Most likely, if you turned to this article, you already have some kind of bad habit, and maybe not one. This means that it is time to get rid of them.
So, the first thing to do is to admit to yourself that this habit is really harmful and gives you some discomfort. Stop convincing yourself that you enjoy, say, smoking, overeating, shopaholism, Internet addiction or drinking alcohol. Understand that it destroys you.
Do not rush from one extreme to another, gradually minimize the daily number of cigarettes smoked, hours spent in front of a computer monitor, or glasses of drunk alcohol. Techniques that offer to abruptly abandon a bad habit, of course, have a place to be, but such radical methods are not suitable for everyone and do not always work and can even aggravate the situation. Also, you should not immediately take up the eradication of all habits at a time - get rid of each in turn.
Try to motivate yourself. Find books or articles that reveal the depth of your problem. Calculate how much money you invest each month to damage your health. Read the stories of people who have successfully overcome this problem.
Try replacing a bad habit with a good one, in some cases it also works. Start learning a new language, read books, take time to go to the gym or just go for a run. Choose the appropriate promotion method and praise yourself after every good day.
Another good option is to set the price of the word. For example, you have a problem with overeating. You know that this has a bad effect on the health of your body and overall appearance, so you decide to change the situation. You can do this: just tell yourself that do 200 squats, run 5 kilometers, give money to the homeless and so on, there are countless options. The next difficulty is to keep the word given to oneself in case of failure. If self-control is difficult or you are afraid to not cope, ask your relatives and friends for help or just make a bet.
If the first attempt was unsuccessful, do not despair and give up. Try again and again, find new ways to eradicate bad habits! Remember that this is only your decision and no one is interested in this the way you do.
