Keeping Habits & (Trying to) Eat Better
I still struggle with my daily habits. But since i keep a daily habit checklist, i kinda make myself always aware of these things i wanna get done everyday and what i wanna work on. i skip some days. but what i think is really important is more of the fact that you get right back on track the following day. or as soon as you can. Once you skip a habit, dont make it a new habit to NOT do it. I read from the book Atomic Habits. That is life. You dont wanna hate yourself or think you are a failure once you do not get something done. Cuz life happens. The one thing you can do is to get right back to it, as soon as you can.
I have been trying to eat as clean as possible. However, not like im trying to make excuses for myself but sometimes there are cheat meals. Mine apparently turned out to be two weeks worth of cheat meals, meaning a bunch of desserts and a bunch of fatty food. I still avoid deep fried food though. I realised that they give me migraines very easily so i havent been having things like fried chicken or calamari in a big while. Instead, Ive been having lots of ice creams, cakes, fatty beef chunks, lots of butter and cheese, potatoes, naan bread, for the past two weeks. Then one day, my scalp became super itchy. I’d be scratching till it starts to bleed. I used to have issue with scalp before too but i didnt think it had anything to do with food and more my scalp being allergic to the shampoos i was using or the fact that i would shower with hot water. Might have dried it out. But once i got a bit older, i started to realise that whatever we consume, it plays a very big part in how we feel both physically and emotionally in any given day. People in general dont think too much of it maybe because their bodies dont react to the foods like the way some people do. Like me, im probably one of those who get pretty sensitive to these things. So it means im gonna need to be more mindful about it. We just need to learn to live with it and not to take it as some kind of obstacles in life…
