I always forgive myself when I get off track. There are so many distractions that can take you off track that sometimes it’s so hard to complete your goals. I think it’s important to be patient and forgiving with yourself. I also like to think about it right before I go to bed, then when I wake up it’s one of the first things I think of (referring to my morning routine).
First, I forgive myself. Then I talk myself into doing the task(s) right then by reminding myself how good I felt the last time I did it.
I think the thing to do is not think too much about doing something and just going for it and doing it again and eventually you will start to miss it once you don’t do it one day or two
I start by being kind to myself that it’s okay to slip, but every new day is different. So doesn’t matter if I am not doing it everyday. As long as I am doing it like today
Motivation is always the key. But each time the question comes.. How to get that spark of motivation. Well, for that the inner self steps in. Apart from everything, as much as the gut feelings of a person helps nothing else can ever. Bringing out the things that I love to do, and pushing myself hard to do them helps me greatly. The best spark is always achieved when I realize that I had been able to complete a particular task. making a list of things to do and then cutting them off, makes me realize that no matter what, I am able to do and I can do anything I want. Moreover, giving myself time to think over the things in life since, giving a thought over your own self and your life happenings makes it alot easier to understand and act through situations.
Example: If you stopped exercising I usually workout at night. I have time to myself and the feeling of fresh shower is the best. So when I stop exercising I remember that feeling that I did something for myself today. I also set time to when will I have my exercise. I get ready so I prepare my clothes and my workout mat, and I do that, I don’t have any excuses left to not workout.
Be kind to yourself. Acknowledge that you "slipped", then try again. It’s easy to beat yourself up, but that doesn’t help. You don’t have to give yourself a giant pep talk, but you DO need to avoid putting yourself down. Speak to yourself with respect and honesty. Then, try again!
When I am on track I am writing the most important ideas on my journal. 📝 I am writing the ideas from daily/night coachings too. When I have a period when I want to give up, I am starting to read what I wrote in my notebook. There are a lot of "you can do it" "take small steps" "don’t feel bad, don’t regret" "when you do a mistake, you learn from it" "don’t forget the reason why you are doing this" "discomfort = growth = happiness" All of the above is giving me confidence that I am still on track ♥️
I take small tiny steps to get back on track. If I slip on exercise and don’t feel like working out I set a small goal like 7 mins. If its eating too much, I try to cut out restaurant meals or cut restaurant meals in half since they are usually filled with fat and carbs
I forgive myself first and foremost. Then I do my best to complete my habits once again, but be gentle with myself through the process.
