Breaking A Bad Habit!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you to Ms. Rhonda Byrne and The Secret team for sharing The Secret with the world. And thank you to everyone who posts their stories on this website.
I discovered The Secret on October 31 and it took me a month and a half-ish to learn how to use it properly. I would not have learned it properly or had the motivation to apply it to my life if it were not for the stories on this site.
I want to share a quick manifestation with everyone. So all my life for as long as I can remember I have had this habit. It is a fidgeting habit. Like, how some people have a habit of biting their nails or shaking their leg to help them concentrate better. I won’t tell you what my stupid habit was but I did it all the time! Like basically every second of the day! And I had been trying all my life to stop doing it. At one point I thought I have to live like this forever. As I was learning how to use The Secret, one of my wishes was to stop this habit.
One of the rules about how to apply The Secret is to not say, “I don’t want…”, instead, you say, “I want…”. I was sitting on my bed one day and remembered how a few years ago I actually woke up one day and stopped doing my fidgety habit but it only lasted for about 3 or 4 months. Then I went back to doing it. So I said in my head, “I want to be the way I was during those 3 to 4 months. I want to be habit-free.” I thought to myself, “this may take time but I will wait for however long it takes.”
About one hour later I found myself not doing my fidgety habit anymore! Now it has been almost 2 weeks and I just don’t do it anymore. Psychologically, a fidgeting habit gives you a good or pleasurable feeling but I don’t get that feeling. My mind doesn’t even go there!
I feel I received this by asking properly (“I want…”) and by letting it go, which means I was not stressing about it. I was willing to wait however long it took to get it. When we don’t worry, we get it faster. This is my first manifestation and a very important one for me!
Thank you to the Universe and God!
