Step 1: Identify your bad habits
According to Science Daily, identification of bad habits is the first step, which need not be as easy as it might seem. Think about the root of the problem you are facing, and what bad habits of yours are responsible for these problems.
Step 2: Set up goals
What are your goals? Do you want to eliminate the habit altogether or just reduce it? Can your goal be expressed exactly, in numbers? It is always better to proceed according to a system than to act blindly.
Step 3: Make changes gradually
Do not turn your life over at once. Take things step by step, and only after you succeed in making a small change, proceed further. If you try to make all changes in one go and immediately, you will most likely fail.
Step 4: Study theory
Before making a change, study the best way to break the habit and what you will be doing instead of it. People often make the mistake of focusing too much on what not to do but have no plan for how things should actually be done correctly.
Step 5: Be in touch with someone you trust
The more the merrier. If you are serious about changing your habits, you should speak to someone about the situation and continuously track developments. This person might be a colleague, acquaintance, family member or professional coach.
