We all can remember or if you are too old to remember, imagine a young child being peer pressured into doing something they didn't want to do. However in the adult world, peer pressure still exists.
I have never been a drinker. But at 42, I still have friends that want to be the ones to get me drunk for the first time.
But not all peer pressure needs to focus on a negative behavior. Yesterday, my work mates and I set out some rules for weight loss to challenge ourselves to focus on our behaviors to increase the likelihood of success. We will weigh in weekly to monitor our progress.
A couple of usefull tips when trying to manage a behavior.
- make a public declaration
- be accountable
- have SMART goals
- reassess if needed.
