Here’s how to get rid of those awful bad habits:
- One at a time. Beat one bad habit per month and in a year you’ll be awesome.
- Don’t stop. Just count. Don’t eliminate the bad behavior just yet. First, be consistent in your awfulness.
- Don’t change you. Change your world. 20 second rule. Make it harder to engage in bad habits.
- Chill, dude. Stress makes the bad stuff tempting. Relax and you’ll behave better.
- Don’t eliminate. Replace. You can’t kill bad habits but you can swap them out for new ones.
- “If” and “Then.” A simple plan for how you’ll beat temptation helps you beat temptation.
- Forgive yourself. Beating yourself up makes you behave worse. Self-compassion keeps you going.
