Breaking a Bad HabitKyle Herrington

What is Your Bad Habit?

We all have one

Nail biting

Smoking

Acknowledge yours

Replace It

Instead of stopping, replace it

7 steps

Step 1: Substitute

Plan what you will do when stress occurs

Ex. Breathing exercises

Step 2: Cut Out the Trigger

If you smoke whilst drinking, don’t drink

Hide the remote

Step 3: Join Forces

Partner up and quit together

Having someone is a powerful motivator

Step 4: Surround Yourself

Don’t ditch old friends

But find new ones

Step 5: Visualize Success

Picture yourself quitting the habit

Build a new identity

Step 6: Return to Old You

You don’t have to become a new person

Return to being yourself before the habit

Step 7: Plan for Failure

Not everyone succeeds the first time

Plan to get back on track

DON’T GIVE UP!
