Nearly all of us have an unpleasant habit,
whether we realize it or not, and we want to get rid of it but didn’t know the
proper ways. Here’s some advice on how to get rid of bad habits.
n Make a list. Write down all the reasons
why you want to stop a certain behavior----how it’s hurting you and why getting
rid of it will help. Look at that list regularly.
n Join other
activities. ② It’s wise of you to do something
else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you
get angry easily, for example, you can practice deep breathing or go for a
walk.
n Give yourself a
reward. Before you get
rid of a bad habit, decide what you’ll do to celebrate it if you achieve your
goal.
n Keep off bad
habits. If
you are fat and want to lose weight, keep junk food(垃圾食品) out of your house. If you are a

over years, so you probably won’t be able to get rid of them quickly. In fact,
people often give up several times before being successful, so you should ① ___________ ___________.
n Find support. Don’t be afraid to ask for
support from friends, family or other people who have the same bad habits as
you. When you talk to others, they might be able to give you some advice or
encouragement that you normally wouldn’t get from yourself.
