Change your thoughts, change your life

There’s ONE thing you can change that has a surprising impact on your health, mood, and pretty much everything you do!

It isn’t a workout and it doesn’t involve overhauling your diet.

It’s your thoughts — and they’re super important because you have thousands and thousands of them every single day, playing a role in your mindset, your productivity, and your self-image.

In fact, your brain cranks out between 6,000 (according to a study in Nature) and 70,000 (according to the Cleveland Clinic) thoughts every single day.

That’s a LOT of thoughts. And the wild thing is, most of them run on autopilot. 

Now imagine if even a FRACTION of those thoughts is negative.

That means you’re facing a daily barrage of messages telling you that you’re not going to succeed, that you don’t measure up, that you’re not good enough, and on and on it goes.

AND… if you’re like most people, you’ve been hearing those messages for so long that you don’t even notice them anymore. They just become the “background noise” in your brain.

How TRAGIC is that? 

In the words of Dr. Wayne Dyer: Change your thoughts, change your life. 

So here’s a reminder to start tuning into what’s going on inside your head…

And begin to replace any negative thoughts whenever you become aware of them.

Your motivation and mindset will send you a HUGE thank you — and you’ll gradually start to feel more empowered, more content, and more focused… one thought at a time!

The last supper effect (and how it hurts your diet)

RELATABLE STORY AHEAD 🙈!

Let’s say you decide it’s time to finally (re)start a healthy lifestyle, so you pick a date to begin. You’ve got it all planned out: You’ll work out, eat better, drink more water, go to bed early, and do all the things.

And before the big day gets here, you make sure you eat ALL your favorite foods … 

Because you’re not going to be “allowed” to eat them once your new routine kicks in.

And you DO eat them. Because… yum.

#facepalm 

There’s a name for that: Last Supper-ing.

And there are TWO BIG REASONS it gets in the way of your results! 

FIRST, just on a practical basis, loading up on all your favorites can lead to weight gain, pushing you even farther from your goals — before you even get a chance to work on them.

But SECOND (and even more importantly), this kind of thinking helps cement an all-or-nothing attitude towards food.

That’s when you label some foods as “good” and others as “bad” — and it can make it almost impossible to stick with your routine because it’s not sustainable in the long term.

Example: What if your favorite food is pizza, and suddenly you 1) can’t have pizza and 2) don’t want to think about pizza?

The first thing you do is immediately start thinking about PIZZA, am I right? 

And then you start craving it.

A better approach: Finding a solution that works for you long-term and that actually INCLUDES your favorite foods (in moderation), so nothing is ever completely “off-limits.”

Which approach do you use? Personally, I used to be approach 1--all or nothing, good and bad. I have since switched to approach 2 and am much happier.

If you’re ready to kickstart a healthy routine so you can start feeling how they want to feel without feeling deprived...
