That alone can make lots of progress in breaking bad habits. Other strategies to try can include replacing the bad habit with a less bad one (but still enjoyable), congratulating and rewarding yourself every time you almost or completely avoid doing a bad habit, reminding yourself why breaking the habit is important to you and your wellbeing, and learning how to give your body and mind the patience it needs to change. Patient enough to keep trying for years.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1773119525\"><div id=\"thefa-1876129323\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Take control of your life<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adam A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Choose a good habit to replace it with.

Daily I watched his posts. At first nothing of his posts influenced but as time flew, I started getting this feeling, \u201cwhy can\u2019t I do it\u201d. Slowly I started changing my habits like smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. From \u201cI will do it tomorrow\u201d, I reached \u201cI am doing it\u201d. This is where my patience is being is tested because I never left these habits for such a long time and constantly feel \u201cShould smoke TODAY\u201d. I found a certain book and started using Fabulous app after 1 year of subscribing to the services, which also helps me in motivating myself to do things what I wish to do. Constantly, one step at a time, I build my daily routine. May be because I devised this  and not through any app, I don\u2019t wish to break it. From \u201cI am doing it\u201d, I will reach \u201cI did it\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Steve F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The first step is acknowledging the bad habit and your reasons for doing it, how and why it is damaging to you, and the main motivation for kicking the habit.
