When we try to create new habits, we can easily run into some common mental roadblocks. Here are a few important ones to be aware of:
All-or-Nothing Thinking: Sometimes, we think if we can’t do something perfectly, we shouldn’t do it at all. But it’s important to remember that making progress is more important than being perfect!
Immediate Gratification: We often want quick results. If we don’t see results right away, we might feel disappointed. Instead, try to enjoy the journey and celebrate the small victories along the way!
Overwhelm: When we try to change too many things at the same time, it can be really stressful. It’s a good idea to start small—pick one habit to work on first, then add more later.
Negative Self-Talk: Be kind to yourself! If you make a mistake, don’t be too hard on yourself. Take a moment to think about what happened, and then keep moving forward with a positive attitude.
By staying away from these traps, you’ll have a much better chance of building habits that stick!
