Last week we discussed how habits can destroy our weight loss plans, no matter how good they are.
According to research, about 40% of our behavior every day is from habits.
What defines a good habit or a bad habit?
It's all about the effect. Bad habits create unwanted effects, good habits create positive effects. Simple enough right?
Why I think self-reflection is key to breaking habits?
Like I said, habits are like parasites, they invade and completely take us over, mind and body. That's why they go by unnoticed much of the time. Do you always notice your breathing, or heart beating? Not usually right? Only when they change suddenly. But of course, those are necessary habits.
Why?
It helps you to hone in on exactly what you're doing, or not doing, during the day. For example, when you're just living your day, many times habits just kick in without any awareness. Afterall, habits are just recordings of you on autopilot. Looping circuits.
Some final thoughts…
What I'll do to help you is to give you some worksheets with useful questions. You can just fully answer questions about your day and this will give you a good result. It will also give you a greater insight into who you are.
You can find the links from the show notes of this episode in a few days after it airs.
I hope you do it and really start to get control of your habits and start to live the life we ALL want… being fit and healthy!
