Every person has some kind of bad habit. The impact can be varied based on the types of bad habits, from small, non-dangerous habits like biting nails or high pitched laughing to dangerous ones such as smoking, drinking, and reckless behavior. Habits can go unnoticed by people because they vary in seriousness. Breaking habits vary greatly. It can be as simple as not doing something in the morning to stop drugs and alcohol. People often pick up bad habits in their younger years. Some habits people cannot control, such as getting angry quickly or an outburst. But most of the habits people are able to overcome and control.
Some people smoke, some binge eats, and some might even engage in self-destructive behavior. These habits are often deeply ingrained into one’s personality, to the point of becoming the traits by which many define themselves. If you want to change the course of your life, you have to learn how to change these bad habits. Although it is an often long and challenging process, the results will allow you to succeed where you may have otherwise failed. The steps below can help you learn how to identify, confront and eventually eliminate the habits that might control your life.
Bad habits are just a part of our day-to-day life. Your bad habits are often part of who you are. You might make excuses for them, embrace them or even get a bit prickly when others bring them up. In reality, though, these are not just habits — they are a failure. They might be holding you back from achieving success in business, your social life, or even love. Embracing your bad habits means simply learning how to live with what is going wrong, but eliminating them means that you are willing to make a positive change in your own life. There is nothing that says that this is easy, of course, but you should be willing to try it.
Bad habits are hard to get rid of once they have settled in our system. It is best to get rid of them early on, or they should be nipped in the bud. You can understand this by the following example. Imagine a person who starts to smoke. He isn’t probably not going to catch lung cancer after smoking his first cigarette. However, if he keeps this consistent habit for many years, there is a much bigger risk of getting cancer. The problem lies here: these habits initially look harmless, but they’ll grow into big proportions over time. When you overlook the power of small actions or decisions, that’s when the negative side-effects start to kick in — sooner or later.
I realized this with my bad eating habits, and once I understood what I was doing, I had to change my lifestyle for good. Some of those bad habits are not simply bad; they are worse. Knowingly or unknowingly, they take away our healthy lifestyle from us. But we cannot understand that unless we reach the end spot. Ultimately, then there would be nothing left for us to do.
A person having one dangerous bad habit can negate hundreds of his good habits and completely demolish their life. Low-intensity bad habits can be manageable, and even if it stays, the impact will not be so dangerous or destructive.
In my book Building Habits, I have explained many tools and techniques to build good habits.
