Ways to get rid of a bad habit
It can be challenging to break a habit after it has been ingrained in our lives. However, it is crucial to discontinue a harmful habit once it starts to negatively affect our physical, emotional, and mental health. It’s far simpler to switch an unhealthy behavior for a healthy one than to completely break a habit for those who desire to stop one (such as smoking or eating unhealthy foods). This is due to the fact that our neurological pathways become practically imprinted once we develop a habit.
Finding the real cue and addressing it, whether it be tension, anxiety, or boredom, is important when trying to break a negative habit.
The negative habit is practiced through the routine. Knowing the routine will help us replace it with a habit that can prove beneficial for us, whether it be scrolling through social media or taking a break to smoke outside.
The brain receives a reward from any harmful habit, such as a dopamine rush when we smoke outside or browse social media. We will be able to address it more successfully once we begin to recognize how it initially makes the mind and body pleasant before having a detrimental influence on them.

Knowing the reward that the habit offers allows us to adjust the routine using the same signal. Instead of smoking when we’re concerned or stressed out, we can go for a quick walk or take a break to listen to music. Repeat it until it becomes second nature.
