If, however, it's because you think it's a stress reliever and you think that there's no either way to relax then try meditation. It works wonders! if you do it properly, that is :D

"You have bad habits, but it's impossible to break them."
Everything seems to be so difficult if you don't have the foundation meaning you don't know how it works. In this case, you also need to know how habits are formed in order to break them.
Habits are formed:
- Cue
- Routine
- Reward
