Bode,

The key is to remember constantly about the importance of growing good habits.

I agree. It’s easy to forget that we need to grow good habits since the bad habits may already feel like second nature to us. This awareness alone will help us a lot in breaking bad habits.
Good luck to you in quitting smoking. Someday I would love to go to Brasil :)

Thanks for the tips. I am trying to incorporate these thoughts with my decision to quit smoking.
I need better habits and better ways to handle with stress and problems of life. The key is to remember constantly about the importance of growing good habits.
Hugs from Brasil!

Martin,
I think Tiago’s example is a good one. Going to places where everybody else is smoking will only make us want to smoke. It feeds the bad habit of smoking.
Another example I can think of is if we want to quit thinking negative thoughts (like hate) then we should stop our self-talk that strengthen those negative thoughts (like “I hate that person”, “He should never do something like that”, and so on).

Tiago,
Thanks for the example!

Hey Martin, i think that a good example of not feeding bad habbits is for instance if you are trying to quit smoking, then you should not go to places where everybody else is smoking…

Can you please give some examples on what you mean with “not feeding the bad habit”? I am not sure if I can interpret correctly what you mean.

Thanks.
