3 Ways to Beat Your Bad Habits

Posted on 29 April 2008 by admin

Zero tolerance: It's the only way to break a bad habit. So don't indulge - scratch that itch mentally. Here's how.

#1 - Wear a Rubber Band

When you feel a craving coming on, snap your wrist three times quickly. Scientists and torturers call this negative reinforcement: Craving equals pain. It's akin to smacking yourself on the nose with a newspaper.

#2 - Pour Yourself a Glass of Cure

When it comes to nervous habits, water is your secret weapon. When you feel a craving coming on, chug at least 10 ounces. It's amazing how well this works.

#3 - Switch Sides of the Bed

If you're a consistent habit former, you should overhaul your routines - what time you wake up, what you eat for breakfast, what route you take to work, and so on - every 3 months.

    The institution of good habits, to me, is the best method used
    to offset bad habits. Good habits keep you busy being good
    while bad habits can't stand the light of goodness and just disappear.
