Kicking Bad Habits
Understand what causes such behavior, experts say
THE HARTFORD COURANT
Want to quit late-night snacking? Stop smoking? Control your temper? Exercise more? Stop procrastinating? Get places on time? There are legions of experts who can help you - from therapists to hypnotists, from life coaches to motivational gurus - each with their own spin on how to jettison bad habits and create healthful new ones.
However, while the particulars may vary from expert to expert - whether it takes a trance or inner-strength or visualization or writing your goals on paper or watching inspirational movies - a few central tenets do not.
First, don't just focus on the behavior you want to change. Instead, start by changing your thinking. Figure out why you developed the dubious habit to begin with.
