I recently had a conversation about bad habits with one of my good friends. In particular, we were talking about how bad habits influence our day-to-day decisions and how to identify and stop these behaviors before they get out of hand.
I have several downfalls but my top three are drinking wine, dating unsavory men and purchasing French handbags (not necessarily in that order). In an effort to be happier and healthier, I have put myself on an alert system. If I am feeling a pull toward a particular weakness I ask myself a series of questions to identify the trigger and, without fail, the behavior is always the symptom of a bigger problem.
Whether it is bad shopping habits, bad eating habits or bad dating habits the truth remains: if you can isolate the unwanted behavior, you can beat it. So turn that frown upside down. Replace emotionally charged shopping trips with exercise or quality time with a good friend. You will look better, feel better and live better. Now, if I can only find a way to fit my penchant for designer handbags into that matrix.
