Mental scripts: Identify and challenge mental scripts that hinder progress towards goals, such as justifying unhealthy habits or focusing on exceptions to healthy lifestyle
We all have mental scripts or patterns of thought and behavior that may not be serving us well. These scripts can manifest as self-talk or actions that hinder our progress towards our goals. For instance, a script that might not be serving us could be justifying unhealthy eating habits by telling ourselves that we deserve a treat when we go out with friends. Another script could be seeing only the exceptions to our healthy lifestyle and giving in to treats. To change these scripts, we need to identify them and refocus our thoughts and actions towards serving our long-term goals. Remember, it's important to be aware of these scripts and challenge them when they arise, as they may be holding us back from achieving our best selves. So, take some time to reflect on your own scripts and consider how you can reframe them to better serve your goals.
