Everyone struggles with bad habits, and after a while, bad habits are difficult to break. At first, bad habits may be small, like chewing your nails, or other small habits many people have, but some bad habits are more significant and are difficult to break. 

Although habits feel difficult to break at first, there are many things to do that can help break these bad habits.

Breaking a bad habit for some can be as easy as practicing self-discipline, but for some, it can take a lot more. One way to stop a bad habit is to know what negative emotions may trigger a bad habit and try your best to avoid these situations. If avoiding certain situations is not possible then being able to cope with these situations in different ways is a good way to stop doing these things. Another way is to try stopping what may turn into a bad habit before it becomes one. If signs of a possible unhealthy habit become repetitive then try replacing the habit with a good one. 

A lot of people want to quit their unhealthy habits, but feel like they can not stop doing them. Break a bad habit by rewarding yourself with small goals. This way it is less likely to seem overwhelming to quit the bad habit. Having one big goal may cause stress for some people and seem like an undoable job but when there are multiple small ones to work towards it seems less overwhelming and difficult to stop doing these bad habits. 

Quitting a bad habit can also be more achievable by changing the environment you are in. That can mean different things to different people. Some people may need to be around different people when trying to break unhealthy habits and some may not. Figuring out why the bad habit needs to be broken and why the bad habit started is another way to stop the bad habit. 

Quitting a bad habit may seem unachievable at first. but surrounding yourself with the right people and identifying why a bad habit needs to be broken are good first steps to breaking the habit. Do not feel discouraged when the habit is not broken immediately because it probably will not be and it does not mean that quitting the habit is not doable.
