Identity Over Circumstances
Manage episode 489857607 series 3549977
Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I'll start my workout routine when things calm down" or "I'll eat healthier after vacation"? This episode tackles the hidden mindset trap that might be sabotaging your wellness journey.
What if the key to lasting habits isn't about finding more time or waiting for perfect conditions, but about fundamentally shifting how you view yourself? I explore the powerful difference between conditional thinking and identity-based thinking—a perspective shift that has transformed my own wellness journey and those of countless clients.
Conditional thinking ties your healthy habits to external circumstances: "I'll exercise if I have time" or "I'll eat better when work isn't so busy." The problem? Life rarely serves up those perfect conditions. Identity-based thinking, however, starts with who you are: "I'm someone who moves my body regularly because it makes me feel strong" or "I fuel my body with foods that support my energy, regardless of where I am."
This mindset shift helps you break free from the all-or-nothing trap that derails so many wellness journeys. It keeps you grounded in your why and creates flexibility without excuses. I share practical steps to implement this shift in your daily life—starting with one habit, defining the identity behind it, and creating affirming statements that reinforce who you're becoming.
Ready to transform how you approach your health habits? This episode gives you the mindset tools to make lasting changes, even in the midst of life's inevitable chaos. Remember: small shifts equal big results. Hit play, and let's start building habits that stick because they're aligned with who you truly are.
