Additional Exercise for Review
If you have a habit that you would like to break, first try examining the reasons why you have this habit and determine the conditions or situations that trigger that response. Use this chart to keep a record of your behavior for one day. For instance, if you are trying to quit smoking, each time you light a cigarette, put a check in the habit column, record the time of day, and state your reason for wanting to smoke.

Habit		Time of day		Reason

Think of ways to modify your behavior to eliminate reasons for having your bad habit. For example, if you find that you do most of your smoking when you are nervous, try to find out what makes you nervous and avoid it. If you are serious about breaking, you can also ask a friend, family member or doctor for assistance.
