Bad Habits

Just saw an episode of 'My Strange Addiction' featuring a lady who's really into bodybuilding and a lady who constantly sucks her thumb. I'm not sure I'd consider their habits addictions, but it makes me think about the human drive, and our rationalizations for and against the habits we form. We're good at lying to ourselves about our habits we don't like because they are just so comforting and hard to undo. When we do come to terms with our bad habits, the unconscious mind clings to the habits while the conscious mind tries in vain to overcome them. I'm going to compile a list of habits I'd like to overcome ranked according to level of detriment to my life then do all I can to overcome the ones most detrimental to my life first and work my way down. I do suppose that being overly obsessed about breaking bad habits can be a bad habit in itself if the obsession becomes a compulsion to be nearly perfect and free of bad habits. Moderation!
