Have you ever asked yourself if you can get rid of your bad habits? The good news is yes, you can! It’s entirely possible to quit smoking, binge eating, biting your fingernails, whatever it may be, but will everyone succeed? Of course not. First, you must have a strong desire to stop the habit and know the correct path that you have to take in order to achieve this.

There is one powerful factor that can affect your ability to quit. You have to convince your subconscious mind to give it up, because one of the main reasons people are not motivated when it comes to stopping a pattern is that they fail to convince themselves of their goals, and how they will feel better if they quit such a habit.

According to yogic thinking, it takes just 40 days to change, add, or quit a habit, and your mind needs this time to retrain the mental process and nervous system. 

One last thing to battle is not to judge yourself for not acting better. Every time you make a mistake, tell yourself that we all slip up every now and then, and making a mistake doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you human.
