How to Break a Habit

Habits can be good or bad, but most habits we have aren't that good.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Patience
• Maybe a friend to help you
• Nail polish (optional)
• Hair tie (optional)
• Force

1. What are your habits? Picking your nose, chewing on your hair, sleeping with a night light, forgetting things, biting your nails? Identify those habits first.

2. Force yourself to stop. Tell yourself that you can do it. Continue telling yourself until it's in your brain.

3. 

   If you bite your nails, paint them. The paint usually tastes horrible, and when you bite off the paint, you'll get a disgusting flavor in your mouth that will make you want to not bite your nails. It's a deterrant, in other words. (Men should use clear nail polish)

4. 

   If you chew on your hair, wear it up. This will keep your hair out of your reach.

5. Repeat for 30 days. When I was younger, I slept with a night light. To get out of this habit, I forced myself to sleep without one for thirty days, and I never needed one again.

Tips & Warnings

• It'll be difficult, but you can do it! Patience and force is key. Sometimes you'll need a friend to give you a little push or to help you, but you'll love the results.
