Bad habits are something that we all have to come to terms with because we're all going to have them at some point. It could be smoking, it could be nail biting, or it could even be overeating.
Follow these strategies, if you want to set on the right path:
Be Committed: Oftentimes we want to do things that we will never actually do. It might sound easy, but you will find that staying committed is difficult, especially if the work involved is something that you really do not want to do.
Avoid Peer Pressure: You are only doing this for one person - you.
Document your Progress: You need to know when your undesired behavior is occurring as this knowledge will give you a better idea of how to break it. Document your feelings. If you've documented your feelings however, you will know just how bad it was!
Substitute Behavior: By substituting your behavior you will either be coming up with a new behavior that reminds you to stop the old one,or you will be replacing with a much more desirable behavior.
For instance you could ride a bike, play a video game, jump rope, or even watch a movie.
Schedule your Replacement: It may not be possible to do a complete change in a short period of time. Try scheduling and gradually replacing your bad habit.
Soon enough, you should find that your new habit replaces your old one entirely. Don't be discouraged!
A Vow of Silence Doesn't Help: You need your family now more than ever. Gain the willpower you need to push through this difficult time and break the habit that you've always wanted to break.
