Activity 2: Discuss why some of the habits above are good for you and why some are bad for you.
* Example:
“I think staying up late is not good since it makes me feel tired the next morning .”
“I think never giving up is good because it gives you determination and courage.”
Activity 3: Read the advice. Do you think you could follow it?
The good thing about bad habits is you can kick them!
Here are five tricks to get rid of bad habits and replace them with healthy ones.
Make a list. Write down all your bad habits. Next, write another list of good habits that you could swap for those naughty habits.
Shake up your routine. Habits are often routine-based, so changing your daily routine slightly can sometimes be enough to rid yourself of bad habits.
Pretend the habit belongs to someone else! We’re great at giving advice but not so at taking it.
Surround yourself with people who’ve kicked similar habits. Hang out with people who have already given up their bad habits. They will inspire good habits in you.
Think about how you’ll feel when you kick the habits. Imagine the benefits you will have when you get rid of the habits.
Good luck!
Activity 4: Choose one bad habit. Make a list of Dos and Don’ts in order to kick that habit.
* Example: How to kick “staying up late”
