I am a creature of habit. Once I form a routine it’s very difficult for me to change it. It is a great fault of mine.
My routine for my day looks like this:
Alarm goes off at 05:30 to go jogging.
I snooze the alarm until 06:15.
It’s too late to jog, so I shower, dress and do my hair and make-up.
I leave for work and arrive at 08:00.
Work, work, work and leave at 16:00.
As I missed out on exercise the morning my idea is to go jogging, but alas I am SO tired I fall on my bed and watch a series until 22:00.
I go to sleep and in the morning my routine starts all over again, with the exception of class or a dinner date in the evening.
How do I break this horrible routine? I used to be so good in keeping a healthy routine while I was at school. After I matriculated I went to study where I had time, lots of time, to follow a healthy routine, but again I formed other routines. Now that I work and study I also find it difficult to maintain a healthy routine.
I guess it’s just the case of putting mind over matter. I do hope I can fall into the habit of a healthy routine again very soon as my health depends on it!
The hardest part is to just start!! The first 2 weeks will be the hardest and then you will get used to it! Life is so busy that we sometimes need to force ourselves to make time for things like excersise. You better start before the winter creeps in.
ReplyDeleteTo get started is definitely the hardest part but you will be amazed how quickly a new habit can be learned.
ReplyDeleteFirst get yourself mentally prepared and motivated to get up in the mornings. Set your alarm even earlier so after snoozing there is still time. You already know all your excuses so sit down and get an alternative mind set for each excuse - it is a mental battle at first but you will get there!
