We’ve talked a lot recently about ‘reps’.

Not of the exercise type (although they are cool too).

But just about getting the repetitions in at stuff we want to get better at.

Getting the reps in at booking sessions.

Getting the reps in at turning up for those booked sessions.

Getting the reps in at making better food choices.

Getting the reps in at things that might help with our sleep.

Or our stress levels and mood.

Realising that we start by being pretty rubbish at anything.

And practice ourselves onto mediocre, through to ok and, maybe, eventually, pretty good.

All through reps.

Just doing some of it, even if we don’t feel like it.

And getting a little better at it each time.

More reps can be the answer.

But so can less reps.

Where in our lives would we benefit from getting less reps in?

Some might seem obvious?

Less reps of snacking, maybe?

Less reps of drinking alcohol, perhaps?

Less reps of those extra few hours binge watching that means we don’t get enough sleep?

Maybe we keep those reps in and get less somewhere else?

Still snack, but get less reps of breakfast in?

Still watch or favourite programmes but do less reps of something else so that starts and ends earlier?

Still have a drink (or several) but less reps of calorie intake elsewhere to ‘balance the books’.

Where can you get less reps in?

Much love,
