10. Use “But”
A prominent therapist once told me this great technique for changing bad thought patterns.
When you start to think negative thoughts, use the word “but” to interrupt it.
“I’m no good at this, but, if I work at it I might get better later.”

11. Remove Temptation
Restructure your environment so it won’t tempt you in the first thirty days.
Remove junk food from your house, cancel your cable subscription, throw out the cigarettes so you won’t need to struggle with willpower later.

12. Associate With Role Models
Spend more time with people who model the change you want to mirror.
A recent study found that having an obese friend indicated you were more likely to become fat.
You become what you spend time around.

13. Run it as an Experiment
Withhold judgment until after a month has past and use it as an experiment in behavior.
Experiments can’t fail, they just have different results so it will give you a different perspective on changing your habit.

14. Swish – A technique from NLP
1⃣Visualize yourself performing the bad habit.
2⃣Next visualize yourself pushing aside the bad habit and performing an alternative.
3⃣Finally, end that sequence with an image of yourself in a highly positive state.

15. Write it Down
A piece of paper with a resolution on it isn’t that important. Writing that resolution is.
Writing makes your ideas more clear and focuses you on your end result.

16. Know the Benefits
Familiarize yourself with the benefits of making a change.
Get books that show the benefits of regular exercise. Notice any changes in energy levels after you take on a new diet. Imagine getting better grades after improving your study habits.

17. Know the Pain
You should also be aware of the consequences.
Exposing yourself to realistic information about the downsides of not making a change will give you added motivation.

18. Do it For Yourself
There is no need to worry about all the things you "should" do to make a change.
Instead tool your habits towards your goals and the things that motivate you. Weak guilt and empty resolutions aren’t enough.
