You changed your old habits that were getting in your way of good health and happiness.
It's been over 4 years since I've been living my "new" habits.
Better nutrition. Regular and effective workouts. Learning to include 'me' in my prioritization near or at the top of the list, which has been one of the tougher new habits to practice.
I needed to take a few days off from the gym recently. The first day I pretty much sat around and grazed all day. When Laurence got home I told him that and, without skipping a beat, he said, "At least you've been eating good food."
Hmmm. True. But it was still just mindless grazing.
My new habits have become old habits.
Too many taro chips are still counterproductive to my overall health despite being a better choice than potato chips.
Too much snacking later in the day on better choices is still too much snacking later in the day.
When new habits become old habits, it's once again time to shake yourself up. It might mean one little shift here and there, but those little changes keep our bodies and minds awake.
