You will find that when looking at your life from a performance, or holistic mindset most flaws are like leafy branches all connected to the same main branch. You could spend all year nipping little branches off, or you can head back towards the core more, and get rid of many bad habits at once.

Hence the term "nip it in the bud"

What I am getting at is don't get too caught up in the small details, but focus on the main core of Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Think of it this way. You are house, and right now you are on a sandy foundation. But you are motivated and want to add on, and grow. But with that Sandy foundation, every level you add becomes more and more of a hazard. But instead if you take your time, build that foundation out of Cement then you can build onto yourself as much as you want with little grief.

I think the best place to start is with your diet. Eliminate every chemical possible from your diet, eat organic and raw unprocessed as much as possible. I dare you to eat 100% natural for a month. The clarity you will get just from ridding the mind of the chemicals we consume each day will put your self improvement efforts into hyper-drive.
