Five Steps To Breaking Bad Habits
Do you have any bad habits? I know I do so this tip is also for me.
Whether it’s being chronically late, interrupting people while they are talking, eating the wrong foods, losing your temper, or spending too much time on social media, a bad habit can impede your happiness, health, and social relationships.
To change some bad habits, Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D. says it may require professional help, but understanding the basic principles of behavior change can give you a head start on the process:
1. Decide that you really want to change and convince yourself that you can.
2. Gain insight on what is causing the habit.
3. Set reasonable goals at first
4. Measure your progress and don’t be discouraged by occasional slips
5. Seek additional support if your habits are proving harder to change
By breaking down the change process into five measurable goals, you’ll be on your way to breaking those bad habits.
