How to stop or break a habit

In my case nail-biting is a problem when I was a child I start to bite all hand nail fingers when the nail is completed I go to my leg fingers one time my mother hit me on my head and said don’t by nice after few months I never bite due to fear of my mother after few months I cant able to buy my leg nails it’s too difficult for me at the same time my and nails are gone because whenever I see a movie or listen to any interesting story or do deep thinking that time automatically nails come to my mouth I start to bite automatically I can’t able to control until my age twenty then I decided to stop this habit and I do some research about nail biting that time I realize many people affected by this problem in my surrounding circle many of them have this terrible habits I can’t get a suggestion to recover the problem cause many of them affected by the same problem so I do research read and watch many books and videos about habits then I found how the habits work how to break that.

Inhabit chain, there are three stages first one is trigger second one responds and the third one is the reward

1)Trigger

2)Response

3)Reward

It is the process as well as the good and bad habits in good habit process is very difficult to do but bad habits it’s effortless, so bad habits are very quickly to catch up our brain, so we simply addicted to some bad habits

When I know this I decided to stop triggering off my nail-biting habit so I cut my nail up to me finger flesh so I can’t bite that at the same time I use transparent nail polish because it has a bad smell when I put a finger near to my mouth that time that bad smell will move the fingers to my mouth immediately this is how I stop triggering when the first processes did not happen automatically next process does not happen in my case

You can also stop triggering your habit you can able to stop your bad habits like me for example if you drink too much coffee first you find which one is the trigger of your habit for example coffee smell or when your friends drink coffee in front of you that time you tried to avoid them are avoid the place

When you got the urge to drink coffee that time you order Apple juice or any other liquid item that is the alternate way of avoiding coffee and think about what are the disadvantages are bad things happened by doing the bad habit in my case I was bitten nail it was cause many health issues like diarrhoea fever cold and extra so I think about the disadvantages of that habit this thinking it helps to avoid the habit this is the secret has worked for me it also works for you.
