Overcome Weight Loss Obstacles Weight Loss Tip:

All our habits are accumulative.

Whatever the habits of your life are, helpful or unhelpful, they're accumulating and compounding and taking you to a future destination.

And habits are funny things, we pick them up willy nilly it seems, with no real thought to what we're training ourselves to do. One day you just decide to have a biscuit at 10am and then the next day, you remember that you had a biscuit at 10am and you liked it so you do it again, and the next 3 days after that, you find yourself having a biscuit at 10am. If you do that 5 days a week, every week, that's 5 biscuits a week, 20 a month, 240 biscuits a year. That's a lot of unnecessary calories, right?

And our brain is a little bit sneaky too, not on purpose, it's just the way evolution has designed it, but once it learns a new habit, it just puts it into the rotation with all the other things you've taught it to do automatically and you lose conscious awareness of the habits that are shaping your destination.

Now, a fun thing to do is to bring awareness to both unhelpful and helpful habits by creating a simple box with 31 squares in it and write above each box the habit you're going to track, then each day put a tick or a cross in the box. Or you can make little notes, whatever tells the story better for you.

This is such a simple visual that shows you at a glance how many times a month you do the thing you do. Some examples of things you can track:
◾ Sugar free days - tick for yes or write in what you ate
◾ Alcohol free days - tick for yes or write in what you ate
◾ Walks - tick for yes and maybe include how far you walked
◾ Meditation - tick for yes, cross for no
◾ Exercise days - tick for yes, cross for no
◾ Pain free days - tick for yes, cross for no
◾ How many cups of coffee you have a day - write the number in the box

I'm sure you'll think of habits that are relevant to you.
