First of all, the habit is probably giving you some form of either instant pleasure or helping you avoid pain. Does this apply to your bad habit? Even more powerful, your brain has formed strong synapses for the habitual behavior. This is like water that has carved a deep canyon. It's impossible to redirect the river. Don't dispair, however. You can start a new river and direct it's course. Therefore, instead of trying to change an old habit, form an entirely new habit. That way your brain will be forming new synapses that are not tied to the old habit. Here are two examples: If you are trying to lose weight, don't give up your favorite foods. Instead, form a new habit of eating a salad before each meal, with fat free dressing, of course, and a cup of steamed vegetables with each meal. These new foods will help fill your stomach and curb your appetite so you will eat less of your favorite foods and enjoy them without guilt. If you have a habit of being late to wherever you have to go, start a new habit of getting there, not on time which is tied to your old habit, but at least 15 minutes early. Take along your favorite book and allow yourself to read it only when you arrive early to work or to your appointment. That will connect pleasure to your new habit. Now try this stragegy with your bad habit. Keep up your new habit for at least three weeks, and watch your bad habit gradually fade away. From the Secrets of Self-Confidence Seminar.
