贾德森．布鲁尔: 一个简单的方式戒掉坏习惯

一个简单的方式戒掉坏习惯

我们可以藉由对坏习惯的好奇，进而戒掉它们吗？心理学者贾德森．布鲁尔（Judson Brewer）研究冥想与嗜瘾两者的关系--从抽烟到暴饮暴食，以至到其他那些--我们明明知道有害却又照做的事情。多了解习惯的形成机制，就会发现到一个简单而有效的方法，在你下回犯烟瘾、想吃零食或开车想回覆讯息的时候，它可能可以帮助你戒掉这些不好的习惯。

Habits like smoking and overeating are reinforced by deep, evolution-driven reward loops that can override logic and self-control, especially during stress. In one study, mindfulness training proved twice as effective as standard therapy for quitting smoking. By getting genuinely curious about cravings instead of fighting them, people move from intellectual knowledge to visceral understanding, which weakens old habits. This approach helps people step out of automatic loops and form healthier behaviors over time.
