How to quit bad habits

how to quit bad habits

I am sure that you have tried to quit a habit before yet found yourself lacking the required enthusiasm. Why do people fail to wake up early although they eagerly want to do it? Or why do they lack the motive for stopping smoking although they know that it’s not healthy?

In my article breaking the habit tonight I have answered such questions in deep detail but In addition to all the previously mentioned factors there is another one strong factor that can affect your ability to quit a habit which is succeeding in convincing your subconscious mind.

convincing your subconscious mind

One of the biggest reasons for lack of motivation is that people fail to convince their subconscious minds with their goals. You may know that smoking is bad and that its costs you lots of money but in the same time you find yourself lacking the motive to quit. This happens because although your conscious mind is convinced of the bad effects associated with smoking still your subconscious mind is happy with it.

Why do you think you can’t wake up early that easy? It’s because your subconscious mind is not convinced that waking up early that day will be of a great benefit. What’s funny is that after few weeks of failing to wake up at 7 am you can succeed in doing it the same day you know that you have an exam at 8, this happens because your subconscious mind becomes aware this time of the importance of waking up early and so it helps you in doing it.

Force yourself to wake up early for few days and you will be sending a clear message to your subconscious mind that you are serious about waking up early. The same goes for quitting a bad habit. The more you keep on doing the same thing, like not doing a certain habit, the more your subconscious mind thinks that you are serious about it and the more it will help you in quitting this habit. You can also change your self concept by forcing yourself to change your unwanted behavior, say lack of self confidence, after several times of acting confidently your subconscious mind will start to believe that you are really confident and your self concept will be upgraded.
