When it comes right down to it... Our San Jose personal fitness trainers want you to know there are only 3 steps to building a new habit: Being aware of the habit that needs to change, Replacing it with something new, And consistently choosing the new habit. The only problem? Most people get stuck after step one. They know WHAT habit needs to change… But they don’t have anything to replace it with. Our San Jose personal trainers have a solution for you... A self-care menu. A self-care menu is a list of feel-good actions you can take BEFORE you slip back into “autopilot.” Some examples: Play with your pet for 5 minutes Listen to one of your favorite songs Go outside for some fresh air Do some quick stretches Meditate for 3 minutes Doing these things can help disrupt your old “trigger → behavior” cycle with something that feels good and that you enjoy. AND… this short interruption can give you some breathing room so you can be more mindful about what you do next — whether it’s what you’re going to eat, whether or not you’re going to scroll on your phone, or any other habit you’re trying to replace. The next step? Consistency! Our San Jose personal trainers recommend keeping your “self-care” menu somewhere you can see it, like your phone’s Notes app, your fridge, or on a sticky note by your desk. It takes practice to redirect yourself… But eventually, you’ll find it getting easier and easier to make better choices. (Makes sense, right?)
