Hi Evelyn,

Yes, that’s why strategy is important — think about a good alternative ahead of time, so you don’t replace one bad habit with another. Good point.

Hi Barbara,

Glad you picked out that point. Boredom is surprisingly powerful, in a negative way. It can stress us and drive us to do all kinds of things that don’t feel good about doing.

Properly being stimulated is very important.

Having an alternative is definitely important! Bad habits are hard to break and we would need a backup plan if we find ourselves tempted to give in. Nevertheless, it is crucial that we do not replace one bad habit with another! We need a healthier and viable alternative. Evelyn Lim´s last blog post..My Vision Board Tops Amazon’s Bestseller List?

Hi Ari - The part that really resonated with me was "Don’t underestimate the stress of boredom". I find myself snacking when I'm not even hungry. When I stop and think about it, it's because I'm bored. When dieting it's important to ask yourself "why" you're eating. Often it's not because we're hungry.

Jennifer,

Exactly — and sad. It’s a deeply embedded habit, this feeling bad business. When that’s what you’re used to, you find ways to feel bad.
