How can I pace myself when developing healthy habits?

Developing any health habit starts with setting a specific goal. But, even if your goal is specific, you can get into trouble if it isn't reachable right from the start. An hour of running every day, or trying to lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks, may be more than you can handle.

If you can't do the behavior consistently, you'll never reach the goal. The trick is to pace yourself. Using exercise as an example, let's say you're absolutely sure you can accomplish 30 minutes of walking.

Take that amount and cut it in half for the first week. For the first week, you will walk for no more and no less than 15 minutes. For each subsequent week, add 5 more minutes to the workout, no more and no less.At the end of 4 weeks, you will have reached your goal, and you also will have been exercising for 4 weeks.

Research shows that, in order to exercise regularly, you must develop the exercise habit before you develop the physical conditioning. You accomplish two things with this pacing schedule: You are practicing the behavior consistently and you are giving yourself the best chance at success each time you practice it. Those two accomplishments are absolutely critical for developing healthy habits.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
