It was nice to see everyone out today!!
We covered a great many topics as they pertain to healthy lifestyle change...Understanding that Variety is the way of doing this...
We discussed how Chunking behaviors down is a key ingredient to maintain change...When we complete a task/goal (be it small or big), we get a deep sense of satisfaction from the Accomplishment. We also discussed Accountability as a valuable tool to keep us on track.
As promised, to our Lunch Club group...we all made some small lifestyle/behavior changes to be completed by next month's Lunch Club (Tuesday, October 21)...they are:
- for R, to change her Environment and Eat in the kitchen for 5 days (we end up eating fewer calories if we eat in the kitchen!)...she will try Adding a Radio or Reading to enhance the experience
- for E, to do the same, but >5 days of kitchen eating
- for L (welcome L!), to be Active/Exercise and run 12 times in the next month
- for P, to continue to be Active every day (even if it's 5 to 10 minutes)
- for K, to have 3 to 4 good conversations/Connections in the next month
- for myself, I will complete the initial draft of my book...and will continue to Eat healthy, Exercise (soccer, floor hockey) regularly and live each day valuing my Values!
Have fun this month!
Take care,
Dr.P
BTW...finishing this blog is an Accomplishment (even though it is small), but it still feels great that it's done!! :-)
