BREAK BAD HABITS

-

1

IDENTIFY YOUR BAD HABIT TRIGGERS When do you comfort eat or reach for a drink? What makes you stay up too late or lie in bed all day? By tracking why you do the things you do, you can make changes.

2

CREATE A BETTER HABIT – one that replaces the routine you don’t like. Have healthy fruit in your kitchen, not chocolate; opt for exercise over watching TV every night. The more you repeat the new behaviour, the faster a new habit develops.

3

DOWNLOAD THE DAYLIO JOURNAL APP It allows you to track your habits to stay on top of what you do and why. By promoting mindfulnes­s, the app helps you to change thoughts and behaviours. Free to download on IOS and Android; in-app purchases.
