@winnerswellnessonly: an if then plan picks the moment and the action in advance, so there's nothing to argue with yourself about when it arrives. the last row matters most: write down the moment you always quit. in the 248 person trial, motivation raised how much people intended to exercise but not how much they did, and adding a plan is what changed it. that trial only ran for 2 weeks. a review of 23 studies found these plans help with adding healthy food more than with cutting out junk. the studies - exercise: Milne 2002, Br J Health Psychol. PMID 14596707 - eating: Adriaanse 2011, Appetite. PMID 21056605 what's the moment you always quit? #habits #discipline #SelfImprovement #wellnesstips #thatgirl
