Full responsibility for your actions. You are the king or queen of your actions - no one is responsible for them except you. When you are behind the driver's seat after three drinks too much, that is your decision. In some cases, it may be more practical than taking a bus or calling a taxi, but that is still your decision. Whether you want it or not, you have your own decision at some point.

Realizing that you are fully responsible for your actions can make you feel overwhelmed or even paralyzed at first. You begin to realize that each of your actions has an impact, and that the reaction is very different from what you imagined when you acted in the first place. This is a scary thought.

But in the end, fully responsible for your empowering actions. You are the maker of your own destiny. In certain norms, no one else can tell you what to do. Full responsibility for your actions gives you freedom. You begin to understand how habits can become metaphorical chains, and how to break them can free you.

Start observing the consequences and benefits of your habits. Make a list of simple pros / con about what your habits give. Try cruelly, be honest with yourself. You can do it. The following is a list of pros / con, for example, smoking:

Start weighing short-term rewards with long-term consequences. Usually, we justify habits that we know are bad because we value disproportionately short-term rewards for long-term effects. And that is because we cannot see long-term effects - they are far in the future, difficult to judge, sometimes uncertain. It's much easier to see and feel short-term benefits.

For example, maybe you are a breakfast skipper. You try to lose weight, so you convince yourself to do it. In the short term, you can lose a few pounds and feel better about your body. But in the long run, the weight is likely to return (because you are not dieting properly), and you are planting seeds of eating disorders.

Keep breaking one habit at a time. You may feel empowered by your decision to overcome all your bad behavior - and that's good! But don't put the train in front of the horse. Stick to one habit first. Trying to stop all your bad habits at once can be very heavy; it's better to take your time and solve one forever than to rush through the process and finally get rid of no bad habits.

Don't take small setbacks too seriously. If you fall from a cart and accidentally enjoy your bad habits, don't give up all hope. Calm yourself back and get back on track. Small setbacks will occur - pretending that they will not only be dishonest with yourself. Instead, learn from your setbacks and try to ensure that they won't happen again.
