Do you have a set of healthy habits you fall back on regularly to stay in the zone? What are they and why are they helpful? Do you use them to counter a negative habit?

What is the ideal mindset you always want to be in?

I've mentioned before I'm addicted to candy and once I start eating it I'll binge eat it. My mom had a problem with it when I was growing up, and she showed her love through sweets and food because she wasn't "present" when I was growing up. She struggled with anorexia and then would binge eat candy. I noticed that candy addiction became a big problem for me. So now I don't keep it around at all, though holidays tend to trigger it. I've replaced the bad habit with walks during the idling time I might be thinking about candy (assuming the weather is decent), or I'll put frozen berries in a bowl of milk and wait until the milk freezes around the berries, and eat those. Sometimes I'll have flavorful tea too.
