Kicking the Habit (process)

Everyone has some type of bad habit. Everyone. Now granted, some have less than others and some bad habits are more destructive than others. Always remember there are two types of bad habits; those that are known, and others that are unknown. Regardless of the type, bad habits usually hinder and individual from living a happy and healthy long life. After time, some habits can become automatic and are carried out subconsciously. Seldom do people realize bad habits are being done until health, friends, and entire families have been affected. These stupid actions need to stop for the benefit and health of everyone and need to stop soon. There are three important steps to consider in eliminating bad habits. These are identifying, taking action while seeking support, and persistence.
First ask close friends and family members to be brutally honest. Getting the courage to ask may be difficult. Be gracious and do not be defensive once they have shared the opinions. These habits will be the known habits, the habits good friend and family members have noticed and are willing to discuss with you. Known habits are the toughest to discuss, because the affect your loved one, yet are still practiced.. So how does so

Second, make a list of all the reasons why to quit the bad habit. Write down positive statements. Start the list with the most powerful and dramatic reason ascending to the least important reason. Now memorize these reasons and keep them in the deep subconscious mind. Make connections between stopping the bad behavior with what good things everyone will receive after doing so. For instance, if someone wants to lose weight, they need to picture being slim and looking good in exciting new fashions. If a person wants to stop smoking, he needs to imagine his wife actually kissing him instead of sending him to the bathroom to brush his teeth! Once a person has the information, it soon comes down to one thing; an act of the will and willpower. Each person should attempt to choose what is right for his or her circumstances, reinforcing throughout the day “…I am choosing to…" Eisenhower rightly once said, "The history of free men is written not by chance but by choice, their choice." It is a choice. There are two philosophies on how to actually start the task of quitting a bad habit, and it can be very tricky. One theory is to take massive action, “It must go, all or nothing”. Using the weight loss for example, a person would go spend $500 to join a gym, rework their schedule, and hit the treadmill everyday for a year. They will get rid of all fat in the house and go all out to loose the weight. Keep in mind what works for some will not always work for others. Many of these people suffer from burnout, feel like failures, and are worse off than before. If people can’t go full out, they need to start slowly, taking baby steps, working diligently toward a planned goal. Perhaps, start by walking one mile a day, and then gradually move up to three. Limiting desserts is another method, cutting down from seven per week down to two. After trying these methods a couple weeks, an assessment needs to made as to
