Healthy Habits: How to Start a New Life with Them
Motivation
First of all, you need to motivate yourself correctly. For example, you decided to lose weight. The correct motive is to get rid of extra pounds. The wrong one is to look attractive so that girls will pay attention to you. Do you feel the difference?
Stages
Decided to lead a healthy lifestyle? Don't take on everything at once. To start, start sleeping normally. Then eat according to the regime. After that, you can start running in the mornings, buy a gym membership, or whatever comes to mind. Otherwise, you risk not being able to withstand the drastic change in your lifestyle and quickly giving up.
Condescension
Decided to change? Congratulations: this means that you are not satisfied with yourself and strive for development. Important: as you progress, do not engage in self-flagellation. Being an executioner is effective, but sometimes you need to motivate yourself with a carrot.
Support
It is easier to get used to healthy habits when someone supports you. And the most effective option is not just support, but a role model for you. Together, you will be able to quit drinking, smoking, and playing sports twice as fast.
Responsibility
Sometimes it is easier to be responsible for someone else than for yourself. That is why many people still have not gotten rid of bad habits. In such cases, ask your friends to control you. Or even better, make a bet with them. This way you will not only achieve your goal, but also get an additional bonus after winning.
Plan
Usually you don't think about habits, you just go and spend time on them. It's more difficult with new ones, since they haven't yet penetrated the subconscious. What to do in such situations? We recommend planning them. For example: decided to run in the morning? Then work out a training schedule, and in the evening set an alarm clock and prepare liquid in advance to maintain hydration. Otherwise, you will never be able to set foot on the path to a new healthy life.
Specifics
Simply hammering the phrase “I want to run” into your head is not enough to achieve your goal. Be specific. Running means systematically training so that in a month you can run 10 km in one go. This is the only way to develop healthy habits.
