How To Fix Bad Habits
Deep down a craving is a motive. This means that there is always a real reason people do things.
When you’re craving for food, you’re not craving it for craving sake, but it’s because there is a deeper motive, which is, you want to satisfy your hunger.
In trying to form or break a habit, you need to bring in feelings and emotions because they are tied to cravings.
If you attach a negative feeling to a habit, you have a high chance of not doing it because you’d want to avoid the negative feelings.
You can also attach positive feeling to habits you want to form.

When you want to break a habit, make it unattractive. Attach a negative feeling to it.
