7 Habits on THe INside Class
I am officially in the 7 Habits on the inside class. Tues 7/8/25 was my first day. Ive been really looking forward to this class and other guys said the same that theyve been looking forward to it. THeres got to be at least 30 people in attendance. Ive heard great things about the 7 Habits and many successful people swear by the book. Fortune 500 companies and entreprenuers pay tens of thousands of dollars & even more to take the 7 Habits classes/seminars. Some companies make you take the class to work for them. THis is an evidence based recidivism reduction program. My counselor teaches the class and hes really into it which gives us a little hope that at least someone here cares about rehabilitation. ONe thing I realized while on pretrial release is that even after multiple years clean and sober I still had bad habits that affected me in destructive ways. I rememeber being locked up, off drugs, on a routine, working out exercising, educating through reading books and telling myself how much better I would live and do these things one released. How I would wake up early still, eat so much healthier because Id have much access to healthier foods and supplements, how i would work out at the gym consistently with weights and machines, how I would educate myself so much better with more access to knowledge. Then Im out there in the real world and not doing these things. I realized because of all these poor habits I still felt like a prisoner. I felt worse than an inmate becasue I was a prisoner to my own poor habits, impulsive decisions, procrastination and laziness. I was a prisoner to outside forces that I could have controlled. SO it wasnt just the drugs or criminal lifestyle all along it was me and my mental health and character defects. At times I shaped up and adjusted for improvement but other times I was stuck in the cycle of bad habits. Hopefully through this class I can work to improve myself and change poor habits into health and effective habits. I am working on handling priorities first rather than procrastinate. I am working to utilize my time for productive activities instead of wastin time. Completing one project at a time and using creativity in a positive way. Their definition of effectiveness is getting the results you want in such a way that you can get even better results in the future. Overall Im pumped up about what this class beholds and what the outcome will be. I will keep yall updated as I go.
