6 WAYS TO BREAK OR CREATE HABITS
excerpt from Jeremy Dean

1. A little is a lot. Focus on modest changes; you don't want to change something big because, in the end, you will sabotage yourself. Make the change manageable.

2. Be objective. Be firm with what you decide to change, but at the same time be realistic; understand the difficulties that may come and how you will not give up.

3. Repeat. Nothing is as "magical" as repeating what you want to form a new habit.

4. Don't hold back. Many times, we try to suppress thoughts to ,"forget" them, but obviously the opposite always happens. For example, if you want to quit smoking, and you avoid thinking about ci******es, suddenly you will see ci**rs everywhere.

5. Substitute. Instead of suppressing, replace the habit with something else. For example, if you used to move your foot uncontrollably, instead of thinking about not moving it, when you feel the urge, stand up and walk for a minute.

6. Reaffirm. Creating a habit has to do with your self-control and commitment. Think that as long as you manage to achieve it, you will be doing something beneficial for yourself.
