It is fabulous how one habit has a ripple effect on the habits that follow.
For the last couple of days, I've swapped my morning coffee first thing to having my lemon water with a pinch of salt. An easy change right? But how has this affected my routine?
I've not felt like my coffee straight after, so I haven't had my decaf coffee until late in the afternoon. Now because of this, I've dropped my coffee intake from 4 coffees to 2.
A swap or a substitute, even though small, can have a ripple effect on your results.
Just over 4 years ago I switched from alcoholic wine to non alcoholic wine. Simple switch, but it has made a huge impact. I only drink non alcoholic wine for a treat now and have given up alcohol forever.
I've been listening to health coach Aubrey Marcus who talks about the addiction to nicotine for smokers. A simpler first switch could be to switch from smoking cigarettes to smoking a cigar that you don't inhale or chewing on tobacco. You get the nicotine hit without inhaling the toxic smoke into your lungs.
What have you swapped or substituted that has worked for you or what can you implement that would make a positive difference in your life?
