Stop slips before they become slides
Today is day 23 of the 30 day challenge.
It’s natural to have a few slips along the way to creating your new habit. You know how it goes: you take an escape hatch and then follow it with an”I don’t wanna” day.
What you want to guard against is letting a little slip in commitment turn into a full blown backslide..
How do you know you’re heading for a backslide?
Well you probably know because your internal chatter about whether you “should or shouldn’t” gets a little louder. If you miss 3 days in a row without a REALLY good reason like illness or family crisis, then you are likely headed straight down hill.
Catch yourself on day 2 of your slip and recommit to getting back to your habit the next day.
Even if you find that you have been backsliding for several days, stop yourself and get back on track. Don’t let your hard work disappear. A backslide of 6 days beats a permanent one every time.
Tune in tomorrow for a reality check.
