At that point, might as well floss!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Teresa E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First and foremost, I&#39;m human, and sometimes I fail. I&#39;m just too exhausted, or I&#39;m distracted by some rumination as I get under the covers. <\/p>\n<p>What I&#39;ve found helps the most is that, like making my bed in the morning, I am affirming to myself that I&#39;ve at least done something good for myself today. Doing it right before bed tends to set my mind at ease, making it easier to fall asleep peacefully.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kitana N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t like the sensation of waking up with a mouth that is not brushed and the thought of decay not flossing before bed does on my teeth. Also, I kiss my husband more confident when I do both \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Janet W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Put floss in places where it is clearly visible and easy to use (by sink, bedside table, in handbag, in car) and you will be more apt to use it often.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gisa F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It helps to have another task that you need to complete before going to bed, but after you floss. ie: I just flossed and now I\u2019m going to fold the laundry I washed this morning before getting in bed<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Juliane E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019m super motivated right now because I have pre gum disease. Once you go through that fun process at the dentist, it\u2019s easy to not want to repeat that!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mato M.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I focus on how  brushing is more effective after flossing and how  going to bed without brushing is a really bad choice. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julia T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I always struggled with this until recently. I thought it was tedious and takes a long time, but it\u2019s really not a huge hassle. I\u2019ve been so diligent with it because I just really don\u2019t want my teeth to decay. I\u2019m great about brushing my teeth and I have healthy gums, but I still had a cavity that needed a filling recently because of my lack of flossing. So I\u2019m not messing around anymore. I just turn the negative talk in my head (I\u2019m so exhausted, this is such a hassle, I HAVE to floss etc.) and I turn it into \u201cI GET to floss. I\u2019m so fortunate to have this resource. My teeth are going to be healthy because I put the work in. I\u2019m doing this because I love myself and I want to be a more disciplined person!\u201d And that motivates me! Maybe it will work for you, too!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erin J. make a promise to yourself first, remind yourself of it and just think about the task and it\u2019s benefits. remember this is just another step of forming a habit and then it will be really easy.
