A Plan For Breaking Those Bad Habits…

"But it is not enough to simply enough try to “break” a bad habit; the process is much more effective when actively replacing it with a good habit. If you’re addicted to nicotine, try chewing gum to address the oral fixation, but avoid replacing food for the cigarette. Remember, this isn’t just a habit you’re trying to kick; it’s a lifestyle adjustment. Cultivate a new way of being.

Social support should be a critical element of your plan as well. Most tasks are easier with a partner, and we often need some social support to make it through the process of kicking a lousy habit. Join up with someone facing a similar challenge. Having a partner to lean on will provide a sense of moral support."
