Wellbeing coach reveals foolproof method to break bad habits, tested in 2024

Breaking a bad habit can be challenging, but replacing it with a healthier alternative can make the process easier. Margaret Moore, CEO of Wellcoaches Corporation, explains that motivation plays a key role in habit change. Some people are motivated by avoiding negative consequences, while others need something better to replace their habits. CNBC Make It staff members share their plans to give up certain habits and the alternatives they will adopt. These include drinking less alcohol and substituting it with cannabis edibles or non-alcoholic beverages, giving up soda and coffee for water or tea, and not giving up certain habits like watching TikTok or eating sweets. Moore advises focusing on changing what you want to change instead of feeling bad about the habits you plan to keep.
