Mindset for easy, lifelong health
Most people don’t even bother changing habits that they know are slowing killing them like food choices, smoking or moving their body as little as possible because they don’t know where to start.
They have a mindset that it will be the most difficult thing ever to change.
They think that people who have successfully changed did so because they are good at depriving themselves and have willpower & self-control.
They are disgusted with their own lack of willpower and beat themselves up over it.
Which triggers an emotional response, which their brain now associates with that thing they so desperately want to give up. Without even thinking about it, they feel a drive so deep and powerful to go eat or smoke that thing to cope with that terrible emotion.
Even if they do muster up the willpower and make a change, they feel deprived. A smoker who doesn’t allow themselves to smoke. A junk food junkie who doesn’t allow themselves to down that doughnut.
People who easily & happily change their habits without looking back do so because they change their mindset first.
All change starts from awareness.
People who easily and happily change their life for the healthier spend a lot of time taking stock and responsibility of their current habits.
Sometimes days, sometimes weeks and sometimes year.
So the person who seemingly woke up one day and changed their habits for the better, didn’t actually do that. They spent time changing their mindset first.
