The Rec Center strongly believes in a healthy life in as
many ways as possible. Not just
exercising, but eliminating as many unhealthy things from your life as possible
is our goal. Here are 3 simple steps to
break bad habits that you don’t want.
1: Make
yourself aware that you have a bad habit, and become aware of what it does to
you. If you can, try to figure out why
you do it and what feelings it brings you.
This will make it easier to isolate and eliminate.
2: Write it
down. Putting your bad habit in writing
makes it very real. After writing what
the habit is, write down questions about the habit relating to why you do it
and when. Figure out what this bad habit
emotionally does for you. Learn as much
about why when, and how you do the habit to make the next step more successful.
3: Now that
you know why you do they bad habit, find something that replaces it. This will require finding something that
brings the same emotions and relief as the bad habit, just without as many
negative effects. What if you were nail biter and you wanted to stop? A big aspect of this habit is the desire to fidget with something in
your mouth. A great alternative could be
sugar free gum because it is not unhealthy and can save your fingernails.
