OK, so a bad habit of mine is overeating and eating past fullness. I want to break this and have designed a paper system for tracking this, amongst some other habits i want to build. The problem i have is that tracking 'not overeating' every day, still communicates/ attracts the problem itself. Law of attraction states that you focus on what you get, so having overeating in the habit tracker still puts this idea in my mind. Would it be better to change the wording to something more positive? the only problem with this is i feel im not being explicitly clear on the habit im trying to break and i know my mind well if i see that im tracking something every day and its not clear what im moving away from, it will try and rationalise the behaviour! on the other hand, i dont want to attract more of it! What are your thoughts and general advice for breaking a bad habit?

@Leo Gura Thanks for your reply Leo. For reference, i am a man. Can you elaborate on: learning more masculine forms of compassion?

@Yarco thanks for those words, thats really useful. Part of it does feel like imposter syndrome and thats because im not yet prepared for my business to add the value that it will. Once i have done the work in the background i think this will go away.

Hi all, let me preface this with explaining i am in the planning stages of starting my first business. I have taken Jordan Petersons personality test and discovered i am very high in compassion as a personality trait. I all-ready knew this to some extent and over the last few years I have felt my ability to feel and empathise with human emotions, develop significantly. My problem is, I am actually concerned that my business wins may be someone else's losses. Im concerned that these thought patterns are all-ready really holding me back. Rather than focusing on my own success, im thinking about the potential failure of others. I feel its a ridiculous position to be in, because obviously my own life matters more. My level of compassion is to high in this case and being counter productive. im wondering if anyone else has experienced such a feeling and any strategies or ways to re think this.
