Starting new habits is hard
For a lot of my clients they really have a challenge starting new habits.
We often don't account for the fact that we're not just starting a new habit.. we're trying to end the old one.
Start smoking = breaking the smoking habit.
Getting physically active = breaking the habit of being physically inactive.
Eating healthy = breaking the habit of eating unhealthy.
I find it best if you're having a rough time to acknowledge that you are starting a new habit and breaking the old one. I also suggest you do the easy mode version of the new habit.
Example.
if you want to get physically active and you know the goal is spend three one hour sessions a week at the gym. Start with three 15 minute active workouts at home per week. This helps you break the old habit and start the new one.
Anyone have any tips that helped you when you were having a hard time breaking an unwanted habit or starting a new one?
