Good Gimmicks For Breaking Bad Habits

by John Maverick

Overview

We shape our environment, and habits shape us.

Building the right routine will significantly impact our ability to establish constructive habits. However, we all have to be careful about what practices we adapt to our lifestyle.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your practice of these good habits?

• gratefulness over apathy
• honesty over deception
• diligence over procrastination
• diet and exercise over sloth and binge eating
• timeliness over procrastination
• meditation and reflection over overthinking and impulsivity

At first, certain habits might seem harmless, especially when they make things convenient. But the more we linger around noxious patterns, the more difficult it becomes to break free from the cycle. Without us realizing it, we end up hurting ourselves and rupturing our relationships with others.
