[[:encoded, "The most critical exercise in beginning the process of breaking a bad habit is looking at what is the payoff and what is the cost?\n\nLet’s look at alcohol abuse: ask yourself “what do I gain by having 5 or 6 drinks every night when I get home from work?” Of course, the answer is easy.\n\nFor you it might be, “A drink or two relaxes me”, “I have time to think about the day’s events”, or “I can forget about the stresses of the day, my pain in the butt employees or clients I had to deal with today”. “I just need to unwind a little.”\n\nThen, you must honestly answer this question: “But what is it costing me?”\n\nThe answer may be less time with your spouse and family because you aren’t fully present for them (as you are trying to forget the events of the day and to unwind), a monumental hangover in the morning, alcohol may make you cranky and moody, or in a worse-case scenario, you may become abusive and hostile. What is it doing to our organs and you physically, that you won’t realize until years later? \n\nOnce you’ve assessed the positive and negative impact the bad habit plays in your life, it’s time to begin an action plan to break whatever bad habits you might have (and some you don’t even realize you have). Over the next 10 days we will explore 10 tips to help you break those bad habits.\n\nTune in tomorrow for Tip #1 to Help You Break Bad Habits. \n\nIf you get value from these Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short review.
