A short YouTube monologue (Kara Lawson) warning about the start of "losing habits": she emphasizes identifying early signs of losing habits, stopping them before they become entrenched, and taking personal responsibility to correct behavior. She says she will call out losing habits when she sees them, but each person must stop them within themselves and "practice and play and behave like a winner" to win games.

I'm here to tell you when we have the start of losing habits, because I don't want to develop them. If we develop them, they're habits. They're hard to get out. That's the problem with losing habits is once they infiltrate this circle, they're hard to kill.
And so we have to stop them before they become habits. And I'm going to tell you every time I see it. But then it's incumbent upon you to stop it. Within yourself.
You have to practice and play and behave like a winner. If you want to win games.
You have to do that. It is not something you can just decide to be when you wake up. It ain't a Halloween costume. You can't just decide you're going to be that day a winner. That's not how it is. You have to be that every single day. In your approach and in your execution.
