Do you struggle more with "to do" or "not to do" routines?

For example: not to smoke, not to overeat, etc. or to go to the gym, to go to work, etc.

Personally, I struggle with “to do” routines, like working out or getting out of the house.

Also struggle with the “not to do” routines, can’t lie lol

Good to see you posting @Dreamer54

both are important but i think “to do” actions are more empowering. Instead of “dont each junk food” its more empowering to say “Eat more vegetables”, because its something you can actually DO to make the not eating junk food possible. If your full on vegetables then you will naturally eat less junk food.

I would start with the “not to do.” If I drink 15 beers a day, I should focus on drinking less or not at all. Same with smoking 3 packs a day. I understand the idea of doing something positive may make it easier to not do something negative. Maybe that’s a good idea, but I don’t think the brain has the “bandwidth” to do both at the same time.

I have no problems with making the beds, hoovering, running to the shop, scrubbing the bathroom.

But things like “No meat, fish, eggs, dairy, oil or alcohol” today can be a challenge.

I have to make a “to do” list everyday just to get anything done. I need to force myself to be motivated to do things.

never thought about it but not to do is a little bit more difficult than to do
