How to get rid of the Bad Habits

By -

What is a bad habit? it is an unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition and  have a huge factor in our lives. For example smoking, biting nails, excessive shopping, not eating, picking noses and a lot more that can harm your health. 

Getting rid of a bad habit is difficult because your habit is part of your personality already. You have been doing it from the beginning since the day you have learned how to do it.  It causes anxiety when you unwillingly get rid of it even for the first try. Also there is already a need, not just merely a want but a need that you can relate to necessities.

Often times we try to discard those bad habits and more often than not, we failed. Well because we did not try harder and there is no commitment, we just give up so easy on the first try, and we face it alone, I'm not saying it is bad, It is just that no man is an island and everyone needs support and encouragement.

Here are my top 5 on how to get rid  of the bad habit.

1. Be committed. Commitment is not present to people who does not want real change, those who were just forced by somebody to change.It's basic, you just have to want it badly. If you do not want to do it, you always have reason for not doing it, but If you want to do it, you can always find ways on how to do it. 

2. Choose the Right People. Your friends can be the one introduced you to the bad habit, so if you want to change you do not want to hang out with people who are doing the things you want to avoid. It's tempting and you can not resist. Find someone who had succeeded in making a change. 

3. Find a new Hobby. There are a lot of things that you can do in a positive way. like engaging into sports, taking an art class, enrolling in a cooking class, yoga. Find your inner passion and be mad about it, love it and soon your world will turn around.

4. Write a Journal. Keep a small notebook and a pen and write everything. Your success, your failures and why you have failed, your feelings, why you want to do it, make plans on how to get rid of it. Just write it down maybe it is just stress and you just have to let it out. you can use some app today or just your phone to write some thoughts.

5. Trust yourself. Of course there will be failures but that does not mean that you have already failed . Think of the first failures as setbacks, like a trial and error stuff and then get up again tomorrow morning and start anew. Do not be too hard on your self. Make use of the reward-punishment tactic.

That I think my friend can help you in your journey to change for real. Change is hard most of all if it's gonna be good on you. And remember no one can help you but yourself only. Take it slow but for sure. try it and come back, Are you successful even just for a couple of days? What are the obstacles that you think you cannot handle?

Each and everyday we encounter problems and trials that put our survival skills to test, things like school projects, bills to pay, food to eat, broken hearts, bankruptcy, death, and a lot more to mention. These are small and big challenges in life and it varies from person to person on how these problems are being solved, some can handle it perfectly fine but some of us are stuck, does not know what to do, how to react, how to think and some just give up. Often times when we encounter major problems we think that there's no solution to it, we sometimes panic, we tend to over think, we get scared and sometimes we lose hope. We start to ask questions like why it happened, what have we done to deserve such misfortunes, Why life is not fair and etc., but come to think of it, Why not?

Smoking kills, but many of us still smoke cigarettes though. Why do we smoke? Well because first of all it is addicting, it contains  nicotine   that acts on the brain to produce to a  number effects which are pleasant to smokers. Another thing is that it is fun to smoke, rewarding and it kills boredom.Some have started smoking while they are still young, some have tried it out of curiosity and got addicted to it and find it hard to stop.  Yes it's hard to quit smoking but it's possible. I've seen a lot of people who have done it, it takes a lot of working to do and it takes commitment. There will be setbacks but setbacks are just stepping stone, if you smoke 2 packs of cigarette and you try to stop and cut it down to 1 and a half pack for a few days and back to 2 packs a day again, It means you have tried and  it was a success for a couple of days. You did not fail, You just have to do it again and again until you finally can quit. Here are some ...
