Here are a few techniques that i have used to change many of my bad habits successfully:-

Commitment

Commitment is most important in any activity especially when changing bad habits. I have found that it often helps to publicise your commitment to change. Ways of doing this can be to tell this to your friends / family, publishing it on your blog and online forums. Once an announcement is made sending out a daily email update on your progress helps build your commitment strongly. The more you excert public pressure the more effective ti becomes.

1. Ambitious people become slaves to work, and the resultant stress can cause serious health problems.

2. Worrying about problems which are beyond your control only increases your stress. Stress is the greatest enemy of the body. Leave everything to God.

3. Rich diet is only for those who toil with their body and not with their brain. If you work with brain eat light food.

Going to bed on time and getting up on time both have a powerful effect on your meditation. The focus here is getting to bed on time. Why? If you stay up too late,  chances are you’ll sleep in the next morning. Even if you do manage to roll out of bed on time, you’ll be contemplating your fatigue instead of your mantra.

Even if meditation is not your goal, routinely staying up past your optimal bed time will leave you feeling chronically run-down. As Jerry Seinfeld put it, “Morning Man pays for the sins of Night Man.” It’s not so much a matter of how much sleep you get as when you get it.
