Day 20 – Support
Our environment, and the people in it, has a real impact on our behaviours. Think about it this way: if all your closest friends love a gin and tonic on a Wednesday night, it won’t be long before you’re joining them for one too. There’s nothing wrong with that — but if what you actually want is to get to the gym, go for a walk, or get some food prep done, it can be hard to go against the grain of the people around you.
So here’s today’s challenge: think through the people you see every day — your friends, your partner, your kids, your colleagues, anyone in your immediate circle — and look honestly at their habits.
How do you see those people? Do you see them as active, as healthy eaters, as fit and energetic? Are these the values and habits you want to align yourself with?
Your support network can make a healthy choice feel easy or feel like swimming upstream. Today’s task is simply about noticing that, so you can start choosing your environment as deliberately as you choose your workouts.
