--Tips for Changing Your Own Bad Habits--

• Don't believe the old saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." You can break a bad habit if you really want to.

• Share your feelings about the annoying behaviors with your spouse. Stick to "I feel..." statements.


• Include your spouse as you brainstorm solutions to your bad habits.


• Many people find that replacing a bad habit with a positive behavior is easier than just stopping the bad habit.


• Don't try to change more than one irritating habit at a time.


• Share your personal goals and expectations with your mate.


• Share with your mate that you need support and affirmation, not criticism or nagging.


• Don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up now and then. But don't give up either or coninually make excuses for not achieving your goal.


• Talk with your spouse about how to reward yourself for quitting a nasty habit. Keep the reward reasonable and achievable both from a monetary and a time perspective. (c) источник
