Your habits are the

foundation of your success.

The things you do daily form

your personality, create your

future and give you the

lifestyle you currently have.

And if you’ve decided to do something about

your life, to edit it so that it can be the way you

like it, then you need to work on your habits.

And once you make a change – start a new

behavior, break an old one, or replace a bad habit

with a good one – you need to stick with it.

Here's how to actuallybreak bad ones:

Habit forming and breaking are behavioral processes and there'spsychology and science behind them.

Do a quick research to see what it's all about.

Understand how habits work

Know why

habits are

better than

goals.

When people fail to achieve a goal, the exact reasonwhy that happened is rarely clear. So it is with New

Year’s resolutions.

But if you tell me you failed with a new habit youwere trying to build or with breaking a bad one, and

give me the exact steps you took (plus your preparationor the lack of it, and the things you didn’t do but should

have), I’ll tell you what exactly you did wrong.

Habits make sense, goals don’t.

Choose just 1 to begin with.

Find out the why behind doing all this.

Focus on just starting.

1. Start super small.

Simply make it so easy that

you won’t be able to say no.

Want to stop smoking?

Smoke 1 cigarette less a day.

Or to let go of negative thinking?

Start by substituting one negative thought a day

with a positive one.

2. Choose

incremental

change.

Big results start with small changes.

Every little action you take right now

affects your future and who you

become.

3. Rely on

short-term

motivation.

I’ve recently realized that long-term vision is

much needed to have a direction in life, but it’s

short-term motivation that will keep us going.

We basically need to constantly trick our minds

into going after a certain change in life, so that we

can ignore the distractions on the way and get

closer to it slowly, but steadily.

HERE’S HOW TO REACH SUCH STATEOF MIND AND IMPLEMENT IT TOTHE HABIT YOU’RE WORKING ON:

Be present.

Listen to music.

Learn new skills.

Focus on what you have.

Do things more slowly to find joy.

Read inspirational quotes.

Surround yourself with like-minded people.

4. Commit daily.

Nothing will actually happenuntil you take action, and repeatit daily. No dream can become areality if effort, time and focus

aren’t invested in it daily.

It’s consistency that creates results.

Discipline is nothing more but the habit of

consistency – finding the motivation to do

something again and again, until you do it on

autopilot and start seeing results.Add heading

5. Change your

environment.

Mindset is key when it comes down to

breaking bad habits and working hard on

moving forward every single day.

It all starts in the head, before you see any

actual progress in your life. But what’s

around you is also important and it affects

you more than you think.

6. Prevent failure.

Plan in advance.

Have a fixed time for everything.

7. Track progress.

In order to know if you’re headed in

the right direction, keep track of

everything going on related to the

habit breaking.
