Does anyone have any suggestion around distractions or ways to deal with guilt, nerves or negative thoughts when dealing with eating or not reaching my targeted step goal?


Also anyone know ways to raise step counts when at school or when busy or at home?

Regarding your questions:

  • Does anyone have any suggestion around distractions
    or ways to deal with guilt,
    nerves or negative thoughts when dealing with eating
    or not reaching my targeted step goal?

    -For negative thoughts, here's an Ai tool

  • Also anyone know ways to raise step counts
    when at school or when busy or at home?

    - Get up often and move when possible rather than sit.

    - For example, move while brushing teeth.

    - Find ways to trigger getting up to move.
    Like when you brush your teeth let that also trigger you to walk.
    Like when your water cup is empty, let that trigger you to get up and refill it.
    Like when a video is playing, let that trigger you to get up an move while watching it.

    - Get or somehow make stand up desk (with a box maybe)
    so you can view your pc or mobile phone while standing and moving in place.

    - You can walk in place or do other moves (side to side or squats)
    while standing and watching a pc or mobile phone.
    - You can also listen to music to make it more fun.

It is hard sometimes to reach a step goal and life can get in the way .... i try to fit in steps by for example making 2 minutes a hour to walk in place (Work or home.)... and when i miss it .... tomorrow is another opportunity .....
