Bad habits, most people go at them head on, e.g., going cold turkey, starting a DIEt (notice that right now), shredding the cards. We go after the symptoms rather than the causes and conditions. To really make a lasting change we have to know what we want to be rid of, what we want with 100% Certainty and make it a MUST HAVE, then imagine what life will be like if the habit continues and replay that vision over and over and over. Since nature abhors a vacuum we next replace the bad habit with something empowering, a new habit that brings us pleasure. Then we maintain the replacement behavior.
