Bad..! Bad..! Bad Habits

What is a habit?

Habit is a personal behavior or action. It is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and unknowingly. 

It is a personal preference given by that person to do the action. If someone's action is good, or positive behavior, it’s said to have good habits. And if there is a bad action or negative behavior, it’s said to be a bad habit. Of course, the criteria for good and bad are determined differently for everyone. 

If good habits start in childhood, they will have a good effect throughout life. Bad habits don't have to be taught, the person goes on their diet unknowingly. To get into a good or bad habit, the person may fall prey to the habit, even if it is based on the importance of the habit or the emotional attachment that the person gives to the habit, along with the home environment, neighbors, friends, and relatives. In the case of some habits, it is initially seen as fun or amusement but later it becomes serious.

Some habits have mild consequences, while others have serious consequences. Whatever the outcome, the habit is bad. Even if you know the seriousness of the consequences of the habit, if it continues, it is understood that the habit has taken a serious form. It is important to seek expert advice.

A key factor in distinguishing a bad habit from an addiction or mental disease is the element of willpower. If a person still seems to have control over the behavior then it is just a habit. Good intentions can override the negative effect of bad habits but their effect seems to be independent and additive the bad habits remain but are subdued rather than canceled.

The best time to correct a bad habit is immediately before it becomes established. So, bad habits are best prevented from developing in childhood.

There are many techniques for removing bad habits once they have become established. One good one is to go for between 21 and 28 days try as hard as possible not to give in to the habit then reward yourself at the end of it. Then try to go a week, if the habit remains repeat the process, this method is proven to have a high success rate.
