A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work andthere is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.

First, look at why you do it. In other words, what's the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for a moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!

Next, take a look at them on the other hand. What do you lose because of your bad habits? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you lose the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep your bad habits! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.
