Breaking A Bad Habit

Hi! It's Zoe. Today I'd like to talk about bad habits. I for one bite my fingernails and I want to change this habit. I asked a couple people what their bad habits are. One said leaving a mess everywhere and the other said biting their nails like me. Here is how I think we can change our bad habits.

If I leave a mess everywhere I go, I think maybe I could clean while I play. If I play with my toys in my room, or do a creative activity I could clean up the mess right then instead of leaving it there and let it build up. That would be a good way to keep a clean room. However, that might be easier when I think of it than doing it. But, if I keep a chart where I put a star for cleaning my room on it and after four stars I get to earn more play time, that would be a good way to keep my room clean.

Many people bite their nails. It's a common bad habit. It's also very unclean to bite your nails. Luckily, people invented a nail-biting stopper. You put it on your nails like nail polish and when you bite your nails it tastes horrible! It's so bad tasting soon you will stop biting your nails. I did for a long while, but then I stopped using the polish and now I'm back to biting my nails. I have asked my parents to buy the polish again so that I can start using it. I suggest that if you bite your nails, you could ask your mommy or daddy to buy you some.

There are many good habits too. Getting used to saying "Thank you." or "Please" is a good habit. Drinking water instead of soda when you are thirsty would be another good habit. Brushing your teeth, going to bed without arguing, eating your fruit and vegetables are all great habits to have. Sometimes it's easier to focus on the good habits rather than the bad ones. It's just that bad habits are just that, bad and need attention too.

I know it's not easy to work on the things we want to change, but I think to myself that if I work on the things I want to change it will get easier over time. It's just like practicing to do something well. Practice makes perfect. I want to practice on stopping my bad habits. If you have a habit you want to share with me I'd like to hear from you. Bye!
