This is an important topic I want to addressâ¦Â Because I keep seeing it pop up in various questions from clients and readers. Hereâs a couple Iâve received and my response to BOTH below: Q1. âCraig, I just got back from a trip. My habits went to heck while I was gone (I really wanted to use a different word but I know you donât swear). I feel completely messed up. Now what? How do I get back on track?â  Q2. âCraig, what do I do when I mess up my day. It started so great... I didnât hit snooze... I did my NUI work... but then I went on Facebook and spent the rest of the morning bouncing around on my phone. How do I get back on track?â  Answer: This happens to everyone. Donât worry, youâre not a failure. Whatâs important is⦠If you get OFF track... You MUST get back ON track as soon as possible. No moping. No beating yourself up. No switching from one bad behavior (like scrolling & snoozing â aka âscroozingâ) to another (like stress-eating donuts) to help you âfeel betterâ. Instead, use your emotional self-discipline to make the right rational decision. Look for the quickest victory you can get to return to normal and helpful habits. Learn from the past mistake but don't dwell on it. When you learn from a past mistake that means: a) You build a system that makes the wrong move more difficult... Toss the toxicity from life and eliminate distractions and destroyers (âbuild a fence around yourself to keep out the wolvesâ) b) You identify supportive sets of behaviors and circuit breakers that make the right actions automatic (âmake the path to success as smooth as possibleâ) c) You share your future behavior goals with a coach or accountability buddy who holds you accountable. Someone who reminds you that no matter how late it is... You always still have time to save the day. Even if you overeat at dinner... Thereâs always a better way to end the day... Look to leave each day with a victory. For example... It could be writing in a gratitude journal... saying a prayer... prepping your first meal the next day to start the day right... And of course, making sure your workstation is set-up so that you get into your #1 task as quickly as possible. You can salvage any situation... And then when you wake up in the morning you must start the day right. For example... My long-time client Lloyd told me how heâd gone three stressful weeks of skipping workouts and not eating well... âLetâs get back on track with one simple healthy habit,â I said. âDonât think youâre going to wake up at 3am and go to the gym for 2 hours and then survive on 1500 calories a day. Thatâs a recipe for falling OFF track.â âInstead, just set yourself up with a smoothie. Thatâs it.â âGet up. Throw protein, a banana, some blueberries, some spinach, water, and ice into the blender. Then go for a walk. Thatâs how heroes get back on track â one step at a time.â âIf you do that first thing then you'll be able to keep the momentum going all day.â *** Bottom line... When you learn to get back on track with the least wasted time possible... When you learn to âswitch at willâ from the vicious loop to the virtuous cycle... Youâll never have a âlost dayâ... Youâll win every morning... And youâll crush at the game of life.
