How to Overcome the Habit
People are being paradoxical. We know about the dangers of smoking but still continue to smoke and smoking, thereby destroying their lungs. We know also that excessive drinking is killing our livers but still eat. We know that this second dish of potatoes with the chops just had an extra, but still ate it. We know but do nothing. The implications of this knowledge but not doing can be severely compromised. And a lot of examples. So we arranged that our habits keep us but do not understand why so hard to get rid of them. It is our subconscious or unconscious as it is called. It tells us that we have not changed anything, or worse. For now, it’s as good why did that then change it. But consciousness is outraged as well because I know exactly what these habits are harmful and should be discarded them as useless rubbish. We are a constant battle of consciousness and subconsciousness. Most wins in which the subconscious. But why? All because of reinforcement of our habits.
After having tried their first cigarette you do not understand what does it matter that can be fun, and why is it so many people smoke? But in the company of their peers, you understand that not having tried a cigarette you will feel yourself a coward. And if you smoke it you will show that you too have an adult and can specify their own what to do. So having received the approval of their smoking peers you continue to smoke because you now have something else in common with them.
The same situation with alcohol tasted it for the first time, you also do not understand how it all you can drink? But gradually experiencing alcohol intoxication and drunken fun in the company you want this again and again.
This situation applies not only positive reinforcement and understanding that you managed to avoid what is terrible and very important. Having suffered at the same time relieved you do so, and more. For example you have a need to fly an airplane but taking with him a newspaper and read it you will know what happened next plane crash. Then you take for a decision because you can go and train so secure. And since you have already laid the habit of fear of flying. But sooner or later you will need to submit a business trip by plane. You started a fever, the pulse quickens, blood pressure rises, you start to sweat and feel the fear of falling.
And so, sooner or later, you can lose your job because of fear of flight in an airplane.
But how can we win their bad habits and fears? The answer is simple habit to win a habit. For example you are a novice who has decided to take a sport. And now having read fashion magazines for bodybuilders you choose for yourself 10 -15 exercises and begin to do them. By the end of the workout you just fall off his hands on his legs and any movement is difficult, and the next day it gets worse. But collecting their will in a fist, you continue to attend training and torture himself but soon you have formed a negative attitude to sport and physical activity. This error should not be done so much exercise at first. Better not to finish than overtrain. And here’s your workout came to an end here and need something to back themselves than the pleasant. For example, you can stand in the shower and feel like there comes a pleasant relaxation. Or for example to drink a glass of sweet cocktails. In general, choose for yourself what you like and do it immediately after your workout. An important element is precisely the time reinforcements after agree phrase such as: Dear you look great yesterday, will have a less dramatic effect than to say yesterday.
In this way, positive or negative reinforcement you can get rid of bad habits or buy a new useful and want to help you change your future life, or at least improve it for the better.
