Back to: Day 12 Keep on Track
Read: How Your Social World Influences What You Eat
While you might not be able to get others to act differently, since social cues are a two-way street, you can create new ones for your social group. For example, you can:
- Research and create a new healthy recipe with your spouse or family
- Ask your friends to join you for a weekly group fitness class
- Keep your fridge and pantry stocked with healthier food items to encourage your family to eat healthy foods around you
- Socialize with friends by doing activities that do not have problematic social cues (something like going for a walk, for example, is actually positive!)
- Bring healthy foods to share at parties and other special events when possible
- Expand your circle and find new friends with similar health interests
Today’s CHALLENGE:
- log your meals
- Log your water intake
- log your steps
- Practice gratitude. Take time to reflect on what you’re grateful for each day to cultivate a positive mindset.
- write down your feelings in your journal
