Week 5: Lifestyle Changes (Diet)

Imagine you could choose to completely eliminate one activity from your calendar. What would you choose to give up and why?

Next, consider the reasons that immediately come to mind about why you continue doing this activity:

- Are they necessary activities or responsibilities like providing food, shelter, etc. to your family?

- Are they activities that you feel you ‘should’ do or are guilted into doing by someone else?

- Are they activities that you feel pressured to participate in so that you and your family don’t miss out or fall behind?

- Are they activities that you feel you have to complete because no one else will be able to do them well enough?

- Or something else?
