3. Have an alternative option
A habit leaves behind a hole, so we need something to fill it with. We need to start creating a new, healthier habit that will distract us and allow us to let go of the bad habit as well.
For example, if you always smoke when you are stressed, what can you do instead? You might meditate or drink a soothing cup of tea, or do something else that will be better for your health. Come up with an alternative habit that is better for your well-being and that can easily be used when you need it.
