Hello friends good day to you all and thanks for stopping by today. Previously we talked about bad habits basics, the formation of bad habits, the risk involved in engaging in bad habits. Yeah. Today we want to talk about types of habits and how people develop bad habits.
Habits have two distinct types and they are:
. Behavioral Habits -- chewing hair, nail biting cracking knuckles are the common examples of bad behavioral habits. These habits are personal or to other people. These are best removed by altering your activity together or changing the bad one for a good one.
. Addictive Habits -- Liquor, smoking and drugs have a hold on the physical body, causing some uncomfortable feelings when the activity is stopped.
Now let's look at how people develop a bad habit.
Some people are clueless when it comes to different causes of bad habits. If you are one of them, you should start expanding your ideas. For additional help, here are the reasons why some people develop a bad habit.
. Engage in any specific behavior -- Habits are behavior that happens automatically, habitually and subconsciously. When engaging in a particular behavior with favorable outcomes, people tend to repeat that behavior.
. Reap the rewards -- Whether it is bad or good habits, it can be matter of opinion. Say for instance, smoking is considered as a bad habit. But some people say that smoking calms them down and that pushes them to smoke cigarettes everyday.
. Do it again -- Habits formation depends on reinforcement. Some people tend to do things that will lead to negative or positive reinforcement. Negative reinforcement is the removal of an unfavorable situation while positive reinforcement is the presentation of a favorable outcome.
. Do it again and again -- Even if bad habits can result in bad consequences, the quick gratification is what allows them to be kept. However, these habits will have to get done eventually and they will become more difficult task.
Though it is hard to get rid of bad habits, you don't need to worry about it. You just have to know what you need to do and where to begin. I think we have to stop here for today. Next we shall be looking at what you want to change and making a list of the benefits.
