Journal Prompt: Behavior Patterns
Added 2021-07-14 13:24:03 +0000 UTCMost behaviors in my life run on a cycle— engage in behavior, guilt, shame, vowing to change, short-lived success, plummet in motivation, repeat. 🔁
What are some old behavior patterns of your own? Are there any solutions that have worked for you in the past that you might be able to utilize now—even if they aren’t a “forever” fix?

I relate to this completely. My solution (a few years ago) was to try a half marathon. I was determined to walk it if I had to. For a year, little else mattered. I could run 20 seconds. In the end I ran the distance slowly. Lost loads of weight. Now I’m trying CBT as a solution. I think, after a few weeks, it’s beginning to have an impact. It’s so hard. Thank you for posting.
2021-08-03 20:20:50 +0000 UTCI picked up doing Rubix Cube a couple months ago!!! It’s my favorite now that I actually know how to do it 😂
2021-07-15 03:28:03 +0000 UTCUsing food as a comfort is one of mine too. I have this bad habit of "I'm watching TV, I need something to snack on" and also "I'm feeling snacky, but I need something that doesn't involve my hands while I eat--I'll watch some TV!" I'm working on trying to break that but...yeah, no success with that. I do have a fidget spinner and a Rubik's cube near my sofa and playing with those does help with the snack cravings some.
