<\/a>A couple of months ago I broke my hand. Once the plaster was off,\u00a0I had the little finger and the next strapped together and rode\u00a0with the rein held between the 2nd & 3rd fingers. After the hand\u00a0was healed, holding the reins like this had developed into a habit\u00a0that I wanted to break.<\/p>\n

The question is, can habits be broken simply and easily?<\/p>\n

I believe that they can, as long as there is a good enough reason.<\/p>\n

Imagine this. You have a bad habit of not washing your horse\u2019s bit after you have ridden. This has been a habit that you have tried to change but haven\u2019t succeeded.<\/p>\n

<\/em>Then your normal happy healthy horse is diagnosed with a very rare disease and the only way to cure him is to wash his bit thoroughly after each ride and then soak the bit in a magic solution ready for the next ride. Without doing this you horse will become very sick and die within hours of your next ride.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>
\nHow long would it take you to change your habit of not washing your\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>horse\u2019s bit? . . . I imagine that you would say \u2018immediately!\u2019
\nbecause there is a good enough reason!<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you have a habit that you would like to break? Don\u2019t focus on breaking it, focus on – the reason you want to break it and<\/p>\n

– the results you will have when the habit has been cured<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em>Then I am sure your success rate will be far higher!<\/em>
