Your brain tries to converse energy by using shortcuts - habits - as we all know these are not without problems
Habits the 'Go System' are efficient and great for multitasking.

The 'Stop 🛑System' takes mental effort and is not as effective.
Behaviour change is limited by competing goals & environmental facts.

Aim for sustainable goals - prioritise the most important and start with these.
As with many things in life a plan can help optimise your habits.

Think about the obstacles you may encounter - particularly plan how you will overcome these.
Temptation is worse if something is closer.

You can strengthen your willpower improving your Stop 🛑 System. Don't over tax your Stop 🛑 System it will fail.

Remember if you fail it is part of the improvement process - don't be hard on yourself and keep trying!
Environment is important to help with behaviour change - can trigger behaviours.

Choose your friends very wisely (particularly on Twitter 😉). Avoid people who have habits you are trying to stop
Good luck with all the improvements you are making to your lives. Hopefully this is helpful. Feel free to RT this thread or check out my YouTube channel in which I summarise key points from books to help you get the most from your life 🥰🥰🥰
