How to Get Back on Track with Good Habits

You’ve fallen off the bandwagon. What do you do? You get back up again, right? Even if it feels hard and you’re feeling embarrassed and guilty. You may not think it matters. But it does matter because once you let yourself slip, it’s easy to allow yourself to slip up again and become the opposite of the positive habit you wanted to create.

Here are a couple things:

• Do the Level 1 Version of the habit until you rebuild that muscle to where it needs to be. For example, if you’d been vacationing and missed your hard workouts, then just do 1/4 of what you normally do when you return home.
• Add more time or duration each day and slowly increase back to your normal routine. Schedule it in, set the timer for 15 – 20 minutes. Keep it ridiculously simple. It’s just as easy to slip back into your good habits as your bad habits.

Do something (anything) to get back to consistency.

Think of the positive outcome that can come out of this. Give it a try. What do you need to get back into?
