how to break any bad habit
TRANSCRIPT
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:

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.

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.

Be present.
Listen to music.
Learn new skills.
Focus on what you have.

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

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.
