For many of us, when we want to break a bad habit, we treat it as an all or nothing endeavor. We go cold turkey; oftentimes not considering why we developed the habit in the first place.

Example: If you find yourself not able to stop after one piece of chocolate, examine what else that chocolate is providing you. Besides delicious taste, many people use chocolate to soothe an unpleasant emotion.

Solution: Enjoy one piece of chocolate and then find some other way to nurture yourself: a short phone call to a good friend, a luxurious bath, or maybe even a quick nap.
