If you recall, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to break a bad habit or two...
This is about breaking one of them.
Carbonation in the form of Diet Cokes or Cokes....
I have stopped before
and
then
started back up....when I got stressed or to be honest, just forgot that I had stopped.
I want to end this habit for GOOD!
So, I've been working on a new approach and plan.
Instead of quitting, I have been working on replacing it with a better option.
Why is this different, you ask?
Well, in my past attempts, I quit and then tried to fill the void. A situation that set up for a sense of deprivation and loss.
My new approach is to not quit, but have other things in my life that replace it. Basically, let it go out of love and not needing it anymore.
I have set goals for myself to increase my water intake, drink more tea and find options and by doing this I have already made progress.
I am in for the marathon, not the sprint, of this endeavor, so I am not there yet, but I am loving the direction I am going..
Being kinder to myself,
Melissa
