No more alcohol!
No more chips!
No more animal products!
No more late nights!
No more wasting time!
Easier said than done right? Each of these I have been improving on, but why is it so hard to break a bad habit or make a positive change? Lately for me, it’s been due to many external circumstances that have made it too easy to use crutches rather than stick to my guns and stay healthy. In addition, my personal health has been a bit poorer than usual so I haven’t been taking care of myself in certain ways on top of that. Even those outside circumstances have made me less healthy, due to stress and time management, adding on extra problems certainly doesn’t help.
So why do we do it?
In a way it’s a form of control, at least I get to decide how to hurt myself rather than the outside world. Or to backup everything else as an huge conspiracy in that it’s not my fault, because ‘x’ happened.
So right now, I’ve been doing my typical gradualist changes, but this week is starting with vegan M-F with my workouts each day as well. No alocohol, except socially, same with bad foods. This will also make me more social, which is something that I need to add to my Yes more lists, once I get control of these no mores.
