Feels like the only constant thing these days is change.
We’re moving houses + our baby daughter’s schedule changes every week (sometimes every day!)
Just when I think I’ve got a routine down, the game changes again.
“I’d figure this out if things stayed put!”
Even for the most determined, frequent changes can throw us off balance.
Our brains seek patterns and resist change.
And that becomes a big obstacle to our health journey.
Things will change.
The Dilemma of Change
We don’t like change, so we often realize things too late.
We wait until the pain of not changing becomes unbearable.
Our bodies show signs of illness or disease.
We often believe we have ample time and ignore our health concerns.
Procrastination is a dangerous trap.
It’s not easy to break, but you must disrupt this habit for your well-being.
The Mental Barrier to Change
Breaking this mental barrier is a challenge.
Tricking our brains into accepting change is tough, especially when it involves our comfort zones.
Our mind is a powerful tool, but it can also be a roadblock to making vital health changes.
Overcoming this resistance is essential to take control of your health.
Overcoming Resistance to Change
Make the absence of change more painful than change itself.
Find ways to make your unhealthy habits more discouraging.
If you’re not exercising enough, make each missed workout painful.
Some people experience joint pain or illness, while others may use strategies like paying a penalty for not working out.
Creating Painful Motivation
Creating painful motivation is about finding what works for you.
There are many ways to create this kind of incentive, but the key is to find the best one foryou.
This approach is not about punishing yourself, but about creating a stronger desire forchange.
It’s a powerful tool to push you towards a healthier lifestyle.
Find your motivation and embrace change.
This journey is about creating a compelling reason to change.
It’s about committing to your health and well-being. There’s no universal solution.
Your journey is unique, and that’s okay.
What matters is embracing change for a healthier, more fulfilling life
