3 Reasons Your Healthy Habits Aren't Working

By Genevieve Cunningham

Healthy habits are key to a good and happy life. When we have healthy habits, things tend to run more smoothly. Our bodies and minds know what to expect. We have routines and meal plans and exercise programs. Healthy habits are so good for us! But there's nothing more frustrating than beginning healthy habits and not seeing results. We feel the same. We look the same. The habits just don't feel worth the effort. If this is you, don't give up yet. Take a look at these reasons why your healthy habits aren't working, followed by some tips to get things moving in the right direction.

You're Not Consistent

Many people are guilty of keeping healthy habits, but not being as consistent as they need to be. Habits work best when we do them every single day. When we skip a day here and there, it's probably OK. But when here and there turns into once or twice every week, it's going to impact our final results. If this is your problem, make sure that consistency is a top priority. Do whatever it takes to stick with the program, and the results will eventually come.

Your Stress is Too Overwhelming

Healthy habits generally work, but excessive stress can drown out the progress. Stress is a silent killer. It affects our health in every way -- physically, emotionally, and mentally. If you have too much stress, address that issue first. Along with keeping your healthy habits, add a habit that deals directly with your stress. This might include leaving work on time, adding a late night walk, or getting regular massages. Once you have your stress under control, it will be easier to see the good of your healthy habits.

You Haven't Give It Enough Time

Everything takes time. Sometimes we get impatient. We want results right now. If you've recently started your healthy habits, you have to give it some time to work. The results won't show up in a day or even a week. It takes time, patience, and dedication to make things work. Give it more time, and you may finally start to see some progress.

Healthy habits aren't always easy, but they're always worth it. Don't get discouraged if your healthy habits and routines aren't producing the results you're after. They will work! The changes will come! Use these tips to get through the tough moments, and your healthy habits will begin to work before you know it.
