I, myself, have so much bad habits that I would kill to get rid off. I will definitely NOT disclose them because I am ashamed of them :) but I came across an article that helps tackle/sets you in the right path to get rid of those bad habits. Its known that you need to be very strong and have will power, which I lack, to get rid of bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and addictions in general. Well, those are really bad habits but bad habits could be other habits that you see bad in your own eyes like cravings, chewing gum, nail biting..etc. Anyways, those three steps would set you in the right direction to overcoming those habits.
#1) WEAR A RUBBERBAND
when you feel a craving coming on, snap your wrist three times quickly. Scientists and torturers call this negative reinforcement: Craving equals pain. It's akin to smacking yourself on the nose with a newspaper.
#2) POUR YOURSELF A GLASS OF CURE
When it comes to nervous habits, water is your secret weapon. When you feel a craving coming on, chug at least 10 ounces. It's amazing how well this works.
#3) SWITCH SIDES OF THE BED
If you're a consistent habit former, you should overhaul your routines- what time you wake up, what you eat for breakfast, what route you take to work, and so on- every 3 months.
