Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits

14 New Behaviors That Will Energize Your Life

De: Joyce Meyer

Narrado por: Sandra McCollom

Nearly everything we do in life is the result of our habits. The good ones bring peace, joy and power into our lives, and the bad ones steal our peace and joy and prevent our success.

In this book, Joyce Meyer explains how to develop good habits -- the things you really want to do -- and break the bad ones, putting an end to frustration, discouragement and stress that drains your energy.

The most important habit comes first: the God habit. Next comes a willingness to work for the results you want. Joyce reminds us that, "if we don't pay the price for freedom, we will end up paying the price for bondage". Next comes the power of our words. Our words and the thoughts that propel them have tremendous power over our actions, and repeated actions are the basis of our habits.

There are eleven more habits that Joyce discusses in depth, including the habits of happiness, faith, excellence, responsibility, generosity, discipline, decisiveness and confidence.

"Choose one area and begin," she urges. "Don't feel overwhelmed by all the changes that are needed. One thing at a time, one day at a time is the best plan. Celebrate every day of success, and when you make mistakes, shake off the disappointment and keep going forward."

You can transform your life, one habit at a time.

I really enjoyed it

This book has just great ideas for replacing bad habits with good Godly ones. I really enjoyed it.

Unique and worth giving a read!

I have read hundreds of self help books over the years. And I won’t say this book blew me away but it was definitely worth reading. I picked it out because I was in a slump and depressed from a cycle of bad habits I just couldn’t seem to get free from. Reading and applying this book has indeed helped. *Why* What I love the most about Joyce’s book here is that she created a different approach to over coming and habits that is worth noting. Inspired by a bible verse “over come evil with good” she explains that by focusing on creating and practicing good habits, the bad habits will eventually lose their power of your life and be gone. It is true. I’m a lot happier to wake up and focus on doing something good instead of fighting to refrain from doing something bad. Besides that, no matter what season of life your in this book will provide the convicting cut or dose of encouragement you need in so many areas. Whether reminding you of things you already knew and just needed to be refreshed to go after it again, or brand new habits and approaches to your life. This book is worth having for sure.

Book content excellent. Narrator not so much.

Want to return book as I continue into Ch. 2. Very disappointed. Narrator sounds as if She's barking instructions. Will finish, in spite of this. Know Joyce's content to be worth it.

Good to understand about my bad habit.

THIS IS Good word of God to change our bad habit in my life.

Sandra McCollom’s voice is wonderful!

As usual, Joyce’s book is a powerful and poetic teaching of the need for good habits in many areas. This spoke directly to me and I am motivated to take action.

Sandra’s voice is smooth, encouraging, and completely engaging! I have listened many times and hear new strategies each time I experience the reading.

I have more than 12 of Joyce’s books: some narrated by her and some by other narrators. I thoroughly appreciate this book! Excellent!!!

Great book! Love it!

I wanted to establish good habits, but I didn’t realized that I’ve been struggling with bad habits too. After listening this book halfway, I realized I’ve been procrastinating and always made excuses, and through Joyce’s advices from God I stopped biting nails. By the time I finished listening to this book, my nails had grown beautifully (even though not perfect) which this is only possible to stop that bad habits because of God. Highly recommended!

Love the step by step

I love the way this was laid out. Each habit built onto the next one

GODLY instruction

This is what I needed to hear at this time! I am excited to put it in practice!
