5 Tips for Breaking Bad Habits and Forming Positive Habits

When it comes to replacing bad habits with positive ones, there are a variety of different approaches you can take. Some methods might be more effective than others depending on your situation and goals, but here are just a few examples to get you started:

5 Tips For Breaking Bad Habits

1. Set specific, measurable goals and track your progress. Whether you want to include cannabis in your yoga/meditation routine, eat healthier, or exercise more consistently, having concrete goals and tracking your progress can help keep you motivated and on track.
2. Use positive reinforcement to reinforce the behaviors you want to see. For example, if you achieved a small goal you have set for yourself treat yourself to something else that is good for you. Let’s say you finished your work instead of procrastinating, take time to get some exercise or go for a walk. You earned leisure time, and you deserve fresh air and exercise.
3. Find an accountability partner or group who will help support and motivate you along the way. Whether it’s joining a group fitness class or finding a friend who is also trying to form positive habits, having someone else to cheer you on and help keep you accountable can be a great way to stay on track.
4. Change your environment and routine in small, manageable ways that are easy to stick with. For example, try switching out your regular coffee for an iced matcha latte, or start taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work. Making simple changes like these can help make your new habits more manageable and easier to stick with over time.
5. Be patient, persistent, and consistent in your efforts. It may take some trial and error to find the approach that works best for you, but with time and practice, you will be able to cultivate positive habits that last for the long term.
