How To Deal With Your Funny Bad Habits
How you deal with your funny bad habits and get what you want instead of bad, unwanted results.
We all have our funny bad habits that give us bad, unwanted results.
Habits are like pathways in the brain.
When we do, or learn something new, we create a tiny footpath in our brain. The first time we walk that path there will be a very little trace left behind us.
Every time we walk it again, the footpath becomes wider.
After awhile it’s no longer a footpath but a pathway, and it might eventually become a highway. But, we need to use the pathway for it to become wider.
It’s easier to take the highway instead of creating a new pathway. This is why old habits are difficult to change.
Is the pathway leading us to where we want to go?
If not, we need to make a new one. We need to change our pathway/habit so it leads us where we want to go.
Create a new pathway/habit takes some effort.
We all have made “wrong” choices in the past, taken the wrong paths.
The good news is that once we are aware of what we do, we can make the “right” choices in the future and create new pathways in the brain.
This takes time. While we are opening up a new pathway we have to remind ourselves every time to take the pathway, instead of the more familiar highway.
“Is this habit/pathway leading me closer to my weight loss goal?”
An important piece of your weight loss project is to make new lifestyle choices that will eventually become good habits that will help you keep your new weight under control.
What you have to do is examining your choices. Decide if they are beneficial to you or not, and if they are not, you change them.
Changing our funny bad habitsA lot of people say “I don’t want to change; I just want to lose weight.”
This is because we really don’t want to admit that we were wrong in the first place, yet doing the necessary changes.
We all make mistakes. That’s part of being human. Just accept that you did the best you could and move on. If you keep on making the same choices (mistakes) you will have the same results, and your possibilities of keeping the weight off for long are minimal.
It’s all about awareness and knowledge. When you are aware of what you do, you just need the right knowledge and an open mind to make the right choices.
Make your habits work for you, not against you.
Here you can check you eating habits and see where it’s easiest to change.
