Hey! I’ve got SUCH a powerful
message for you today if you’re someone who
struggles with sticking to healthy food or actually taking
the time to move your body…
This ONE word created such a huge shift for me, and I
know it’s going to help you too.
(But first, before we get into it, if you’ve been thinking
about getting some extra support with your nutrition,
simply reach out. Coaching opportunities are limited, so
if you’re interested, simply email me the word DECEMBER.)
Okay, back to the powerful message I wanted to share
with you… It’s about your mindset … and how changing
ONE WORD in your self-talk can change your entire
outlook.
So, let’s say you’re at a big holiday party and you’ve
just finished eating dinner. You’re comfortably full and
feel great… and then you notice they are serving
dessert. You know that after you eat it, you won’t feel
so great. In fact, you’ll feel blah, bloated, and ready for
a major nap! And that’s just in the short term. You also
know that stacking dessert on top of a big meal won’t
help you meet your goals.
At that moment, what do you tell yourself?
“I can’t eat dessert” … or … “I won’t eat dessert
tonight.”
Those two statements might sound similar but they are
180 degrees apart in mindset. Hear me out.
“I can’t” means someone or something else is in charge
of your behavior or thoughts.
“I won’t” means that YOU are making a DELIBERATE
CHOICE.
“I won’t” gives you POWER. It helps you set clear
boundaries that you are in charge of.
And it can completely revamp your approach to using
willpower because it takes it out of the question.
Try saying these statements out loud to yourself and
feel the difference. Here they are:
I won’t stay up till 1 a.m. when I have to work the next
day.
I won’t skip my scheduled workouts.
I won’t eat processed foods.
Scientific research shows that making the shift to an “I
won’t” vs “I can’t” mindset can make a real difference in
changing your behavior.
Pretty mind-blowing, right? Try it yourself. You have
absolutely nothing to lose.
