Habit Reversal Procedures - Logging Your Progress

Part of successful habit reversal is documenting the process. Create a Daily Progress Log for yourself. Make notes every day on the following:

Day/Time

Type of Urge(s) Felt

Possible Trigger(s)

How You Are Feeling

What your Strategy is to Combat the urge(s)

What You Did

What you could have done instead

How you Felt Afterwards

You need to keep track of when you are both successful and not successful in combating your habit.

The strategy part is essential for success… Try to identify all the potential triggers and feelings that might come up to make you want to employ your habit and have some specific ideas about what you will do to overwrite the old patterns… For instance when you feel like touching your face, you will get up out of your seat and do a few jumping jacks!

Don't forget to reward yourself for a job well done. Buy yourself a box of gold stars and every time you are successful in combating the urge, give yourself a gold star for that time.
