Assalamualaikum,

Can someone please give advice/dua's for getting rid of bad habits?

This doesn't necessarily mean they're haram, but ones that kill your time - I know that the shaitan has alot to do with it. I want to replace some not so good habits with good ones, so I can use my time better as well as not feeling so down when I don't do things. I beat myself up alot and don't know how to take it easy

I need strength with willpower, I feel as if my willpower at times is absolutely zero.

one things for sure that you wont get rid of the bad habits that quickly so you have to be patience as it will take time like most things. If you have a habit then ssomtimes totally cutting it out of your life can make you want to do it again so you have to cut down slowly and then eventually you wont feel the need to do it again for example
watching tv if you watch it everyday then cut down the hours and how many days you watch it eventually you will loose interest in it and if your mind does tell you to go and watch it or whatever it is then at that moment you do the opposite like go and pray quran or something or sit and read a kitab something that will make you forget that you wanted to even watch tv and all the keeping in mind that Allah's watching what you are doing and always remember you only doing this to make yourself a better person.
