Awareness: Do you track your food?
Yesterday, I challenged you to practice awareness of your thoughts about yourself. This is important because your thoughts always precede your actions. The only way to change your thoughts is to question them. This is what awareness is. Once you change your thoughts, only then can you change your actions. 💯
As with anything else, awareness (for the sake of changing) is an ongoing process. That’s not to say it doesn’t get easier. It does. The more you practice awareness around your thoughts and actions, the more it becomes a part of you. Ultimately, it’s just like building any other habit—but we all know habits don’t build themselves. Habits are the product of doing something over and over until it sticks—until it becomes second nature.
According to Tracking Your Food Intake for Awareness: Practical Guide to Healthy Eating, “Psychologists note that self-monitoring changes behavior by reducing ‘blind spots.’ When individuals track their food, they are less likely to underestimate portions or forget snacks. This process of tracking your food intake for awareness taps into accountability—when meals are recorded, it’s harder to ignore choices.”
