Bad Habits
Ever wonder how a treat every now and then developed into a bad habit that is hard to break? Let’s start with rewards. You just landed a huge promotion or you’ve put in a 50 hour work week, or you finally have saved enough money for that new car. You start to think; Wow I have worked so hard, I deserve a treat! What do you do next? You go down to that amazing bakery down the street and you get yourself a nice pastry. You tell yourself I deserve this pastry! Before you know it you start rewarding yourself with food, which starts developing into a bad habit that you can’t escape. Wondering how to break them?
