Making a change in our life requires us to commit to new behaviours and stop doing old behaviours.
Unfortunately, it is much harder to resist the old behaviours than keep doing the new.
So if you want to make a sustainable change in your life, you need to allocate your efforts according to this imbalance.
Yes it’s important to focus on living your desired lifestyle each day. But it’s even more important that your old behaviours are sustainably disrupted.
This also means that when you do fall back on your old behaviours, you are forgiving of yourself rather than upset or guilty.
Because when you commit to a change with a healthy appreciation for how strong your old behaviours are, you’ll be accepting that you’ll fall back to them from time to time and see them as opportunities to improve.
