Ep. 105: The One Question you Need to Ask yourself before Making any Lifestyle Changes

Whether you’re working towards a weight loss goal, health improvement, or something else..do you ever take the time to consider why you desire the change, and what you’ll get out of it? 

 

Feeling uncomfortable in your body may serve as short-term motivation for wanting to make changes. So say you put on an outfit in the morning, look in the mirror, and you’re just like…”ugh, I need to lose weight”. Maybe you try to eat healthier that morning, maybe you hire a coach that day, or maybe you even commit yourself to a really strict lifestyle change...because you’re trying to take action, right? 

 

Your mind is in the right place...and in this episode I share where you’re likely going wrong, and how you can actually become a pro at creating habit changes that actually stick. 

 

Here are the journal prompts from the episode: 

 

• Why do I want to make changes to my body, or my habits? What’s behind this desire? 
• What’s my overall vision...how will my life change once I make these changes? 
• What does my dream life look like? And who am I as I show up in my dream life?
