hey.
i’m gonna borrow your example. if you know that whenever you see cookies you’ll grab them and eat them even though you resolved in your heart to never eat another cookie, then the best thing to do is to distance yourself from anywhere that cookies might pop up. as much as you prep yourself logically, when that plate of cookies shows up on the kitchen table, it’s hard to resist.
therefore, as much as possible you should try to remove yourself from the circumstances in which your habit-triggers may show up.
i wish i could take this advice too… i think that everyone has “bad habits” that must be conquered…
good luck!
