The real secret to breaking any bad habit is breaking bad, bad loops. This is called positive cargo. For instance, when I catch myself devouring an entire carton of ice cream, I immediately pause and engage in a positive habit, like drinking a glass of water or doing a set of push-ups or jumping jacks. By emphasizing and celebrating the positive habit, I gradually replace the negative loop with a positive one. This technique, rooted in neuroscience and neuroplasticity, helps me intercept the bad habit even before it takes hold.
