Five Steps for Changing Any Bad Habit

These tips come courtesy of Cherry Pedrick, coauthor of The Ha*****ange Workbook ($16, amazon.com).

 

  • Know when your habit shows up. Identify habit-prone situations. Record how often and where it presents itself.
  • Know the consequences. List the advantages and disadvantages of keeping—or changing—your habit.
  • Know an alternative behavior. Develop a competing response that you can employ instead of falling back on your habit.
  • Know your goals. Make a plan with short-and long-term goals, and reward yourself when you reach them.
  • Know you're human. Don't beat yourself up if you fall back into your old ways. This is a natural part of change.
