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

Episode Synopsis

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..
