Rejection of bad habits
Abandonment of bad habits will be most effective when a person wants to completely abandon his addiction. So, there are eight ways to get rid of this. We list only a part for the reason, half of these methods are negative, the rest are positive.

- Development of incompatible behavior. A positive method. For example, if you still can not quit smoking, then the next time you want to delay, you start sucking a candy. After a while, your hand will drag not behind a cigarette, but behind a candy.
- Linking a bad habit to a conditional signal. The name of the method may not seem clear to everyone, but the essence is not at all complicated.

Then you give yourself a 10-minute break, during which you remember all the unpleasant things in detail and start worrying. Remember that the habit is developed in 21 days, which means that after this period your anxiety will become less and less. You will be convinced that if it is boring to do this on the command of your body, then without it, it makes no sense to experience anxiety.
