It is often more effective to replace a #BadHabit with a #healthy alternative rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Your #body and #mind crave a specific satisfaction, and simply removing the #habit leaves a void that can lead to relapse. instead: identify what need the habit fulfills. whether it is sugar, stress relief, or social connection and find a positive activity that fills that same gap. This approach applies to everything from #addiction and #mentalhealth to physical #fitness

To Break a Bad Habit and Create a New One, Neuroscience Says Just Make One Simple Change

Don't try to interrupt a bad habit. Instead, give in... and then think about how you feel about what you're doing.

@thezerobit I find myself sometimes in similar situation with "map" & "generator" objects …

mapped = map( lambda x:x, [] )
if mapped:
print( 'map value is ok')
else:
print( 'map value is bad')

def make(): yield None

print( 'iter value is',
'ok' if make() else 'bad'
)

# Printed …
# map value is ok
# iter value is ok

… need to materialize them to have the intended test to work.

Ought to break the #badHabit of testing plainer objects ("list", "set", "dict") as is.
