Tuesday Tips

A habit takes 21 days to establish and it will take at least that long to break. When you are trying to break a habit, give yourself frequent rewards for good behavior. Positive reinforcement works on people as well as animals. Know you will be mightily tempted when you are feeling stressed. When you do slip, don’t beat yourself up which could make matters worse, just remind yourself that what you are doing is difficult but in your own best interest. It helps me to remember, “Progress Not Perfection.”
