This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

When you regularly are treating yourself to something that you don’t find value in, in your schedule, you are creating bad habits for yourself.

I’ll take this example that I’ve chatted with a lot of you about in the past.

When I was depressed, I went through depression for some time.

I transferred out of my job.

I was asking poor questions.

I was totally in a victim mentality.

At that moment, I felt like a victim.

I would find myself looking for comfort.

Without realizing it, I was spending a lot of time on a particular couch.

I was in a blanket on that couch and I’d be crying on the couch.

When I got out of the depression, I continued to find comfort on my couch when I was tired or when I was challenged.

The list continued to grow.

Eventually, I started to notice that it was a habit that was keeping me from productivity.

I traced it back to the time when I needed support (I am sure it goes back even further…and that is for another time).

I created a habit out of comfort.

In a way, comfort is a treat to oneself.

Take a look into your life and find areas that maybe you don’t think are a treat or an overindulgence, but you find yourself wasting time there.

You find yourself creating habits that aren’t going to take you where you’re interested in going next.

Remember that to get where you want to go next, which is uncharted territory for you, you get to step into some level of discomfort.

You are very close to your next level already.

You’ve been training for it.

Every episode of your life has been preparing you for the next level, so you’re close.

So what small things do you do repetitively?

They may have started as something where you were caring for yourself or treating yourself.

Now they’ve become a bad habit.

Take a look at that today, jot down some notes, and bring those to the workshops that I offer.

Have a beautiful day.
