Each day is a brand new opportunity to make the changes to life that we all want.  Many of us struggle with bad habits that we wish we could change.  

Two popular methods that are used is the cold turkey method or the phase it out method. Both can be effective but both also could be counter productive.

 It all depends on what personality type we are.  Some of us cannot do things in moderation because of compulsive behavior.  It’s the all or nothing mentality that these people need drastic actions in life. They either binge or completely disregard the situation. 

This method may not work for the other type of people who do things in moderation. They are able to control themselves. They allow themselves to have a taste of certain things but rarely over indulge.  The problem here is self control and self discipline require a lot of focus and conscious behavior.  And since we only use our conscious mind about 10% of the time, it becomes very exhausting micro managing ourselves. 

The main point here is just to start making the changes.  Forget about who you are or who you were or where you are in life or what age and focus on what YOU WANT and what you have to do to get to where you want to be.
