What exactly did you do last night when you brushed your toothbrush before going to bed? Did you need to control your behaviour to do this? Were you careful at all times not to insert the toothbrush into your eyes instead of your mouth? The role of habits in our lives is so great that if we forget this role, we should not hope for our other efforts. If we pay attention, we will realise that our lives are the result of our habits. But how do we break bad habits when it comes to habits? We must try to break bad habits to have a good life ahead. One of my friend named Rehan, 27, a national team weightlifter with a major complaint of pettiness. I have been working around the clock for about 2 years to participate in the world competitions that we have ahead of us. I did everything I could to win, and I am fighting for my goal. In addition to my professional workouts, I work hard to avoid any weight classification that will be done soon. But my problem is that I wake up every night at 2 to 3 o’clock and I have to eat something like biscuits, chocolate or chips. And after eating it, I suffer from a severe pang of conscience and take on the weight of stress. I am one kilo overweight right now, and due to the little time I have, I am very stressed that I will not lose weight. The problem is having a bad habit. Before giving the pain a general conclusion and giving a solution to quit the habit of eating junk food, it is better to answer this question: Do we need the habit or not? What habits are useful and what habits are harmful? What are the ways to quit the bad habit? Join us to answer these questions. What is a habit? Habit In Persian culture, Amid is interpreted as temperament or something that a person gets used to and does in time, temperament. Ibn Sina described it as a repetition of an action nearby that lasts a long time. From the point of view of contemporary psychologists, habit is defined in this way (a repetitive pattern of behavior or a kind of physiological problem that manifests itself in the form of an order and enhances the power of performance). The importance of the role of habit in successes and failures Consider smoking, you may smoke after a meal and do not imagine the harm it does to your body even for a moment. A cigarette may not seem like much harm in your whole life, but if you smoke a cigarette every day after a meal, you will eventually find that you do not smoke only after a meal, but before going to work, after work, lunchtime. You smoke before going to bed and so on. The essence of the habit is that it expands. The mind tends to create neural pathways to guide your life automatically. If your mind thinks something is pleasurable, it will lead you there. When a bad habit creates this pleasant habit in a person, the brain expands the bad habit so much that it dominates all aspects of one’s life. We must be able to break the habit and have a strong will in this life. How habits are formed in us Some basic habits are essential to success in life, but some are acquired, including areas of health and well-being, finances, relationships, work, time management skills, and goal setting. The core of successful habits is the habit of creating the habit itself. We are all a set of habits that are formed every day with little effort without our knowledge. For example, if we eat chocolate every day at about 3 pm, this activity becomes a habit. Just as it is difficult to break bad habits, it is easy to make habits. All you need to do is spend 5 to 10 minutes a day getting used to the habit. In this section, we will mention ten of the best habits of successful people. Daily goal setting, optimal time management, measuring and evaluating everything, spending wisely and rationally, self-discipline first, daily exercise, making the right choices to sleep well, daily thanksgiving, daily action The process of creating a new habit Good habits are hard to come by, but bad habits that have been with you for years are much harder to break. However, it is not impossible to eliminate it. The question is, how does a habit develop in the mind? Habits are on the rise. They are small at first and then grow. Pay attention to the knots of a rope. One part of the rope can consist of thousands of knots. Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl. They are strong enough to hold a ship by the shore, even in large storms. Habits are just as strong as these knots. Sometimes they are so strong that they do not disappear or come back after you have destroyed them. Why is it almost impossible to break bad habits and build good ones? Think again about the thickness of the same knot. Think of a time when you had no good or bad habits. Your habit becomes the first thing you do as if it were your first knot. What you do for the first time takes up a lot of space in your mind. For example, the first time you go to the club or school, you need to be mindful. The mind must be alert because it is not used to it. When a person smokes for the first time while his mind is not aware of it, the first roots of the habit are planted in it. Habit is the product of neural pathways that, over time, form like nodes, one after the other, eventually forming a habit that is almost impossible
