Vacuum sucks
..."Stop creating vacuums in your life.
If you just stop doing something, like for instance eating junk food and candy you create a vacuum in your life.
And yes, it is possible to do that and to just stop. But I have found that it becomes a lot easier to make that change stick if you replace your old habit with a new and more positive one. By doing so you fill out the empty space you created and so you are less likely to get sucked back into the old and familiar habit.
For instance, if you want to stop checking social media and the internet for many hours each evening then replace that habit and space with reading more books or joining a club, sport or an evening class"....
