If you want to change your lifestyle, new routines are very important. A daily routine has the ability to help break bad habits. Think about it — if you get yourself into a bunch of good habits, and they become your new “day to day-thing,” then it doesn’t leave much room for your old, bad habits. And instead of trying to avoid bad habits, its easier to start to create new ones. Stick to your new daily routine, and bad habits will be naturally eradicated from your life. Or does that sound too easy?
Mind games
If it sounds too easy your mind is playing games with you again, as it is always looking for reasons not to change at all. And my mind is always playing games with me, so when I decided to change my habits and lifestyle it immediately told me:
- You are not a great cook, so you will never persist, don’t waste any time on this!
- You look great, why would you change your lifestyle?
- With two children at home it is not feasible and they need their nutrients. As a mom you have to bring stability and clarity and not confuse them
- People will think you are mad….
- It will cost a fortune
- You know nothing about food and its nutritional value
- Do you want to become someone who’s always counting calories and eating salads?
interconnected parts of the brain that are responsible for different behaviors. While growing up you are more or less programming your brains about (in)effective behavior (stimuli A leads to response B and vice versa). And luckily in some ‘dangerous’ situations one part of the brain always precedes over the other. You will act (reptilian brain) before you start thinking (human brain). Now we are a bit more aware how our brain behaves, we can actually direct it for our personal health benefit.
