Your bad habit, which you like to change but unsuccessful?

Dear vine88, I also have a bad habit that when sleep is difficult to wake up.

I have about 5 to 10 bad habits: talking too much, not listening to others, interrupting, forgetting to brush my teeth twice a day, staying up all night without proper sleep, not resting when I am sick, etc. None of these habits I have been able to rid myself of. However, one bad habit I had was keeping my fingers far away from the keys on my saxophone. I couldn't play any faster, because of finger speed, and the fact that I lifted my fingers too far from the keys and going back down took longer. I tried various plans, but I couldn't figure out what I could do to resolve this. One day my instructor told me to put a rubber band around my saxophone preventing my fingers from lifting too far. I kept it there and slowly I learned by pain and sores to lift my fingers just enough to make the sound proper but allow for quick note changing. I know this may sound like a geeky bad habit, but now I don't have it.

I think what would i really want to change is how i spend money, because i know i don't spend it wisely, even a single peso if i like something i would really like to buy it. What do costly me to spend is just food. Not really into buying unnecessary things. Even i just finish eating and when i see something that I want and like to eat, even i just finish eating something, I would really take a peso out of my pocket to buy that. Sometimes I try to control myself but sometimes the wantness of that food would always prevail.

To me, probably the bad habit is spending money without good control. I really need a financial plan for myself.

Hi vine, One thing that I really want to change myself is do not know how to talk habit. Not only to the strangers but to my immediate family too. I always lost of idea on what to say next. There is always a long pause if my talk partner stop talking. Usually I only say a little. I prefer to listen to others and say something that I think is important. BUT, this thing does not apply online. I can say much much more here especially when we talk about football (soccer). I think my hand work faster then my mouth.

I had a bad habit that sometime i'm a stubborn person!when i want to do something and others people say it's not a good thing to do,i would still do it and ignore their advice!and i think it's hard to change...

My bad habit is not listening....doesn't matter who is talking, half of the time, I'm not listening. Which frusterates me some times...especially when I ask a question, but can't be bothered to listen for the answer. I suck.

hi vine my worst bad habit that I do have trouble trying to change, is eating sweet stuff that I know will shoot up my blood sugar. I know chocolate chip cookies are a no no, and pieces of gooey sweet pie are taboo, and knowing this, why cannot I just say no thanks. instead I eat the stuff then suffer high blood sugar, which is dangerous to my health and I know it too. So maybe its just a matter of having trouble saying, No I cannot eat that, Sometimes I can do it, I can say nothanks, I am a diabetic. So there is hope for me yet.

that's not good, vine. later on, you will find that nobody wants to listen to you anymore. better take up to teaching and take all the time you have talking, never allowing your students to answer. well, for me, i am exactly your opposite. i like to listen, simple listen. i don't open my mouth unless asked to. if that's not good, then...

hmmm am always late in most of my appointmment, my problem anyway, still trying to be early now :-)

Nervousness is a kind of weird habit that has resisted me from getting my best.Catch me on a podium to give a speech or jutting over the exam paper or even with a girl asking to walk along with her,all you find rolled eye,stiff neck and trembling legs and mumbling and jumbling words and a feat of anger at home fighting with the inner self for not able to make it according to my otherwise potential dignity!!

hi! yes, I have tried but without any success! I have tried to change my habit to eat a lot at supper and to not to eat that fast , because it is not healthy and eating a lot on supper is also harmful. but no matter how hard I try, i never have to do it successfully just because I love to eat :)

I have a very bad habit of loving. I love all the girls. I don't want do so. I want to make all of them my sister. But I love a woman she is my true love. I want to go far from my love. But I always unsuccessful.

Hello I am a professor, after teaching for so many years, i have acquired the habit of telling,'do you understand;you got my point? etc Just donot know if it is good or bad, some times i tell this to my wife and kids.. Thank you so much for this nice discussion, cheers God bless you. Prof

I have a nagging habit that went away for a few years, but is now back from time to time. Biting my fingernails is a bad habit I carry. Especially when I am really thinking about something, I tend to bite my nails even more. I even sometimes bite on the skin on my finger. I have really improved on that habit though. Now my nails grow to long because I am improving more and more each day on this nasty habit.
