Bad habits are bringing me down
Nobody is perfect and sometimes finding the motivation to continue with your weight loss plan and healthy lifestyle is difficult. Slipping back into old habits like overeating or skipping exercise can be easy to do. Identifying the trigger that causes you get off track, deciding ahead of time how to handle situations, and replacing negative habits with positive ones will help you stay on track. First, figure out what situations trigger you to slip back into old habits. For example, let’s say after work, you’re tired so you just grab fast food on the way home. The trigger is lack of energy. Determine what’s behind the energy deprivation; lack of sleep, poor exercise or eating habits for example, then address the issue at its core. Second, determine what negative habit is getting in your way. In our example, the habit is poor planning. You’re tired, so you just grab anything. When you identify the habit that needs to be changed you can address it with a new positive action. Finally, begin to plan new actions. Once you identify the core issue and the negative habit, you can address it by creating a new plan. In our example, planning ahead for healthy, easy to do meals, scheduling time for exercise, and adjusting schedules so you get plenty of rest allows you to feel energized in the evening and gives you the ability to leave that nasty fast food grabbing habit behind. Dealing with the problem, the trigger, not just the symptom, the negative habit, leaves you free to develop more positive habits. Practicing your new habits on a regular basis helps cement them into your lifestyle and enables you to reach your goals!
