If you have a habit that limits yourself to achieve success, this might help you. It could be anything from a late night watching Korean series that leads you to sleep at 3 in the morning and waking up at 6 am to go to your work, from the habit of getting home late because of window shopping or night outs with friends. Those habits that make your body tired at the early morning when you should be alert and focus on what you need to do should stop.

Everyone could relate to this. Everyone has the habit that instead of helping them, making it hard to discipline themselves more. There are two words that could help us to dramatically resists the temptation of doing our bad habits. This research was done by Dr. Vanessa Patrick, a Professor in Marketing in Houston Texas, and done her work about the Power of Self-Talk in the Journal of Consumer Research.

Based on the Study, when I person said “I don’t watch late night Korean dramas”, “I don’t eat chocolate” “I don’t hang out with friends in the mall during weekdays” compared to “I can’t watch late night Korean dramas” “I can’t eat chocolate” and “I can’t hang out with my friends in the mall during weekdays” there is a possibility that “ I don’t” could happen compared to “I can’t”. When it comes to decision-making, “I don’t” is nearly three times effective than “I can’t” when the answer is No, and 8 times effective that saying “I can’t”. I don’t and I can’t make gigantic differences when it comes to decision making and here’s why.


I don’t
I don’t make us in control of what we want to do with our life. The choice is ours and we determine that we don’t do certain things. It is like a period. If you said you don’t, it means you are not doing it, period.

I can’t
I can’t literally mean we just can’t do it. We just can’t do it today, but we can do it tomorrow. Whenever we say we can’t, there is a possibility that we can. We can even move mountains because there will be days that we can really do it and make things possible for us. There is always an option when we say we can’t. It makes us weak because it leads us in a position when we have to choose one and we do it.


Tough Decision Making
When it comes to decision making, we can do a tough declaration that could change everything. We can start saying to ourselves that we don’t eat sweet foods, we don’t mingle with other people’s lives, we don’t sleep late, we don’t go to work late, we don’t allow us to fail, I don’t spend my hard earned money on some things that don’t matter and anything about our life that we need to lessen and eliminate. When you need to resists to eliminate a bad habit, I don’t is stronger than I can’t, so start using that word.

A bad habit is like an addiction. They are both easy to latch onto you and hard to break. I can see the value of saying I don't versus saying I can't. Saying I don't puts you in the right mindset to beat a bad habit and even an addiction.

yeah, when I keep saying to my self that I can't do it, in the end, I can't perform the tasks at all. You need to give yourself some positive motivation in order to over the "I can't" motion.

Moving the heavy mountains in your life can be quite a heavy weight to push. Saying I don't can help. It can help you see how you can take responsibility for yourself. I don't is better than I can't. It shows that you since you "don't" do something, don't know how to do it even if you wanted to. Over time that bad thing becomes an impossibility.

yes, that is putting you in the right mind setting that you don't do the following things. It is like having a rule in life that you don't do those things and you will never do it.

Yes you are right. If there is one thing that we all have in common is something similar to a bad habit. There is something that we should all get rid of because it is not helping us but hurting our progress. We should all be in motion towards something better for ourselves but there is something trying to pull our leg to hold us down it seems. Just kick it off.

Thank you for sharing your insights with I don't and I can't. Now I can differentiate why people say it.

Thanks for sharing. That is true, words are really powerful. It could cut you to the bones. If you speak it it would be possible. It means you are sending a signal to universe that that is what you want to happen.

That is true. When it comes to positive mode, you just need to be true. Sometimes when you are saying it and it is negative, it more powerful and it basically happen. So for this one, let us use some negative words on somethings we need to improve.

I know one of my bad habits for a while was buying coffee and a muffin. I remember one week because I was depressed I had did this 7 days straight! Seeing as I do try to live frugal that is quite terrible... But I guess it is what it is as well perhaps. It can be very hard I find though to stick with choices like this especially if its like an addiction.

"I think I can then I can."
I think this statement still work for those whom want to be succeed in life! And, I am one of them!
Bless me!

Of course you are, you will be successful if you really want it. Me, to be honest, I am not waiting for a turning point or the hard reason to make it happen. I rather do it now or I will regret it.

Bad habits are bad addictions you can't just be great with them.they tag along wherever you go uninvited, even when you don't like them but can't do without them.I fight myself addiction by outlining the consequences and this will inspire me to drop or stops.
