1, 2, or 3. Which one best describes how you stick with your healthy habits?
1) My healthy habits come naturally and easily.
I listen to what my body needs and trust myself to fuel it and move it accordingly without have-tos, control, guilting myself to follow-through, or beating myself up.
I look in the mirror and love what I see. I regularly feel calm, confident, and joyful.
2) I can stick with my healthy habits as long as I use a lot of negative motivation and willpower.
I restrict food and drinks so that I’m not tempted because when I fall I fall hard. I make myself workout so I can check it off my list.
Negative motivation works for me because if I wasn’t pressuring myself to stick with it I’d never get off the couch. I cringe when I look in the mirror. regularly feel stressed, drained, and annoyed.
3) I always start off gung-ho and am fired up to tackle a lot all at once.
And then my mind goes into over-drive. What if I fail? After all, I’ve tried eating better and exercising lots of times and I’ve never succeeded before so what makes me think I’ll succeed this time?
At this point, I start finding excuses and vow to try again later when life is more in balance. I avoid the mirror. I regularly feel stressed, angry, and disappointed.
