How to actually QUIT any sh*tty habit in 3 mins

Key Strategies for Changing Bad Habits

• Don’t rely on willpower alone. Trying to resist temptation while keeping the same cues around you can make it easy to fall back into a routine.
• Change your surroundings and triggers. Remove or limit objects and situations that prompt the habit. For example, keep your phone away while studying.
• Be deliberate about social influences. If a habit is tied to particular friends or settings, consider spending less time in those situations while you work on changing. This doesn’t necessarily mean cutting people off.
• Reflect on the pattern instead of repeatedly obsessing over it. Spend an uninterrupted hour writing about what leads to the habit and when relapses happen. The goal is to understand the pattern and then move on.
• Replace the habit with a more constructive activity. For example, switch from watching Netflix to video editing and set a clear goal to work toward.
• Make room for creativity and meaningful goals. Find a creative pursuit and remind yourself of things you want to build.
