Replace your bad habits

We all have habits we don’t like. It’s far easier to replace a habit than to get rid of it.

The theory is quite easy: Define the habit you want to change and then set an action to replace it with. Every time you want to do the “bad” thing, you immediately do the healthier thing.

Actually replacing your habits will be a bit more difficult: You’ll have to be quite mindful and present in your day to notice yourself doing/wanting to do the bad habit. Doing the healthier thing will also require a lot of willpower, since bad habits often are the ones that feel good in the moment.

Some replacement habit ideas:

Listen to a song that gives you courage

Drink some water

Do a few squats

Dance for a bit

Find an inspiring picture for your vision board

Walk around (a walk outside is a bit too long to use as replacement every time but would be a nice thing to use here and there)

Clean something

Read a page of a book

Watch a short inspiring/funny video

Talk to a loved one

Journal

Make sure to choose a replacement habit that isn’t too similar to the habit you want to change! If you want to stop scrolling on your phone so much, don’t choose youtube as replacement. If you want to stop weighing yourself or quit obsessing over weight loss, don’t choose squats as replacement and so on.

Also don’t add moral value to these habits. I used words like “bad” and “good” because it’s the simplest way to word things, but please realise that having habits you don’t want doesn’t make you a bad person. Not doing things deemed “right” is okay and normal and it’s okay to fail here and there during your journey. It’s important to try again!

📝 Make a list of your goals on the first of each month, and keep it close to your desk to stay on track every day.
