Class hour on the topic: “Especially dangerous bad habits. How to resist them? How to resist bad habits


“It’s easy to quit smoking, I’ve done it myself more than once,” Mark Twain once admitted. Well, if so great person boldly admits his shortcomings, then we should really think about how to get rid of bad habits and create instead useful rules your behavior.

Non-drinkers and non-smokers, do not relax, please! In addition to these bad habits, bordering on vice, there are many, many others in the arsenal of Homo sapiens:

  • be late always and everywhere,
  • make impossible promises
  • slander about acquaintances and friends,
  • borrow money and have difficulty paying it back,
  • go to bed late,
  • biting your nails and pencil tip,
  • eat up at night
  • constantly straightening clothes and straightening even perfectly styled hair,
  • crack your knuckles,
  • Never clean up your dishes after eating.
Enough or continue? This list can be endless, and everyone is able to add many more new lines to it. It's been a while since you started on Monday new life? Let's try again and develop an algorithm for how to deal with bad habits and quit them for sure.

Change your thoughts

Remember the statement about the nature of devastation by Professor Preobrazhensky from Bulgakov’s “Heart of a Dog”? He quite rightly believed that “the devastation is in our heads.” All this applies to bad habits. Only you and no one else first created them, and then ask how to wean yourself from certain things that interfere with you and create problems.

Take responsibility for those habits of yours that you consider harmful. No one forces a cigarette into your mouth or puts a match to it. “I’m stressed, tired, and a cigarette helps me relax, so I can’t quit smoking,” you can say in your defense. How do millions of non-smokers save themselves in such a situation? What helps them, or are they cut from a different cloth?

Since habit refers to automated actions, it turns out that automatism can take over you and almost subjugate your behavior. Having understood this, you experience a strange feeling of liberation from invisible shackles, from gaining freedom. Awareness of responsibility helps to resist them, these negative automatisms and stereotypes of one’s behavior.

Pros and cons

How to give up bad habits if you don’t see the need for it? In order to gain strength in this struggle, we need a powerful incentive, as in every, even the smallest, act that we have to perform. Decide what habit you are going to take up and make a list in which you weigh the pros and cons of this habit.


Let's look at this tactic using the example of such a bad habit as the tendency to go to bed late.

Arguments for":

  • you can finish those things that you always don’t have time to do on time;
  • there is an opportunity to watch an interesting film, read;
  • everyone at home is asleep, and no one will interfere with your quiet browsing on the Internet;
  • Mmmm... I don’t even know what else to say in favor of this habit.
Arguments against":
  • when chronically going to bed after 23.00, the brain is exhausted, the nervous system, this command center of the entire body, receives constant overstrain;
  • female beauty fades, body tissues, its cells are not restored and age rapidly;
  • the body cannot avoid overwork, it loses the ability to self-heal;
  • in order to resist fatigue, this sign of an upcoming crisis for the body, it begins to store fat as a reserve source of energy;
  • weakens the immune system, not receiving proteins produced during sleep;
Weigh what is more important to you: the immediate benefits of maintaining the habit or the long-term ones Negative consequences, which can be avoided if you wean yourself off it.

Don't get carried away and don't despair

Don't try to confront all your bad habits at once. Choose one thing to start with, work according to the “small to large” principle, or choose what bothers you the most.

Success in this difficult task will spur your efforts and help you feel a second wind. On average, it can take anywhere from 21 to 45 days to break a pattern, so don’t beat yourself up if things don’t work out right away.

Observe yourself and find an alternative to irritants

Awareness of your behavior and your actions will tell you how to get rid of bad habits. Try to determine what irritants might have prompted you to manifest the habit and try to resist them.

They became bored, worried, tired, did not know what to do with the minutes of waiting, for company - such arguments could be given by those who are struggling with such a bad habit as smoking.

If you have identified your irritants, try to counteract them with replacements:

  • tired - learn relaxation techniques,
  • bored - find something to occupy your head and hands,
  • were worried - say positive statements () about how confident you are;
  • for company - imagine this company by your bed in oncology department where they treat lung cancer.
Hard? A strong stimulus must be replaced with an even stronger one, this is the most effective technique replacements. In order to wean yourself from a bad habit, you can try to develop a conditioned reflex to it, creating with your own hands negative emotion.

Remember the experiment with the dog of the physiologist I. Pavlov? It is suggested that you repeat something similar in order to quit a bad habit.

To do this, you need to put a fairly thick elastic band on your wrist. As soon as you feel like you are about to become a slave to a bad habit, snap your wrist with a rubber band. Thoughts and sensations that push you towards negative actions will now be associated with mild pain and discomfort, which will easily help you resist them.

Deviation from the rules requires retribution

Another technique will help those who do not know how to deal with bad habits. Come up with a kind of ransom for deviation from the intended line of behavior. For example, for the habit of cracking your knuckles, force yourself to sit down ten times, or wash dishes for all family members all day, or come up with some other unpleasant activity.

This technique helped me get rid of the bad habit of judging other people. In order to quit this habit, I wanted to try the esoteric “Purple Bracelet” technique. There it was necessary to change a special bracelet from hand to hand purple in every case of slander. There was nowhere to buy it right away, but I wanted to try to remake myself as soon as possible.

The role of the purple bracelet was taken over by a silver bracelet with a very complex lock. It took a lot of effort to open it. On the first day, the bracelet moved from hand to hand twenty times. I couldn’t give it up, because the word given to myself is the most strong word, so on the second day the bracelet was unfastened only three times, and on the third day - not once.

About a year has passed since then, and since then I no longer judge anyone. To consolidate the habit, the beautiful little thing showed off on my hand for some time, but now the bracelet was unfastened for a different reason.

When thinking about how to deal with bad habits, how to quit them once and for all, how not to give them a single chance to come back, you need to turn to own thoughts and beliefs. Only they can guide human actions on this difficult path.

Main part. Guys, you all know that the most important need of every person is modern society is to strengthen and maintain health, wellness and mood, high performance, creative longevity.

Question: What factors do you think influence our health? (Children's answers)

One of the most effective and available funds satisfying this need is maintaining a healthy lifestyle, giving up bad habits.

A habit is something we consistently repeat day after day, as opposed to our mistakes, which we learn from.

Habits can be harmful, bad, unreasonable and sometimes dangerous. The first habits take their origins from childhood. The most unpleasant thing in our life is bad habits We know. That they are bad, and often we can’t do anything about ourselves - we’re used to it!

What is a bad habit? ( guys give the concept of “bad habit”)

A bad habit is an action that is automatically repeated many times, and this action is harmful from the point of view of the public good, others or the health of the person himself who has fallen under the bondage of the bad habit.

Bad habits can be unhelpful or downright harmful. Such automatic actions occur due to weakness of will. If a person cannot show the willpower to take a progressive action, then he falls under the force of habit, which returns him to the old rut, the habitual action.

A habitual action is a habit. But, on the one hand, there are good, useful habits and manners and, on the other hand, there are bad or harmful habits.

We can name useful habits such as:

    maintain a daily routine,

    brush your teeth every day

    eat right, etc.

Proper implementation of the regime, alternating physical activity and rest are necessary. They improve performance, discipline a person, and strengthen his health.

A bad habit can be considered a disease or pathological addiction. But along with bad habits, there are unhelpful actions that cannot be considered as a disease, but which arise due to imbalance nervous system.

Here is just a small list of bad habits that interfere with our lives and sometimes create conflicts.

Let's characterize some of them.

Alcoholism– the most common bad habit, often turns into serious illness characterized by a morbid addiction to alcohol ( ethyl alcohol), with mental and physical dependence on it, accompanied by systematic consumption alcoholic drinks despite the negative consequences.

Question: Why is drunkenness harmful? (Children's answers: has a detrimental effect on the brain; speech becomes unclear, incomprehensible; uneven gait; waking up after taking large dose alcohol, a person experiences fatigue, weakness, lethargy, lack of appetite, dry mouth and increased thirst; decreased performance, etc.) Drunkenness leads to car accidents, crimes, and industrial accidents.

Addiction– chronic progressive (development of the disease with increasing symptoms) disease caused by the use of drug substances.

Different drugs cause different addictions. Some drugs are highly addictive psychologically but not physically addictive. Others, on the contrary, cause strong physical dependence. Many drugs cause both physical and psychological dependence.

There is a distinction between positive attachment - taking a drug to achieve a pleasant effect (euphoria, feeling of cheerfulness, high mood) and negative attachment - taking a drug in order to get rid of tension and feeling unwell. Physical dependence means painful and even painful sensations, painful condition during a break in constant reception drugs (so-called withdrawal syndrome, withdrawal). These sensations can be temporarily relieved by resuming drug use.

Smoking- inhalation of drug smoke, mainly plant origin smoldering in the flow of inhaled air in order to saturate the body with the substances contained in them active substances by their sublimation and subsequent absorption in the lungs and respiratory tract.

Question. Why do people try smoking? (Children’s answers: for company, they want to seem like adults, etc.)

Gambling addiction - hypothesized form psychological dependence, manifested in an obsessive passion for video games and computer games, as well as gambling addiction - a pathological addiction to gambling consists of frequent repeated episodes of participation in gambling, which dominate a person’s life and lead to a decrease in social, professional, material and family values, such a person does not pay due attention to his responsibilities in these areas.

TV addiction. Television has become the most common way of escaping from oneself into a world of illusions. It has entered the life of almost everyone modern man, became a familiar companion in his life.

According to statistics, on average, each person spends about 3 hours a day in front of the TV. This represents about half of his free time and about 9 years of everyone's lives.

Internet addiction - mental disorder, obsessive desire connect to the Internet and painful inability Disconnect from the Internet in time. Internet addiction is a widely discussed issue, but its status is still at an unofficial level

The main 6 types of Internet addiction are:

1. Obsessive web surfing - endless travel on the World Wide Web, searching for information.

2. Addiction to virtual communication and virtual dating - large volumes of correspondence, constant participation in chats, web forums, redundancy of acquaintances and friends on the Internet.

3. Gaming addiction - an obsessive passion for playing computer games over the network.

5. Addiction to watching movies via the Internet, when the patient can spend the whole day in front of the screen without stopping due to the fact that you can watch almost any movie or program online.

Question: Do you have any addictions: television, internet, gaming? (children's answers)

Habit of biting nails. Science still doesn't know what causes people to bite their nails. Although there are many theories trying to explain why people bite their nails: from thoughtfulness to tension. One of the most common theories is that the habit of biting nails is caused by stress. They chew to relax, they chew to help them think better, they chew when they are nervous.

Technomania. The desire to constantly update existing phones, computers, televisions and household appliances, to buy newer and more improved models. The constant need to purchase new phone models is not uncommon. As a rule, this is justified by several new functions, updated menu design, etc. The same applies to other technology. This addiction has also become a disease that leads to depression, nervous disorders in the event that there is no financial or any other opportunity to purchase the desired item.

Question: What bad habits do you have and how do you fight them? ( take turns naming their bad habits)

The most important thing is to try to find the reasons for this habit.

If you have already decided to give up bad habits, under no circumstances give yourself any concessions.

Fighting bad habits is something that almost every person should do (we are all, alas, imperfect). Let's outline the basic principles of getting rid of unproductive patterns of behavior.

Wean yourself off

    Motivate yourself

    Organize yourself

    Motivate others to organize you (find yourself a “shepherd”)

Wean others off

    or wean him off altogether so that he doesn’t do this anywhere and never,

    so that he doesn’t do something near you.

At the same time, it’s one thing to wean strangers, another thing to wean your loved ones, while weaning your children is different than weaning your parents.

After all, human health is a vital value; it consists of many interconnected components. What is possible and what is not possible to maintain your health?

    Exercise

    Breathe fresh air

    Get enough sleep

    Smile more often

    To love life

    Eat fish, vegetables, fruits more often

    Drink water, milk, juices, tea

    Walk as much as possible

    Help others

    Stay home

    Play computer games

    Use alcohol, drugs

    Watch TV for hours

    Be irritable

    Be sad, angry, offended

    Overeat

  1. Staying up late and getting up late

Practical part. Write down your habits, both bad and good, on pieces of paper. Good habits should be written on green pieces of paper, bad habits on red pieces of paper.

Then crumple up the sheets with bad habits and throw them in the trash.

This is how we take the first step in breaking habits.

Test "Can you resist"

Will you be able to fight back against these bad habits or will you succumb to their onslaught? Now we will conduct a test that will help you assess your strength.

There are pieces of paper in front of you. You need to answer 10 questions. Write the numbers from 1 to 10 from top to bottom. I will ask you questions. You must answer “yes” or “no” to each question. You need to answer honestly, otherwise you won’t learn anything about yourself.

1. Do you like to watch TV?

2. Did you like to play computer games? games more than 3 hours a day

3. Have you ever wanted to try smoking?

4. Can you spend the whole day off in front of the TV, leaving all your work?

5. Have you ever wanted to try alcoholic drinks?

6. Do you like physical education lessons?

7. If your friends offer you to run away from class, will you agree?

8. Do you know how to learn from your mistakes (not repeat them)

9. If a stranger offered you a box of chocolates right on the street, would you take it?

10. Friends invite you to play outside, but you haven’t done your homework yet. You can refuse

Now count how many times you answered “Yes”, write down the result

You said yes

No more than 3 times: You know how to manage your desires. You have a strong will and strong character. You know how to refuse pleasure if it can cause harm, interfere with your plans, your relationships with parents and teachers.

4 to 8 times: You are not always able to cope with your desires. There is not enough willpower, because of this you can become dependent on a bad habit.

9 to 10 times: It’s time to think about it. It is very difficult for you to cope with your desires. You are irresistibly drawn to pleasure. You need to evaluate your actions and learn to tell yourself no.

Training “Be able to say “No”

Tell me, what does independence mean when we talk about bad habits?

Independence also manifests itself in the fact that you can recognize and fight back those people who want to force you to try alcohol, cigarettes and even drugs.

Tell me, does the person who puts cheese in a mousetrap like mice? For

Why is he wasting cheese on them? He would put it next to the mink and leave them alone, but he puts the cheese in the mousetrap. The mouse begins to feast on it when the door is already slammed shut. And we know what they do with the trapped mice. How can we protect ourselves from this and not become mice for the producers of tobacco, alcohol and drugs?

There can only be one answer: you need to learn to speak... (no)

Let's come up with ways to say no, but just like in the famous game of "yes, no" not to say, come up with a phrase that explains that you don't need it.

· This is not for me

· Health is more important to me

· There are better hobbies

· I better book I read it

· Never

Summarizing.

Do you think we should have talked about our habits?

Now let's all stand in a circle. Let's pass on the ball and create our own network of good habits into which we will lure people. Everyone names 1 thing, an activity that will help us not fall into the slavery of bad habits, in order to unravel, tell us what you will take for yourself.

Try to follow this health plan and you'll be on your way long years preserve youth and beauty. Every person should take care of their health. After all, no one can take care of you better than you.

How to deal with habits, and more specifically, how to deal with bad habits? There are three points to consider. The reason that caused the habit. It’s just a familiar repetition. And the feelings of guilt and shame that an unwanted habit generates.

How to deal with bad habits through the cause

Any bad habit has its reason. Usually it's stress or boredom.

Almost all bad habits begin to form when I feel anxious, nervous, and insecure. That is, stress.

This includes smoking, alcohol, and overeating. The habit of biting your nails or biting your lips is also a reaction to stress. The habit of checking your email or messages every 5 minutes in social networks– this is also from anxiety.

When I have nothing to occupy myself with, when I’m bored, I also start doing something just to occupy my time. Eat. Drink. Smoking. Go shopping. Play computer games. Watch TV series.

It can be cute fun at first. But after a few months, you can notice that this is already a habit, turning into an addiction.

If this habit doesn’t bother you, then God be with it. Each habit has its own benefit - it helps cope with boredom or stress. And if this happens safely for health and psyche, then okay, let this sweet habit be in my life.

But if this is already turning into an addiction, into a disease, if the habit is already taking me into slavery, if this is already on the agenda, how important question: how to fight habits, you need to do something about it.

To be honest, I don't really like the way the question is posed. I don't want to fight habits. The struggle does not bring results. There is no need to fight bad habits. But you can negotiate with them and transform them.

So, first you need to understand the reason that causes the habit and find a replacement. How can I relieve myself of stress and anxiety? Through sports, learning, communicating with people, walking... How can I relieve myself of boredom? Through doing something interesting, self-development, helping other people...

That is, it is important to find some useful or safe action which will help me get rid of stress and boredom. And get rid of stress and boredom not with the help of unwanted habits, but with the help of these new useful actions.

For example, instead of eating a couple of cakes to reduce anxiety, you can go outside and walk for 20-30 minutes. And the stress will go away, it will be good for your health, and your vigor will increase.

How to fight bad habits through habitual repetition

Even when I found the reasons for the habit and selected some safe or useful substitute To get rid of stress and boredom, the usual mechanical repetition still remains.

I start to get a little worried and my hand reaches to my mouth to bite my nails. Someone is annoying and I already feel how painfully I bite my lips. I haven’t smoked for several weeks now, but as soon as I start talking on the phone, I automatically look for a pack of cigarettes to light up.

Yes, this is both the strength and the death of habit. The fact is that she already lives on her own, automatically.

To gradually remove this habitual repetition, it is important to simply become aware of it. Pay attention to this. Oh, he started biting his nails again. But don’t blame yourself, just pay attention to it. Mentally. Oh, I'm biting my lip again.

Habit works on an unconscious level. The subconscious is responsible for her actions. As soon as I begin to pay attention to this, that is, I begin to realize it, then I can already manage it.

A good substitute for the stress response is to take deep breaths. As soon as you want to smoke, or bite your nails, or do something else that you are used to reacting to anxiety, start breathing slowly and deeply. Helps a lot.

How to deal with bad habits through guilt and shame

Behind most bad habits is low self-esteem. Behind most bad habits there is a feeling of guilt or shame.

Therefore, the first step towards getting rid of bad habits is to raise your self-esteem and forgive yourself.

And the magnificent free 7-day course by Professor, Doctor of Science Anatoly Sergeevich Donskoy "Feel the energy of thought"

"Tasks class hour 1. The ability to clearly formulate arguments against bad habits 2. The ability to resist peer pressure...”

Class hour "How to defeat the dragon,

or stay away from a bad habit"

The class hour is dedicated to the prevention of bad habits. During adolescence

Peer influence becomes extremely important. According to the psychologist,

The need for the approval of comrades most often arises and pushes a teenager to

experiments with alcohol, drugs, toxic substances.

Currently, the prevention of bad habits in adolescents is aimed at

to make them interested in their own personality, as well as to teach them to resist peer pressure.

Goals: to deepen children’s understanding of bad habits, to promote a negative attitude towards tobacco, alcohol, drug addiction, to encourage resistance to bad habits.

Classroom objectives

1. The ability to clearly formulate arguments against bad habits

2. Ability to resist peer pressure Preparatory work

1. Invite parents who are doctors or assign students to the role of doctors. Task:

characterize bad habits.

2. Draw a six-headed dragon. Write the name of the bad habit on each head.

3. Prepare white coats for the role of a doctor Class hour progress Classroom teacher: What would you guys do if you came across a dragon with six heads?

The children answer that they would run away and shoot the dragon... But imagine that there are people who would happily climb straight into the dragon’s mouth. Some people think that they will be able to jump out of the dragon's mouth, but it turns out that they overestimated their strength and will die.



And here is the portrait of this monster:

Substance abuse Drug addiction Smoking Alcohol Gambling addiction Foul language Every head is a bad habit that turns into a deadly one dangerous disease. We asked doctors to talk about these bad habits. (Told by doctors - parents or students in the role of doctors, in white coats).

I. Information block “Doctors about bad habits”

Substance abuse Doctor 1 It’s not just harmful, but also very dangerous habits. "Mania" is mental illness when a person constantly thinks about one thing. A drug addict constantly thinks about poison. “Substance addiction” is translated from Latin as “mania for poison.” Toxin means poison.

It becomes addictive very quickly. Changes occur in the psyche, but most importantly, health is destroyed, as poisons gradually accumulate in the body.

Drug addiction Doctor 2 Drugs are an even more serious poison; they are designed for teenagers who, having become accustomed to them, will not be able to live without them and will pay a lot of money to die as quickly as possible. Drug addiction acts with its poisons strongly and quickly - literally from the first time a person can become a drug addict! A person experiences hallucinations and nightmares. A drug addict is ready to commit any crime for the sake of drugs. Drug addicts have three options: prison, mental hospital, death.

–  –  –

Doctor 1 Drunkenness very quickly develops into mania - alcoholism. Alcohol is the most common drug that kills people. An alcoholic is indifferent to the opinions of others, he loses his human appearance and becomes a slave to his habit.

A huge number of crimes are committed due to drunkenness, families are destroyed, destinies are ruined.

Smoking Doctor 2 Smoking is an addiction to a drug – nicotine. A smoker shortens his life by 6 years. Tobacco contains 1200 toxic substances. For smokers bad memory, unstable psyche. Their skin withers faster, their voice hoarses, and their teeth turn yellow.

Gambling addiction Doctor 1 This bad habit begins harmlessly - slot machines, computer games, cards, roulette. Or it can end in mental destruction, crime, even murder. Gambling addiction spares neither children nor adults.

Foul language Doctor 2 Today you can often meet people who do not swear, but speak obscenely.

It is harmful not only to speak, but also to listen to swear words. Scientists have found that swear words affect a person’s genes, destroying his children and grandchildren.

II. Interactive conversation “What pushes people into the dragon’s mouth”

Classroom teacher:

What habit can appear the first time? (Drug addiction) What bad habit brings about the program of self-destruction of human descendants?

(Profanity) What bad habit causes 25 diseases? (Smoking) What bad habits destroy the body? (Substance abuse, drug addiction, smoking, alcoholism) What bad habits begin with innocent fun and end with poverty, illness and death?

(Substance abuse, drug addiction, smoking, alcoholism) Why do you think people fall into the dragon’s mouth? Why do they become slaves to bad habits?

Sample answers from children:

They are drawn by curiosity Their parents were slaves to the same habits If the whole company does it, then you want it too To seem “cool”

To show that you are already an adult You are not interested in anything anymore Because you are weak-willed - I get into a company and do like everyone else

Classroom teacher:

Yes, scientists have named these very reasons for people becoming addicted to bad habits:

weak character, environmental influence, stress relief, curiosity. But most people don’t smoke or drink. What do you need to do to resist?

Sample answers from children:

You need to play sports, music, dance Achieve success Appreciate your human dignity Have your own opinion, don’t give in bad influence You need to be able to refuse when you are offered to try something bad. Choose friends, communicate with those you trust.

III. Test "Can you resist?"

Classroom teacher:

Do you think you can fight back against these bad habits and resist their onslaught? Answer 10 questions. Each question must be answered “Yes” or “No”.

1. Do you like to watch TV?

2. Would you like to play computer games for more than 3 hours every day?

3. Have you ever wanted to try smoking?

4. Can you sit in front of the TV all day off, leaving all your business behind?

5. Have you tried alcoholic drinks?

6. Do you like physical education lessons?

7. If your friends offer you to run away from class, will you agree?

8. Do you know how not to repeat your mistakes?

9. If a stranger offered you a box of chocolates on the street, would you take it?

10. Friends invite you to play slot machines, but you haven’t done your homework yet. Can you refuse?

Count how many times you answered “yes” and “no.” Each answer is worth 5 points, so multiply the result by 5. What do you get?

0-15 points – you know how to manage your desires. You like to have fun, but right moment you are able to understand that pleasure can interfere with your plans. It turns out that if someone offers you to “indulge” in some “rubbish”, you will easily refuse. You have ahead interesting life, full of real pleasures.

20-40 points – your “pleasure zone” often lets you down. You strive for immediate pleasure. Because of this, you can lose a lot of pleasant things in the future. If they offer you a little buzz, you'll take it. Unfortunately, this is exactly how most drug addicts started out. We recommend being careful – the price of dubious pleasure may be too expensive.

40-50 points - as they say, you can be taken with bare hands. You are infected to receive all sorts of pleasures. For any kind of “high” you are ready to give yourself into slavery. There are not so many weaklings like you. You are in trouble.

IV. Situations “Learn to say no”

The presenter suggests different situations when children are offered to try alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs. You need to refuse, and you need to do it without saying the word “no.” You can conduct the training in pairs.

Instructions:

The main thing is to understand that they want to force you to do something that you did not intend to do. With your hands they want to achieve a dirty goal, or drag you into a business that brings benefit to someone. You have to answer: “Yes, it’s weak for me!” They will start making fun of you: “Apparently, you are still a mama’s boy!” answer: “Yes, I’m still mommy’s and daddy’s.” Sometimes they may say: “Are you a fool if you refuse such a profitable business?”

At this moment you need to think: “Why is he so concerned about my benefit?” And answer “Yes, I’m such a fool that I don’t accept your offer.” Remember, the fabulous Ivandurak was not at all embarrassed that everyone called him that, but he always won and defeated everyone!

Don’t be afraid to look not smart enough Don’t be afraid to look not brave enough Don’t be afraid to look not mature enough Don’t be afraid to look not independent enough Be afraid of becoming a victim of a drug infection and turning into a puppet of drug dealers V. Game “Yes, no, I don’t know”

Useful tips

Most often, bad habits begin to form in childhood, when the child copies the actions of his parents.

Therefore, we can say that in order to rid a child of bad habits, you need to start with yourself.

However, if we are talking not only about children, but also about adults, then it is worth noting that there is no clear answer to the question of how to get rid of bad habits. However, there are several universal methods.

It's never too late to give up your bad habits and start living a healthier, happier life.


Rejection of bad habits

First you should know important steps to get rid of bad habits

We are all familiar with bad habits such as smoking or alcohol, and we will talk about them in detail below. But you should also know that stubbornness, pride and shyness are also harmful and need to be worked on, especially if you suffer from serious bad habits such as smoking, gambling, and others.

How to deal with them:

1. Conquer your inner critic.

The very first thing to do is to understand that no one is perfect, and you must accept your imperfections. The critic inside you often prevents you from moving forward, making you feel guilty.

Try to make a list of those things in which you are not perfect: jealousy, envy, greed. Consider all your bad habits, such as picking your nose, grumbling, and others.

Now listen to what your inner critic. He will tell you that you are imperfect in many things, that you don’t know how to do much and will never learn anything new, will never achieve your goal, that everything is too difficult or even impossible.

It will take 5-10 minutes to listen to all this, but you need to think about it all and, when all this negativity is over, tear up your list.

2. Be prepared for a difficult and long journey.



You won't be able to get rid of bad habits overnight. Get ready for a long journey that will last at least 3 months. You will have several difficult days, but you need to persevere, and when all these days pass, you will begin to think very well about yourself, your self-esteem will increase and self-respect will appear from the fact that you were able to comply with the regime.

There is one interesting technique, the idea of ​​which is that if you really want to return to your previous regime and stop struggling with addiction, tell yourself: “Okay, I’ll do that, only tomorrow,” and when tomorrow comes, repeat to yourself again the same. You can save for several months, and during this time you can easily develop a useful habit.

3. Don't forget about rewards.



When you are in the middle of your journey of getting rid of bad habits, prepare yourself various rewards. The brain motivates various rewards. For example, you might say to yourself, “If these pants fit me, I’ll buy myself new shoes.”

4. Avoid triggers.

There are certain things that turn on the mechanisms of bad habits. Let's say if you are a shopaholic, then it is better to stay away from shopping centers, and if you like to drink often, do not go near the shelves with alcohol in the store, and also avoid bars.

You can even come up with a protective phrase for yourself that begins with “If... then...”. For example: “If I notice a bar nearby, I’ll go to the opposite side of the street” or “If I want to eat a cake, I’ll eat a couple of vegetables.”

Let your brain know what to do if a bad habit starts creeping up.

5. Avoid those who encourage you to engage in bad habits.

There are people who invite you for a smoke break, treat you to alcohol when you don’t want it, or provoke you to show aggression.

A piece of paper and a pen may help. Just list all the advantages that will appear when you stop communicating with such people.

6. Don't be shy to ask for help.



7. Be persistent and stubborn in a good way.

You shouldn’t criticize yourself after making a mistake; in the end, everyone makes mistakes. Try to prepare yourself for a fall in advance, work on yourself, improve yourself. All the useful skills that you learned earlier will not go anywhere, they will remain in your head so that you can use them in the future.

There is no need to give up, the main thing is to believe in yourself and understand that you are capable of much.

8. Find a foothold for yourself.



You need strong motivation that will constantly remind you why you need to get rid of a bad habit.

You can find such a point in your family, for example, or work.

9. Stick to your action plan.

Make a plan for yourself and strictly follow it to get rid of a bad habit, or at least reduce its “dose”. If we are talking about alcohol, then try to drink not 100 g of alcoholic beverage, but half, then reduce it to 30 g, and then stop drinking altogether.

10. Find a hobby that excites you.

This could be sports, creating something beautiful and useful, devoting oneself to the development of children, and so on.

* Try to learn as much as possible about your bad habit. It is important for you to know what it can lead to and how to get rid of it.

* If we're talking about about children, then to rid them (or prevent them from developing) bad habits, show them films and videos on the desired topic, show them what happens to the lungs of a smoker, to the liver of an alcoholic, or to the body and head of a drug addict. Thematic conversations with specialists (doctors, psychologists) can also help.
