Imagine a world where everyone and everything was perfect. No wars, hunger was non-existent and prisons were empty because no one committed crimes. It would be a paradise, right? Sadly, we live in a corrupt world full of people with flaws.
Everyone has a bad habit they wish they kicked out of their lives. Whether it is procrastination or smoking, anger management or hardcore drug use, no one is perfect.
These life hacks can help you embrace a better lifestyle by killing your bad habits in six weeks.
Know your Triggers
Everything good or bad triggers some hormones in our brains. When you think of alcohol as an addict, your brain releases a feel-good hormone. You get a strong impulse to buy beer. If you give in to the feelings, you end up drinking even if you didn’t want to.
Knowing why you’re triggered to do that one habit you can’t stop is the first remedy for stopping it. Triggers could be anything, from watching TV to napping. Whatever it’s, use it to break the habits.
Avoid the Triggers
So, you love to nap? Reading a book is a better hobby. Avoid lying down to rest when you could spend your time doing something more productive. Maybe your trigger is stress and it leads you to binge eating. Avoid anything that stresses you out.
Create a Positive Environment
Once you know what makes you get into your bad habits, create an environment that can help adopt better hobbies. Avoid the negative people in your life. Actively look for a new hobby to create the void created by stopping bad ones. Start to exercise. Go on holiday or do anything to avoid being triggered into a bad habit.
Adopt New Hobbies
When you break a bad habit, it leaves a void. You must fill the empty space with a better habit if you don’t want to relapse. If you used to smoke every time you felt cold, wear warm clothes and learn to play the piano. Adopt new habits for every single bad behavior you eliminate from your life. You will grow better and avoid getting back to your old ways.
