Beating bad habits
Everyone is proud of his/her self-control. From the very childhood we are taught how to control our wishes and desires. There is not any doubt that our parents and teachers are trying to do the best for us in order to make us the successful members of a society. Whatever it is, but sometimes the best intentions result into the worse habits. For example, you give a candy to an anxious child. When he/she grows, he/she tries to replace any stress or worrying with eating chocolate. It is the simplest example of the bad habits which are to be changed, if it really disturbs you and prevents you to run the chosen lifestyle.
Mostly, the habits are started in the very childhood under influence of the current circumstances, but sometimes the habits are assumed. Again, the reasons are your lifestyle and peculiarities of your character.
I see that some people are the real collectors of the different habits. Perhaps, such people are too sensitive, too emotional, and too open. They absorb every event and every action as though it is the most important issue in their life. Some people are so thick-skinned, so, it is hard to suggest them something. But it does not mean that weaker people can not change their worse habits into the good ones and become stronger, more successful and less disposed to the bad habits.
Sometimes people feel really embarrasses and confused about their habits which prevent them to live. For example, the most kids overcome this funny habit like nail biting. Another case is when an adult person starts biting during a very important negotiation. Especially, it seems to be funny if such a person is a top manager or a department chief. It discovers inner tense of a person. They say that it is better to prevent anxiety than to worry about it.
Another bad habit is inability to tell "no". You might be the best friend and the mildest co-worker, but you know that you have a family you would like to spend time with, or you wish to relax during the weekend instead of replacing a missed colleague...
The cases are endless. And complaining is useless here. No matter who or what the reason of your troubles is, but now you are the only person who wishes to change your life to the best. You are the only person, who is interested in the positive outcome of the business negotiations, a happy family life, relaxing weekends, easy way of life, at least.
