#7] Complaining — Ooo this is such a good one, + can be so hard. Ultimately, it comes down to awareness + patience to stop this habit.
#8] Obsessing about exercise + the number of miles I’m running — Ask yourself: “What’s my *why* — Why do I run? Why do I exercise? From Sarah:
Do you exercise because you feel good? Because it’s a stress reliever? Because you have fun doing it? Chances are, when you ask yourself *why* you exercise — you will connect with a deeper reason that will allow you to see the *big picture* of your exercise/running routine + understand that it’s not about the number of miles you run — it’s about something else. If you notice that your *why* is not coming from a positive place, it might be a good idea to seek out a therapist.
#9] Weighing myself frequently — Throw the scale out.
#10] Procrastination — So many of you said this! Read this post about procrastination + how to quit ; ).
