Bad habit

A bad habit is a negative behaviour pattern. Common examples include procrastination, fidgeting, overspending, and nail-biting.

Development

It is not a misconception that it takes on average 66 days to break a habit. The amount of time it takes to break a habit is generally between 18 and 254 days. This should often be repeated once or maybe twice depending on what the habit is, something small like chewing fingernail should only have to be done once. larger habits like smoking should be repeated at twice but every one is different so it could be less.

Will and intention

A key factor in distinguishing a bad habit from an addiction or mental disease is the element of willpower. If a person still seems to have control over the behavior then it is just a habit. Good intentions are able to override the negative effect of bad habits but their effect seems to be independent and additive the bad habits remain but are subdued rather than cancelled.

Prevention

The best time to correct a bad habit is immediately, before it becomes established. So, bad habits are best prevented from developing in childhood.

    Bad Habit

    by: Offspring

    Hey man you know I'm really okay
    The gun in my hand will tell you the same
    But when I'm in my car
    Don't give me no crap
    Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
    When I go driving I stay in my lane
    But getting cut off it makes me insane
    I open the glove box
    Reach inside
    I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
    I guess I got a bad habit
    Of blowin' away
    Yeah I got a bad habit
    And it ain't goin' away Yeah
    Well they say the road is a dangerous place
    If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
    If you drive on my ass
    Your foot's on the gas
    And your next breath is your last
    Drivers are rude
    Such attitudes
    But when i show my peace
    Complaints cease
    Something's odd
    I Feel like I'm god
    You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker
    I open the glove box
    Reach inside
    I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
