How to Break Bad Habits and Set Yourself Up For Success According to Research
“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” — Warren Buffet
You could be successful in any task you pursue only if bad habits don’t often interfere in the process. Eating healthy, being productive, producing quality outputs — they are all possible.
The only thing is that bad habits keep stealing your valuable energy. They attract you to give in to them. You try to resist them but most of the time, you succumb to them.
Habits are the brain’s way of helping us by establishing a pattern that neurons can follow. They put us on autopilot. They can be your servants or masters.
Most people choose the latter by fostering the bad ones. They devote more time in front of their smartphones or TV screens instead of doing their work. They stress out during submissions because they can’t break their procrastination. They struggle with weight and health because they can’t stop their bad eating habits.
They feel good when they do it but feel bad afterward. They promise to break the bad habit, but they cannot resist the temptation. They pledge to do it tomorrow until the idea disappears into the ether.
