Life Lessons from Guthrie #1

Sidetracking a habit is different from breaking a habit.
It can be accomplished by avoiding the cues that elicit the undesirable behavior.
If you have accumulated a large number of behavioral patterns that are not effective or for other reasons cause concern and anxiety, the best thing to do is leave the situation altogether. He advised going to a different environment because it gives on a fresh start - one does not have many behavioral associations in a new environment and can feel capable of developing new behavior patterns.
