Description:This ebook is all about how to break a bad habit in 30 days. An unhealthy habit can have a negative impact on your physical and/or mental health and leave you feeling as if you don't have enough control over your impulses. A bad habit can be hard to break, but this step-by-step plan can make it much easier. Okay, here are the 5 steps. You'll soon see how to break a bad habit in 30 days. Step 1 Monitor the habit for a week. Make note of the times you're most likely to engage in the bad habit. Maybe you only smoke around certain people. Perhaps you bite your nails only when you're stressed or bored. Try to identify the circumstances when your bad habit is most likely to rear its ugly head. Step 2 Find out why you have that habit. Sometimes, a habit helps to satisfy a need on some level. That need might be physical or emotional. There is almost always a reason why you engage in the behavior. Figuring out the reason for the bad habit will help you understand it. Once you understand it, you can begin to change it. Step 3 Develop a substitute behavior. Find a more acceptable alternative that satisfies the same need that was being met by the old habit. For example, if your habit helps you deal with stress, the healthy alternatives might include things such as; yoga taking a walk deep breathing meditating singing calling a friend watching a comedy or reading a funny story. So, instead of engaging in the old behavior, what could you do that would be more beneficial for you? Start to replace the old habit with the new one. It might take bit of effort at first, but it will become easier with practice. Keep a positive attitude and focus on the change that you desire AND deserve! You can do it! Step 4 Measure your progress. Keep track of how many times you engage in the old habit and how many times you engage in the new habit. Progress might be hard to determine without measurement. When you do the new habit more than the old habit, you will know that you're making progress and moving in the right direction. By measuring your progress, you accomplish two things: You get feedback so you know how successful you are. You have the added motivation to keep moving ahead. Step 5 Be patient. Take things one step at a time. Don't be upset if an occasional slip-up happens while you're breaking your old habit. Look at the situation without getting emotional and determine a better solution for the next time. Keep in mind that you still gain a lot by doing the old habit less often. It really helps to focus on doing the new habit instead of the old one for a short period of time, such as the morning, then the afternoon, then the evening and soon you can focus on the whole day. When you are able to string several of the time blocks together, you'll know you are making good progress on breaking the bad habit. When you focus on one small block of time before moving to the next block of time, the process is more doable and easier to manage. Soon, the healthier habit will become part of your routine without much conscious effort.
