3 Ways to Completely Sabotage Your Health Habit and How to Prevent Them.

Auto sabotage is very common in every person. We always want to prize ourselves for our hard work, and self-sabotage starts there. It is good to auto-prize, but at the same time, when this starts to be constant, it can be very harmful to your health habits. For this reason, we want to show you 3 ways to completely sabotage your health habits and how to prevent them.

Case 1:

After a long work day, you say, “I deserve this desert and a day off from the gym.”

Of course, we always deserve things, and we work hard, but you know that you have been working hard every day. Will you say this every day? If yes, you’ll mess up your diet and your workouts.

Instead of saying, “I deserve this desert and a day off from the gym,” you will say, “I worked so hard today, so I’ll go to the gym to relax my mind and keep my diet schedule because it will help me recover my body for tomorrow.”

Actions like that will give you better results than ever.

Of course, you can and deserve a sweet dessert, but your job can’t be an excuse.

Case 2:

“I’m too tired to go to the gym today.”

This is a very common thought. We always think that we are too tired to exercise. But the reality is that we are not too tired. We are just stressed out about life's things and believe that going home will help us relax. But the best thing to do is to go to the gym because there, you will relax your mind and improve your health.

Remember, we are never too tired to go to the gym. If you are an athlete, sometimes your body needs some rest days, but if you are a common person who works out to improve your health and get fit, you probably don’t need a full day of rest.

To fix it, if you are feeling super tired and think that you don’t need to exercise, do this: go to the gym and start slow, do a treadmill walk, and slowly try to increase the workout intensity. Try to feel how your body responds.

Case 3:

“I ate a lot last long weekend, and now I’ll compensate by reducing the amount of calories.”

This action is a huge mistake that has a high impact on your results.

We will break our diets sometimes, and it’s okay. One or two days without following the proper diet will not change your body composition or affect your performance.

You have been doing your diet for months, so two days will not change your results. So the best thing that you can do is to come back to a regular diet and avoid compensation. Your body knows that you have good habits and will return to normal.

Throughout our lives, we encounter many challenges that try to keep us from our health routine. But how you respond to those challenges will affect your goals. Sometimes, we need to slow down, take a break from our restricted diet or sleep very late. This is very common in the real world. But trust in the process and relax; you can’t be 100% the entire time; sometimes, you need to go under 50% to recover and come back better.

Whenever you think you are auto-sabotaging yourself, stop and rethink and find a way to overcome it. Always find one way to keep the plan.
