I have proven to have enough self-control to make several big improvements, for example, my diet no longer includes certain junk foods. On the other hand, I still have some bad habits which need to change ASAP. How do you create good habits and break bad ones, what actually works?
Changing a habit needs some time, we cannot say that we can change our habit very fast because it also takes time. As I can say a habit can be made because we have done the tasks several times again and again and thus we call it our habit. But first, we have done it many times. Now how could that habit change faster even if we didn't make it that fast?
As smoking was my bad habit. As I started to change myself in a way before I was smoking about 5 cigarettes per day. Then I started to make it less for about 3-4 then gradually after some days it came to 2. Spending the time with it I go for 1. Now I didn't some at all and had left the habit. The Slowly but surely habit can change it we have the will to change it.
