Here are ten ways to stop yourself from doing something you know you shouldn't:
1. **Identify your triggers.** What are the things that make you want to do the thing you're trying to stop? Once you know your triggers, you can start to avoid them.
2. **Have a plan.** When you're feeling tempted, it's important to have a plan in place for how you're going to resist. This could include things like calling a friend, going for a walk, or doing some deep breathing exercises.
3. **Remove temptation.** If possible, try to remove the things that tempt you from your environment. This could mean getting rid of certain foods, putting away your credit cards, or deleting certain apps from your phone.
4. **Distract yourself.** When you're feeling tempted, try to distract yourself with something else. This could mean reading a book, watching a movie, or going for a walk.
5. **Change your routine.** If you're always doing the same thing when you're tempted, it's going to be harder to resist. Try to change your routine so that you're not in the same situation where you're likely to give in.
6. **Talk to someone.** If you're struggling to stop yourself from doing something, it can be helpful to talk to someone about it. This could be a friend, family member, therapist, or anyone else you trust.
7. **Set goals.** Having goals to work towards can help you stay motivated. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
8. **Reward yourself.** When you reach a goal, give yourself a small reward. This will help you stay on track and motivated.
9. **Be patient.** It takes time to change habits. Don't get discouraged if you slip up. Just pick yourself up and keep going.
10. **Don't give up.** The most important thing is to never give up. If you keep trying, you will eventually succeed.
Remember, change takes time and effort. Don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up. Just pick yourself up and keep going. With time and effort, you can overcome any obstacle.
