"Every pure intention ends when the good times start
Fallin' over everything to reach the first time's spark
It started under neon lights and then it all got dark
I only know how to go too far"
Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran (click here for the music)
Despite being able to climb on the couch,
Nala has a bad habit of waiting to be lifted into the car.
On the radio this morning I heard Dr Zac Seidler Clinical Psychologist, at Movember remind listeners that whilst it’s the last day of November, it’s essential to keep looking after the physical and psychological wellbeing of yourself and your friends all year round.
How do I maintain my new habits?
Take stock of your bad habits
Pick one thing that you want and actually can change
Click here for my blog on the benefits of changing one habit
Ensure that you are being honest with yourself and that it is a realistic and achievable change
Plan how and what exactly you will change
Identify who do you need support from to make the change and/or keep you accountable
Prepare for the inevitable slip up
Consider the factors that may lead to relapse
