My last therapist consistently told me to take better care of myself, to lose weight (for health reasons) and sleep on time (I sleep random times), eat better, go for a walk at least every other day, etc.
Given that I have no major commitment during the day, IF I WANTED IT, I'm sure I could do those things. In fact, they are simple enough for anybody to do. In other words, she was not asking me to run a marathon. Everything she said was reasonable and doable.
Today I was so fed up with myself (after taking care of myself quite well for a day or two I started again with bad habits) I decided to ask, anybody else struggle with this? Can we brainstorm some reasons why or why not? I mean aside from the fact that not taking care of yourself can become "habitual".
