The first thing you have to do is – try to understand or know the origin of the habit. Like when do you feel like taking a cup of tea? Maybe it could be when you are alone, when you get angry, depressed or when you go to the kitchen or it could when you hang out with your friends.

Second step: Try to divert the thoughts (Here what I mean by that – Let’s say you're suddenly feeling like you’ve to take tea but you don’t want to take because it is harming your health. During this time, try to divert the mind towards game/ crosswords/ Music during this period.

Fourth Step: (Affirmation)

Say to yourself –‘Yes, I can get rid of any bad habit’ –Yes –I can overcome it. Do it four to five times or more before you wake up from the bed and before you go to bed.
