leave bad habits behind

Leaving bad habits behind

 We all have bad habits and we all wish that we can quit them. But if we keep thinking 'I wish' and not 'I will', we can never break the bat. here are a few ways to reduce, if not stop bad habits:

1) Identify your problem:

If you're an alcoholic, accept it. If you're a drug addict, accept it proudly and say that you plan on ending this addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other vice. Tell your friends about your decision and your plan. 

DO NOT try to rationalise your problem by saying that you're just going to drink one glassier check your phone 10 times. 

2) Take active steps and incentives

Teach your garden how to weed it self. I've written a previous blog about it and for more depth, check It out.
incentives play with your mind and reward you for completing certain tasks. 
For example, if you're a smoker, set an incentive that if you don't smoke for a whole week, you will get an extra cigarette on the last day of the week.


The main problem with incentives, however, is the people are not alway honest to themselves and the incentives. 
To solve this, tell somebody to conduct the incentive plan.

3) Interventions, interventions and more interventions:

If you know anybody close to you who has a problem like alcoholism or drug addiction, stage an intervention.
Talk about how you feel about it and get a bunch of people close to the person whose to be spoken to and ask them also to say things about the problem.
Find the root problem of the addiction, be it peer pressure or pleasure and try solving it by calm talking and reassurance.
This is by far the most helpful thing to do for somebody who has a bad addiction.

Summing up

1) Accept your addictions and vices and get prepared to leave it
2) Get a hold of friends who are willing to help you
3) Set up incentives to make your plan work
4) Hold interventions for friends who are influenced by vices.
