Choose a task that is TOO easy and you won’t see results. You’ll get bored and lose motivation
Choose a task that is TOO hard and you’ll be unable to stick to it. You may see results for a short time but you’ll be filled with anxiety – “
how will I ever stick to this”
or
“I don’t want to live the rest of my life this way”
Choosing the right task will entail making mistakes.
You might choose to add in 3 hours a week of exercise.
Only to find out that your husband can’t make it home to be with the kids despite his deep desire to support your exercise habit.
So you may have to switch your task from 3 hours a week of exercise
To going for a walk for 30 minutes 5 times a week.
