Certain behaviors we engage in become habitual and often these habits are not healthy for a person. However, a habit is tough to break!

Here are some things you can try:

1. Make up your mind to do it.
2. Think of all the negative things and how you felt doing the old behavior.
3. Make time for yourself to focus on this.
4. Get lots of exercise and eat healthier.
5. Get lots of rest too!
6. Ask for support from family and friends. Tell them what you’re working on.

It takes from 28 to 30 days to break a habit.

Take it one day at a time, one minute at a time.

Feel proud for every minute you do not engage in your old destructive behavior!

DON’T replace one bad habit with another!

If all else fails reach out to a therapist for help.
