 Nearly all of us have a bad habit, whether we know it or not. Some people say they want to get rid of it but don't know the proper ways. Here's some advice on how to get rid of bad habits.

Make a list. Write down all the reasons why you want to stop a certain behavior£¬how it's hurting you and why to get rid of it, this will help a lot. Look at that list regularly.

Join in other activities. It's wise of you to do something else when you want to stop your bad habit. If you get angry easily, for example, you can practice having a deep breath or going for a walk.

Give yourself a present. Before you take action against a bad habit, decide what you'll do to celebrate it if you reach your goal.

Keep off bad habits. If you are fat and want to lose weight, keep junk food out of your house. If you are a heavy smoker with coffee, turn to tea and keep away from friends who like smoking.

Be patient. Bad habits develop over years, so you probably won't be able to get rid of them quickly. In fact, people often give up several times before being successful, so you should be patient.

Find support. Don't be afraid to ask for support from friends, family or other people who have the same bad habits as you. When you talk to others, they might be able to provide advice or encouragement that you usually wouldn't get from yourself.
