Breaking a habit is hard work, but what if your efforts to eliminate a bad habit are actually making it stronger? Many people focus solely on stopping the behavior, thinking that if they can just quit, the problem will go away. However, this approach often overlooks the underlying forces that drive the habit in the first place.
Unfortunately, the primary approach to behavioral change is to focus fully on stopping the troubling behavior, an effort that most often fails. The Danger of Focusing Only on Behavior... if you can just stop the behavior, you'll be free from its grip. However, this approach is often too simplistic.
