It’s all good and well to say you’re going to eat more healthily, and a whole other ballgame to actually follow through and do it. This is even harder to accomplish if you happen to be going through a mental funk, which is something that happens to all of us from time to time. So how do you get yourself out of that hole? Here are some steps you can take to get back on track.

Go to Sleep Earlier

One great thing you can do is to switch up your routine, which can be accomplished by going to sleep a tad earlier than you’re used to. Not only will this shake up your internal rhythm, but you’ll feel more well-rested when you wake up.

Focus on One Day of the Week

Instead of making major declarations that you’re going to eat better all the time, just focus on doing it for just one day out of the week. This is an easier commitment that you can definitely wrap your head around, and the best part? You’ll start to see how good it feels, which will make you want to merge those habits into the rest of the week.

Love Yourself

When you’re in a funk, it can be easy to feel sorry for yourself and mope around all day. But it’s crucial not to feel down and judge yourself harshly. You’re human, after all, so make sure to love yourself and pat yourself on the back. You’ll get out of this eventually, but try to make yourself feel good in the meantime.
