OCTOBER FITNESS TIP!

We all have bad habits - whether it's over-worrying, over-shopping, over-eating...what are yours?  I know I have a bad habit of interupting people when they talk!  I know I do it and try my hardest to completely wait until people stop talking, but it happens - I have a lot to say people!  LOL!  To help break bad habits, first identify the habit, and then try these tips:

1).  TREAT YOUR TRIGGERS - Try pin pointing what's prompting it.  Most habitual behaviors come about through some form of stress.

2).  CREATE A LITTLE FRICTION - Because habitual behaviors are automatic reactions, add a barrier between the trigger and the habit.

3).  DO A BEHAVIOR SWAP - When you feel the need to engage in this habit, try something else that's less detrimental.

4).  RECAP A NEW REWARD - The more rewarding something is, the more we are going to do it.
