The best time to try something new is when you are in a different location other than where you normally live. What many of us do not realize is that there are usually familiar things in our surroundings that reinforce our undesirable behavior. If you have a problem with overeating and you live by a bakery, it may be a morning ritual for you to stop by on your way to work and pick up a couple of sweets to eat on the way to the office. Trying something new, like having a nutritional breakfast instead of sweets, may be easier to start when you are on vacation and nowhere near your favorite morning bakery. If you don't have any future vacation plans, go visit a friend in another city or create some other change of scenery.
Nobody can do everything alone.
The same is true when it comes to creating new habits. Everyone needs support. When you decide to change your ways, be sure to have a group of friends who you can discuss your trials and triumphs with. You'll enjoy their emotional support and you'll need their help. Ask that person if they will be available to support you as you begin to create your positive new habit.
