The science of bad habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Judson Brewer explains<\/a> science behind bad habits and why they can be so hard to break. We aren\u2019t just talking about academic patterns we\u2019ve gotten into; this science applies to habits from smoking to social media obsessions. He states that our brains are constantly hit with stimuli that make us want more and more. This can make it really difficult to quit these bad habits- they\u2019re designed to make us keep going back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, self-control and stopping cold turkey is enough to quit something addictive or shape better habits. However, this strategy definitely doesn\u2019t work for everyone. If you find yourself having a hard time breaking bad study habits, check out our tips to stop them once and for all so you can practice Spanish with mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write down your bad study habits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s right- in order to face your bad habits, you need to know what they are. If you sit down to start studying and then 2 minutes later you\u2019re on social media, write that down. In addition, Dr. Brewer recommends writing down what you get from that time on social media. Record what you think and feel. His findings show that most people, when they see it all written down, don\u2019t actually enjoy the results from their bad habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find a better solution by encouraging curiosity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve addressed the bad habit and see what you realistically get out of participating in it, it\u2019s time to find something new. As you\u2019ve probably experienced, it\u2019s hard to replace something that doesn\u2019t quite satisfy your craving or desire in the same way. That\u2019s why Dr. Brewer recommends using what sparks your curiosity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, if you\u2019re trying to break the addiction of scrolling social media when you\u2019re trying to study, flashcards aren\u2019t enticing. Rote memorization drills won\u2019t give your brain the same satisfaction as your previous habits. Therefore, to increase mindfulness while practicing Spanish, do something that sparks your creativity and curiosity. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
