This is another quote from my 8th grade classroom wall. And its a good one. Just like habits form over time we can’t expect to get rid of them all of a sudden.
Whether your bad habit is smoking, drinking, gambling, over-eating, or spending too much on your smart-phone it didn’t become a habit all at once.
I’ve worked on bad habits throughout my life and I’ve taken various approaches. The most success I’ve had is by making a plan, starting small and increasing the challenge as I go.
For example, if you want to eat healthier you might not have great success if you try to stop eating junk food ‘cold turkey’ as they say. Make a plan to have a healthy meal each day, or even just a snack. Once that becomes easy add another challenge until you reach a level of healthy eating that you’re happy with. Maybe you still have junk food for a treat once a week but if that’s ok with you then you’ve succeeded.
This type of plan can work with any habit. What’s the bad habit you want to stop? How can you coax it down the stairs one at a time?
