4 Bad Habits You Can Kick Without Going Cold-Turkey

Let’s face it: everyone has bad habits. The trouble is, many folks don’t know the best ways of kicking those bad habits. At least, not without going cold-turkey. As you can imagine, such an approach doesn’t work for everyone and dramatically increases the chances of relapsing.

But, did you know there some bad habits you can remove from your life by moving straight onto healthier alternatives? Take a look at these four examples of bad habits you can kick without going cold-turkey today:

1. Smoking

There’s no denying that it’s actually getting harder and more expensive to be a smoker these days. You’re not allowed to smoke in many public places compared to say ten years ago. And the cost of buying even ‘cheap brand’ cigarettes has become prohibitively expensive.

Giving up smoking isn’t a case of just quitting one day. At least, not for the majority of smokers. A better idea is to consider vaping instead. The cost (and health) benefits are too numerous to list. Plus, your clothes won’t stink of tobacco after vaping!

If you’re new to vaping, it might be worth considering an Aspire BP60 kit or similar. Also, don’t forget that you can get various different flavours of vape liquid. What’s stopping you from moving over to vaping from cigarette smoking today?

2. Binge Eating

It’s a sad fact of life that stress causes a lot of people to binge-eat each day. As you can imagine, binge eating causes all sorts of health problems, particularly in later life, and it’s also an expensive habit to maintain.

While the answer is to eat healthily and have regular exercise, you should first tackle the reasons for your binge eating. If stress is the leading factor in your food addiction, it makes sense to seek professional help with that first before you change your diet.

3. Drinking Alcohol

The odd alcoholic beverage or two on special occasions won’t potentially cause permanent damage to your body. However, if your daily routine involves consuming several cans, glasses, or even bottles of beer or wine each day, it’s time for a change.

Cutting down the amount of alcohol you consume each day is a good first start. But, did you know you can take other steps to eventually quit drinking alcohol? For example, you could switch to non-alcoholic beers, wines, and spirits.

Another example is to consume “light” versions of your preferred alcoholic drinks - ones that have a low alcoholic content.

4. Watching TV

The humble TV is a common sight in virtually all homes across the nation. However, the trouble is some people spend too much time watching television each day.

As a result, it negatively impacts areas of their life such as mental and physical health, and learning and development. The simple answer to cutting down on your TV time is to replace some of that time with alternative activities.

Socially meeting with friends, joining a club, or even the simple act of reading a book are great ways to substitute your TV time.
