Procrastination? In a loop of destructive habits? Try...
As a lot of people here already know, breaking a destructive habit is difficult. Especially, when there are millions of triggers. And in order to get rid of a lot of triggers, you have to change your environment.
So if you are stuck at home, playing video games, not cleaning, procrastinating and feel horrible for trying to break these habits and failing every time, try rearranging your room. Your bedroom, your living room, kitchen any place where you spend most of your time.
Turn your sofa around, change the direction of your TV is facing, buy a few plants and some new wall decoration. Get a carpet, or some photo stands. Maybe a new lamp? Be creative. You might not change who you are on the inside, but you have the opportunity to change where you live. And obviously, after you are done, clean the shit out of everything.
Now, every time you enter your room, to your brain, the environment is completely different. Everything is unfamiliar. Nicer. Cleaner. You might lose some of your subconscious triggers. If you do, forming new habits and breaking old ones will be a lot easier. And if you do, it might snowball, motivate you, and it may make other habits a little bit easier to break.
When I did it, I was amazed by how much easier it was for me to break some of my destructive patterns. I didn't really have to force myself. A lot of it was done automatically as my mind got familiar with the place and started creating new habits.
I couldn't recommend this enough.
