Why it’s impossible to stop a bad habit (almost): Nature abhors a vacuum #selfimprovement

Do you have a bad habit or addiction that’s troubling you?
I have no experience with alcoholism or drug addiction, but I do with mobile games like Candy Crush, so let’s use that as a metaphor for a destructive habit. And learning apps like Duolingo as a metaphor for a beneficial or good habit.

Conquer Cravings with Games: Ditch Candy Crush, Master a Language!
Do you ever feel chained to a bad habit, like a Level 5,000 Candy Crush bender? Instead of feeling bad, let's hack your brain with a fun challenge!
Instead of trying to quit cold turkey, swap that "frivolous fun" for beneficial games like Duolingo or Khan Academy. Turn your love of puzzles into language mastery, music theory wizardry or math genius!

Remember, nature hates emptiness. Removing a bad habit without replacing it just leaves a void your brain tries to fill. That’s why stopping a bad habit feels almost impossible. So, channel your dopamine craving towards a positive learning adventure!
Think of it like this: instead of exerting giant willpower to STOP Candy Crush, use a little discipline to PLAY Duolingo instead.
Now you’ve become a multilingual master.

Now, think of your bad habit as Candy Crush, and your replacement good habit as Duolingo. ✨

One reason bad habits stick is because we haven't identified a compelling replacement. Don't leave a vacuum! Fill it with something awesome!
