So, what is this one thing you need to do daily to be able to stay on track and continuously move in the direction of health and well-being?
It’s not what you think…
It is BEING KIND TO YOURSELF!
Not what you expected, right?
Most of us are very hard on ourselves and tend to notice more about what we get wrong rather than what we get right. This brings us down and when feeling down, we will find it harder to do what is good, right & healthy.
Give yourself a break! Regularly…
How often? ALWAYS
Give yourself credit for any small and big victories…Notice as many things you are doing well and right especially regarding health, well-being and your eating plan.
When?
EVERYDAY! ALL THE TIME
Yes, daily self-credit.
Every time you have a glass of water, eat a carrot, go for a 5-minute walk, leave your phone aside whilst eating etc…give yourself credit.
I have a small notebook next to my bed and I write on the one side a few things that I give myself credit for from the day. (On the other side of the notebook I write down a few things I am grateful for).
You are welcome to copy me!
