in a frequent manner. While the meaning of bad is defined as, you guessed

behavior. To truly change your own life, you must change or eliminate your
bad habits.

After recognizing these habits, you need to decide whether to continue doing it or to put an end to it. This is the area where you need to be responsible in doing the righteous thing to do which is deciding to embrace change.

Next is that you need to be resourceful. There are many methods to change your habits. These may be different among individuals in which has their own unique style of deceiving their minds into doing the less harmful or more beneficial habits instead of the bad ones. One method my friend used was substituting a lollipop for a cigarette. Note that this process may take a long time before your system totally accepts this change as our mindset itself is a process change. During these habit chaning times, some people may not be successful in keeping their enthusiasm for changes. Which now leads us to the final step?
Discipline is one the virtue that is hardest to do but the most vital part of the process that should be acquired. All prior effort would be a waste if there is no discipline within the person under going this process. There would be instances that you may not be able to follow those changes you hadset upon yourself. The important thing is how you could get back or change the methods you are taking. There are no guaranteed methods that your chosen process will suit your lifestyle. There are a lot to choose from and you just have to pick what's right for you.
Changing those bad habits into more desirable habits is no easy task. But if you are successful in doing so, in the long run you may achieve the life that you always wanted. And it all started when you decided to take acton and change your life and take steps to achieve the goal you have set.
