Start small and embrace every tiny win. When people go to break a bad habit, they tend to take an all-or-nothing approach. They see it as a fail, if they don't do it perfectly and that's when they give up. It creates a pass/fail mechanism in your brain. Instead if you praise the small wins, or even being able to last a few days without doing the bad habit, then you will focus on the good. Focus on improving by 10% instead of expecting overnight change. Another thing that helps is make the bad habit harder to do so if it's checking social media when trying to sleep for example, put your phone in another room, set time limits on social media. Make it easier for you to not do the habit, and harder for you to do it. When you lose inspiration, remind yourself of your 'why'. Write a list and keep it accessible like the notes section of your phone of all the reasons why this habit is no longer benefitting your life :) M xx
