She talks about instead of setting a goal to stop eating out for lunch at work, you can form a healthy habit of cooking extra food at supper and packing it up for lunch the next day.

 

The key to forming lasting habits is to make task or habit small and easy to achieve, but meaningful enough to make a difference.

Get our Healthy Habit tracking tool and start tracking the habits you want to form! 

 

Here is how to use the tool:

1. Set a schedule for your actions and stick to it 
2. Pick a date to shift you from motion to action.

REMEMBER! Action, is the type of behavior that will get you a result 
Don’t break that chain! If you do break the chain, start over or just don’t break the chain more than twice in a row. 

“At some point, the pain of not doing it becomes greater than the pain of doing it.” – Steven Pressfield

“It is easier to change than to stay the same” 

Example: It’s easier to pack your lunch than to eat out and get mad at yourself for wasting time, money and eating unhealthy. 

By incorporating small, meaningful changes into your life, you are:

-Creating a habit you can maintain
-Doing something achievable
-Gaining CONFIDENCE and COMPETENCE in ONE behaviour at a time
-Creating a catalyst towards BIG results over a longer period of time.
