3 Steps to Break ANY Bad Habit

(Paul Wintergast PhatBurn)

Breaking a bad habit. ?Easier said than done.

It takes a mindful practice that can be broken down into three simple yet efficient steps.

Each step does take work. ?Each step takes practice and repetition. ?In this video, I give you a breakdown of the three steps so you can start at the beginning and work your way through.

If you think you can get rid of a bad habit just through grit, willpower, and strength of character, youre almost certainly overconfident.

Deluded.?Wrong.

“Getting rid of a bad habit requires a dash of mindfulness and a new habit to fill in the gap.” -Jeremy Dean (author of Making Habits, Breaking Habits)

Summary: Once you understand the 2 flows that lead to the good and bad habits start with tracking your triggers. ?Use that information to find common themes which will create awareness.

With your newfound realization use micro habits to interrupt the old routines. Doing this over and over will ingrain in your head the new activity and the new reward.

Over time you will find yourself the proud and happy practice of a fresh good habit. ?Good luck!
