Consistency is key
Some people find it easy to adopt new habits, while others, including myself, struggle with it. I explored the science behind habits and decided to become a Certified Consistency Coach™. I learned that our brain prefers familiarity and avoiding change. To make new habits stick, we need to create space, upgrade our mindset, and put in consistent effort. Working with the brain, not against it, is the key to making habit formation easier.
Mindset for Health
Improving your health doesn't have to be complicated. To succeed, focus on your mindset with four key actions. First, prioritize consistency over perfection. Small slip-ups happen, but don't let them derail you. Second, think about how you can make positive changes rather than focusing on limitations. Every little step counts. Third, give yourself permission to prioritize self-care and stress reduction. Health decisions shouldn't be contingent on others' approval. Finally, don't delay starting your health journey. Begin with small steps now rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Make health a non-negotiable priority for lasting well-being.
