Hi Rebecca! I just want to say that I can relate!! I often feel the same way: I want so much to change and not to slip back into old patterns, but then I feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start and before I know it, I'm slipping right back into the very patterns I have told myself I will change.......
You've already received some excellent responses here and I do agree with the others that setting ourselves small goals is the way to go. Also, we need to remember that change IS hard and so we shouldn't beat ourselves up if we don't get there right away. The important thing is to keep taking those baby steps, even if some of the steps end up going backwards. Just don't give up and keep trying and be kind to yourself as you make these efforts!!
Wishing you all the very best!
