Meditation for quitting a bad habit
When the urge to repeat a habit you’re trying to quit shows up, writing down what real need that habit is trying to meet — without judging it — helps you find, over time, a different way to meet that same need.
Sample session
The next time you feel the urge to do the habit you’re trying to quit, before acting on it, write a couple of lines: what’s happening right now, what you’re feeling, what you actually need in this moment — calm, distraction, company, a break? The habit has probably been, for a while, the fastest way to get that, not a failure of willpower. This isn’t an exercise to make you feel bad, but to better understand what function it serves, so you can gradually look for another way to meet that same need. You don’t have to solve it today — just naming it is already a step.
