Are you tired of feeling stuck in a cycle of bad habits?
Whether it’s procrastination, overeating, or smoking, breaking bad habits can feel impossible. But the truth is, with the right strategies, you can break free from even the most stubborn habits.
In this article, we’ll explore some proven strategies for success when it comes to breaking bad habits.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this article, this is a topic that I covered LIVE this week in my Facebook Community.
This is my first weekly article and I cannot wait to share it with you, it’s a GAME CHANGER!
There are many methods that you can use to break bad habits/transition to good ones. However, these are the ones I covered this week:
Identify the triggers that lead to your bad habit.
Understanding what sets off your habit can help you avoid or manage the triggers.
E.g. You smoke when you feel stressed – Now you know that stress is the TRIGGER. When you feel your chemistry changing due to STRESS, break that reoccurring loop of smoking with a 10-minute walk instead.
Understanding the TRIGGERS will give you the awareness to break to current bad habit loop and change with a more positive one.
Replace bad habits with good ones.
If you’re struggling to stop a bad habit, try replacing it with a healthier one. For example, if you’re trying to quit smoking, try going for a walk or chewing gum whenever you crave a cigarette. Understanding the TRIGGER is vital to changing the RESPONSE. A habit is usually followed on from a TRIGGER.
Get support from friends and family.
Sometimes, breaking bad habits can be easier with the support of others. Share your goals with friends and family, and ask them to help you stay accountable.
Keep track of your progress.
Keeping a journal of your progress can help you stay motivated. Write down each day that you successfully avoid your bad habit, and celebrate your small wins.
This is a massive reason why I have created my GROUND BREAKING: Daily Discipline Programme Its not the fitness programme or nutrition guide that changes peoples lives its the small daily discipline steps that you create that become automatically apart of your day. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS PROGRAMME IS DESIGNED TO DO..
Reward yourself for success.
Set small rewards for yourself for each milestone you reach. This can be a great motivator to keep going.
Breaking bad habits can be challenging, but with the right strategies, it’s definitely possible. Remember to identify your triggers, replace bad habits with good ones, get support from friends and family, track your progress, and reward yourself for success. With these tips in mind, you’ll be well on your way to breaking free from even the most stubborn habits.
