Bad habits

With the habits it would be harmless. For example, “Today I won't think about cigarettes all day!” or “Today I don’t keep staring at my sexy colleague’s back.” - if we do, the consequences are still relatively manageable.

Anyone who suffers from insomnia and keeps saying to himself in bed in the evening "Now I won't think about my sleep problem, I'll just go to sleep" - you will achieve exactly the opposite of that. This is pretty for sure.
