Habits are incredibly powerful ☀
First, your habits are incredibly powerful. When you are in an environment that supports a habit, you end up carrying out that habit without thinking. If you are interested in habit change, then, you need to become aware of your environment to help stop yourself from behaving mindlessly.
Second, habits are specific to the actions you take. An easy way to help yourself change habits is to find a way to block the actions you normally perform. Just switching hands was enough to get people who eat popcorn regularly to eat less of the stale popcorn.
