How to stop bad habits | Animated video | 3 steps
money to our health to our jobs. Stopping habits is something a lot of
people want to do but just can't manage. This video has three easy rules to help
you develop a warrior mentality and stop these habits once and for all.
Step number one: IDENTIFY YOUR HABIT TRIGGER. So once you pinpoint what it is
you want to stop the first step is to figure out what is causing you to turn
to this habit for example; smokers smoke more on nights out or on social
occasions than on days at home or, boredom makes you want to play video games
rather than revise for that test that you have next week. The trigger is the
strongest stimulus that leads to the habit so identifying and avoiding this
during the initial quitting phase is key-therefore no more nights out and keep
the PlayStation out of sight initially. Number two-Know your why. When times get
tough you should remind yourself why you want to quit, for example health money
family. Also there are many tools out there that you can use to assist you in
stopping your bad habit, for example when I wanted to stop smoking
I used a stop smoking app on the iPhone to track what health benefits I had so
far accomplished and how much money I'd saved. This helped me to keep going when
the times got rough however, you CANNOT rely on motivation as that goes up and
down. Motivation can get you started but discipline keeps you going! Know your why
and refer back to it at hard times because this is WHY you want to quit NOT
because you're motivated. Step number three-3 days, 3 weeks,
3 months. The height of addiction is the third day with the craving is at an
all-time high. If you can get past this it's only easier from here. This isn't to
say it's going to be easy but you're past the worst. After this
you will have to fight TEMPTATION. During the first three days you must do your
utmost to avoid the trigger. You will have to fight social pressures for
example friends calling you out, the mind for example boredom and also your body
for example cravings. Rule number two is very important here-
REMEMBER YOUR WHY! During the three weeks you will begin to build discipline. As
previously stated the motivation may have reduced but we still need to
accomplish our goal. Cravings are also beginning to reduce
and although we're not through the tunnel yet we can begin to see that speck of
light. Leading up to the three months social and personal pressures will
mostly have disappeared. It's now a routine for you to avoid your previous
bad habit and as we reach the end of the three months upon entering the
battlefield or being confronted with your previous habit your discipline will
now help you to resist. The main take home from this rule is that if you can
do something for three days you can do it for three weeks if you can do it for
three weeks you can do it for three months and if you can do it for three
months you can do it for the rest of your life. Having made it to the end of
the three months you only have yourself to blame if you go back to your previous
bad habit. Also the discipline that you've built within these three months
you can use to take forward to future battles and conquer other bad habits. Use
this experience to know that you can defeat anything as long as you put your
mind to it. Now go out there and see what else you can achieve! Drop your comments
