A little over a week into the Plant Positive Jumpstart it's a great time to Evaluate and then Refine your healthy habits.
An opportunity to:
- Fix what is not working.
- Celebrate what is.
- Where needed - Lower the bar to raise your chance of success.
A few examples:
- When I first became vegan I made perfect green smoothies by washing all my organic veg, adding minimal fruit and ruining it all with (disgusting) Spirulina.
=> it was too much effort! I swapped (#3. lowered the bar!) to frozen veg + fruit, ditched the Spirulina completely and used a plant-based protein powder.
Faster. Cheaper. More enjoyable.
- What you focus on expands, so let it be your WINS - celebrate them! Perhaps using up your leftover broccoli stems and "past it's best" spinach in a batch of dairy free pesto. Or making triple the amount of dinner you need and freezing it for future meals. Even, that low value snack you avoided today and the edamame you chose instead (I'm in a serious edamame phase currently!)
3. Lower the bar, by aiming for a shorter walk instead of NO walk. Or, one processed vegan burger with ALL the mixed veg and fresh salad instead of 2 burgers and fries. Even, aiming for 60 seconds of meditating or journaling if longer feels daunting.
✅ Is there anywhere YOU need to lower the bar to raise your chance of success? ✅
Ok, the GIF is the OPPOSITE of lowering the bar for your success however it's too good NOT to share!
