“It’s how I’ve always been”.
Do you teach your kids to learn from their mistakes? To own up for their faults, or do you say to them “you will never learn” or “you will never change”?
It is doubtful you talk to your kids that way, so take a page of your own book. It’s never too late to make a change. You think you’re stuck in your ways? How did you get there in the first place?
How do you make a change?
- Start small. Don’t change your entire life. Pick something minor, but challenging. It may be having 2 pieces of fruit every day. It may be having breakfast, lunch and dinner consistently every day.
- Allow for some wiggle room. Sometimes there are functions on, or a loved one dies, or you suddenly are away for a work trip. Your life and environment change. So make some wiggle room for those changes.
- Don’t be ‘all or nothing’. 80/20 is the way to go. This is correlated with the above point.
