Habit & Mindset Change: Plan, Prioritise and Prepare
Habit & Mindset Change: Plan, Prioritise and Prepare
You can't do a behaviour (like consistently eating well) unless you help yourself do a behaviour. In other words, unless you plan, prepare and facilitate taking action, you can't do anything, or you can't sustain it for very long.
If we don't make time for our health, fitness and nutrition-related skills and behaviours then we can't expect to meet our goals.
That's why this week's skill is to practice basic planning, prioritisation and preparation techniques.
Your task this week is to adopt a weekly planning routine and complete a daily action.
• Use a calendar, diary or app on your phone to schedule your food shopping, main meal prep time, daily walks and any additional workouts.
• Look ahead to your upcoming week, anticipate potential obstacles and setbacks, and plan to how you will prepare for these situations so they do not impact your health, fitness and nutrition plans negatively.
Daily Actions to Help You Stay on Track
Pick just one (or maximum two) daily actions that you are going to focus on so that these daily actions can eventually become habitual. Here are some examples/ideas, but pick something that you would personally like to focus on. Even one small daily action completed consistently will move you in the direction of your goals.
• Spending 15 minutes doing small meal prep tasks (e.g. packing your lunch, chopping vegetables to have handy)
• Packing your workout clothes ready the night before
• Taking your supplements at the same time each day
• Drinking 1.2 - 2 litres of fluids daily
