The harmful behavior often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as we engage in discouraging self-talk that hinders our progress and prevents us from adopting positive habits.
Consequently, we find ourselves succumbing to defeatism and giving up easily.
Many individuals have faced repeated failures, particularly when it comes to diets, healthy eating patterns, and smoking cessation. Consequently, when attempting to embrace a healthier diet once again, the burden of guilt and frustration from past failures weighs heavily. Doubts about success persist from the outset. Even the slightest misstep leads to self-criticism, reinforcing the belief in inevitable failure.
To mitigate this, it is crucial to monitor and analyse our self-talk. How do we respond to setbacks?
If you happen to miss a workout, do you tend to label yourself as a lethargic individual? In case you succumb to indulging in a substantial portion of your beloved treat, do you convince yourself that you will forever remain overweight and incapable of adhering to a healthy diet? Rather than criticizing yourself for these slip-ups, take a moment for introspection. Reflect upon the number of instances where you successfully upheld your commitments in the past few days. Examine the emotions that influenced you to deviate from your path this time. Is there something different you could have done to manage those emotions more effectively? Perhaps you felt an absence of treats, leading you to succumb to that generous slice of cake. Could you have requested a smaller portion or taken a single bite before sharing the remaining cake with your friends?
If you failed to complete a workout due to time constraints, have you considered if there was a moment where you could have dedicated five minutes to stretching or taken a quick walk or jog, so as to not remain completely inactive? After assessing the reasons behind it and determining a suitable plan of action that would have kept you on track, it is essential to engage in positive self-talk. For instance, instead of chastising oneself for indulging in an entire piece of cake, acknowledge its deliciousness and resolve to savor only a few bites next time. Similarly, if there was a need for some breathing space in your schedule, resulting in a missed workout, consider bringing a resistance band to work to perform exercises while on hold during phone conversations. By recognizing negative self-talk and taking the time to understand the underlying criticism, you empower yourself to redirect towards positive actions.
With continuous effort, you may even find that you begin to congratulate yourself for making the right choices, rather than criticizing yourself for perceived mistakes.
