Tips to break nasty and bad-habits.

• Identify the stimulus or trigger.

You don't overeat or smoke all the time. Something has to trigger you to automatically do your habit. Become aware when and how the stimulus shows up and causes you to respond and react.

• Communicate with yourself and look for the underlying intention.

Ask yourself what you are trying to gain by generating the behavior. Search for the answers from your unconscious. Listen carefully because your mind will come up with many answers and issues.

Find the inner motivation that is causing you to repeat your undesirable patterns. How do you see yourself if you were to continue doing your habit?

Do you perceive a lot of pain disengaging or letting go of your addiction or attachment?

• See the benefit of getting rid of the habit.

What kind of image do you see if you no longer have the habit? How would you feel when you have removed your addictive behavior? What kind of improvement in your performance can you see if you make a change?

• Repeat seeing the new empowering positive image.

Make a conscious effort to see your new image each time you feel like repeating your habit.

You are telling your subconscious mind to cancel the old thought pattern and override it with the person you would like to become.

You are leading and directing the mind to change its thought patterns and developing a different thinking and reacting to the trigger.
