We all have bad habits. How do you overcome?
Ideally - it is better to get to the psychological depth of why we engage in destructive behaviors. But one should also use "tricks".
Here is one. Distance.
You drink too much alcohol [in the religious community there is a serious drinking problem among too many...]. Keep alcohol out of the house, out of sight and out of reach.
You spend too much? Leave the house with no or little money [and of course w/o your credit card].
You eat unhealthy foods? Keep them out of the house.
You reach for your phone hundreds of times a day and your entire life revolves around it? Put it AWAY and only take it out when necessary.
You get the point! Keep things that bring you down at a distance!!!!
