Put your right foot in and your left foot out...

Everyone loves to do the electric slide. In the summer people love to get on water slides.  The best way to present a power point presentation is through a slide show. The only slide that people don’t like to talk about is the infamous backslide. Yes backsliding is the worst of all slides because although it may satisfy an immediate need, it comes with major consequences. Also, you may have worked so hard to break an old habit that when you find yourself in a familiar situation you feel disappointed. Backsliding is awful, but even the best people find themselves doing it. It can be eating a piece of chicken in the middle of a vegetable fast or breaking out in a cursing tirade when somebody makes you really really upset. It can even be more serious like engaging in acts that go against your faith and almost to the edge of hypocrisy. The trick is not to set goals for yourself that are unachievable because you are setting yourself up to do the hookie pookie, I mean to backslide. Take baby steps into your transition. Cold turkey methods do not work for everyone. Most importantly give yourself time to develop healthy habits because it took you a long time to enjoy/create the old ones. And even if you slide after a major change just remember every day is a new day to get it right. So put your right foot in even when your left foot maybe out, but just dont do the hookie pookie unless you have a permenant dance partner...ha ha ha.
