Thank you for sharing this concept! Learning about Executive Functioning helped me to ditch the negative self talk (calling myself lazy, incompetent, etc.) and find strategies that help me improve in my areas of weakness (Task Initiation and Time Management). I'm excited to add the 20 second rule to my bag of tricks! I can already see how this will help me complete some dreaded cleaning tasks by gathering all the supplies in the room that I want to tackle.
I kinda felt this way about fresh produce vs “ready to go” junk food. Or just fresh food vs nuking a micro dinner. Or just grabbing fast food or takeout. I def think my main motivation was easy access and it being quick for me. Nowadays tho, I’m getting pretty good at ”pre conveniencing” my homemade food and fresh produce for myself. Lol. I really do love that tho. I find that I enjoy it being my own homemade “ready to go” stuff even more tho and I feel more proud of myself rather than bad about myself. Lol.
Yes, very true. It doesn’t take much effort really to do some prep work and have those healthy options available! We just need to remember to plan ahead! Good job! ❤️
@@ArrowHillCottage Lol. Thanks. Idk how long I went tho just avoiding it all (like years) and making a mountain out of a molehill in my head about it. And yah. I mean I do sneak in some almond bark or caramel dip with the fruit every once in awhile. 😅😅 Still prob better than cookies or candy bars tho. And something like salad vs chips (or indulging in a bit of Marie’s blue cheese with my celery. Ha ha). I also never knew “freezer” sketti could be so good either lol. Baby steps. And homemade supreme pizza. Oh my. Lol. I must be hungry. And also just learning how to keep produce so it can last a little while (I guess just gaining more confidence about that and what all freezes well in general).
for junk food, it is real. during quarantine, at first we can not go out at all. and so when no more junk food.. we started to eat all the dried fruit, baking more healthy stuff.. and so.. it made me realised it too :) thanks for reminding this :) as since, i started to buy back some bad food sometimes :)
