In order to let go of a bad habit it is important to have the desire to change. If other people are wanting you to give up or let go, but you have no interest, then wait until you have the need or would like to change. It is only when you are inspired and have the desire that you can start to prepare to let go of a bad habit.
Perhaps bad eating habits are making you ill, but the taste of those delicious chocolate eclairs bulging with cream are too good to even contemplate giving up, so you would rather suffer feeling sick and enjoy wading your way through several eclairs at a time.
Maybe you have just been diagnosed with an illness, perhaps diabetes and you go into “Poor Me” mode, completely unable to look at changes that will make your life a lot easier.
By asking yourself what habits you could change will help you to have a desire to let go of bad habits and replace them with good ones.
On being told I had some syndrome which meant I was likely to get diabetes, I immediately looked at my way of life and took appropriate action to change my eating habits and to take specific exercise that would help to put me back in tip top condition.
Happily, there is now no evidence at all of any diabetes or predisposition to it in my system.
It is amazing how the thought of possible daily injections quickly inspired my desire to let go of chips and chocolate and develop a good habit of having a choice of healthy foods ready for me to nibble or even have an extra meal.
