Episode 50 - How social pressure can affect your health choices and what to do about it.

One of things many of my accountability clients struggle with is the social pressure from others to step out of their health commitments.   This often looks like consuming food or alcohol that is not aligned with their health goals.   I have experienced this myself and know how tough it can be.     This podcast addresses the 'good' and 'bad' social pressures and then gives some strategies to help with sticking to your goals when others try and derail you...  How to respond and stand up for what you believe in: Find like-minded people Explain with confidence and be assertive - no thanks and not for me Think of an excuse Suggest something else to do Avoid certain situations Stand up for others Ask questions of the other person – deflect Be repetitive Consider the results of giving in Seek support – therapy   Enjoy and thank you for listening..
