More than 90% of everything we do is by habit, from brushing our teeth to walking down the street to signing our name. Most of these habitual behaviors are positive – but often there are some behaviors that hold us back and even make us sick. Those habits may have to do with smoking, overeating, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, gambling, losing one’s temper, or any behavior that is repeated in spite of the fact it is not helping.

All of your behaviors belong to you, and you have the right to change them. The resources you find here will help you understand why you behave the way you do, and why others behave as they do. You will learn how to become more aware of your habits, addictions and other behaviors that do not serve you and how you can understand the emotions at their root. And especially, you will find tips and tools you can use to make the changes you want to make. If you are not familiar with the use of Mind-Tools for Behavior change, you might want to go first to About Mind-Tools section of our Learning Center.
