subject: How to Eliminate Bad Habits [print this page]

It is easy to acquire bad habits but it is difficult to

eliminate them. Defeating your bad habits means fighting

your own self. Oftentimes, your own self can be your worst

enemy. There are several ways to help you get rid of your

bad habits. Remember however that this cannot be done

overnight.

Have the Perseverance to Overcome your Bad Habits

"The mind is willing but the flesh is weak." This verse from

the New Testament of the Bible aptly describes how weak the

willpower of people can be. You often feel frustrated when

trying to eliminate your bad habits. It is not unusual to

slide back into them from time to time. Try to persevere and

stick to your goal of eliminating them no matter how many

times you slide back. Your desire to conquer your habits

must come from a sincere heart. Use positive affirmations to

condition your mind and heart that you can do it. Oftentimes

a spiritual renewal can help you to combat your bad habits.

When you are spiritually healthy, you become more determined

to live a more acceptable and righteous life.

Be Fearful of the Negative Consequences

Sometimes fear can be an effective factor in eliminating the

bad things in a person's life. You should be fearful of the

negative consequences of your bad habit. Your health,

finances and your relationship with your loved ones often

suffer or destroyed because of them.

Keep Yourself Busy

It is said that an idle mind is the workshop of the devil.

Keep busy with worthwhile activities to distract yourself

from your bad habits. Do something which you find productive

and enjoyable. Remind yourself that time is a gift which

should not be wasted on stupid things. Try to be the best

person that you can be by engaging only in activities that

are beneficial to your body and your spirit.

Avoid Bad Influences

"Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you

are," so goes an old wise saying. A person usually picks up

his bad habits from bad companions. You should avoid people

who are in the same bad habits that you are trying to

eliminate. You should also refrain from going to places and

events which promote these bad habits. Instead, find friends

who are supportive of your goal to change into a better

person.

Remember that you are the one responsible for eliminating

your bad habits. Even the closest person in your life is

incapable of helping you get rid of them without true

commitment on your part.
