I remember looking in the mirror and being like WTF. I was so unhappy with how I was living my life, constantly making excuses for why I didn't look better, run faster, and feel stronger. I was so wishy-washy about what I even wanted to accomplish that it bled into how I showed up in other areas of my life. For the first time, there was no ‘season' for my training. I had spent years working through the fall season, winter workouts, spring season, and summer tournament season so I was used to everything having a time frame to it and being told when it was time to shift the focus. Creating that structure on my own felt impossible and eventually, I called myself on my bullshit. I never stuck with anything long enough to actually see results. I treated my fitness journey like I was doing stations at a softball practice. Doing each thing for x amount of time before moving to the next station. I started seeing results when I COMMITTED for more than just 30 days. I set goals and focused on where I wanted to be 6, 9, 12+ months down the road. I started asking myself, ‘Where do I want to be this time next year? How do I want to feel every day this time next year?' That mentality unlocked something in me. I showed up every day without stress or pressure to be perfect. I felt like an absolute badass when a few months later I put my progress photos side by side and realized how much had actually changed in such a short period when I went ALL IN.

On today's episode I'm going to share with you my formula for building habits that stick. You're going to want to stick around if you're someone who… Has tried to change your eating behaviors numerous times and just can't seem to stick to it You've tried every diet in the book, from WW to fasting to Keto. You want to live healthier, beyond food! You want to exercise more often, or meditate, but you never seem to stick with it for long. In my experience, there are two key factors to building habits that stick, and I'm going to share the first one with you today, and the second on next week's episode. The first key factor to building habits that stick is that habits must come from your identity. Identity is important for efficiency and belonging, however it has one major pitfall– we often mistakenly believe identity is innate, set in stone, unchangeable. I've always struggled with my weight. I've always had a big appetite. I never follow through on myself. I always self-sabotage. These beliefs affirm who we think we are, and if we think we are destined to overeat or be overweight or self-saotage, we don't bother trying to change it because it's out of our control. But remember, identity is just a set of beliefs and qualities, and beliefs are just thoughts we think are true. The only difference between someone who overeats and someone who doesn't is the habits they've built with food– and those habits were born from their beliefs about themselves. I didn't just make up a new sentence and start repeating it in my bathroom mirror until I believed it. Instead I did the following: I first DECIDED I was not longer going to tolerate overeating. I am the HBIC (Head Bitch In Charge) of my mouth, my choices, and my life so if I am choosing to overeat I am also capable of choosing otherwise. I COMMITTED to that decision. Deciding is something we do once, but commitment is what we do everytime we put something in our mouths. I used the Hunger Scale to learn to recalibrate my hunger signals so I could tell when I was hungry and when I was satisfied. I practiced the thought (which is how we form beliefs– by practicing thoughts) that I am someone who does not overeat. I eat only when I'm hungry. If you haven't already watched my free Eating Without Fear training that teaches you how to use the Hunger Scale in the way I've outlined on the show today, what in the world?!?!

I'd always wanted to be healthy, but I could never be successful long term. I'd have a few good days but I could never maintain it. I'd keep my morning routine for a few days and then fall apart. I'd lose weight but then gain it all back. It wasn't until I turned 40 that it worked. If I reflect on it, the difference was that I COMMITTED to the goal.

A common theme has been over the last few weeks, how to achieve from tasks we really dont want to do? Good news it's quite normal, I have certainly suffered from this. 1) A good morning is likely to lead to a better day, week and month. 2) Plan the night before, Sunday evening particularly important for getting in the zone for the week ahead. 3) Rafa Nadal the ultimate example of benefits of morning and pre-court, on- court routines to build his confidence. 4) I use morning rituals to get in peak state of mind for the day mine is: GELPC What am I Grateful for? What am I Excited about? Who do I Love? What am I Proud of? What am I Committed to? 5) Try 90 mins sprints of work: Uninterpreted focus followed by short 15 mins break try that 3 times during the working day, your productive will accelerate, this worked for me to complete the writing of a very difficult task - writing a book.
This is a good one! It' s one of my favorite topics; this episode discusses the role of agency in creating our life experiences. Guys, it's all about AGENCY! We are agents to ACT (which means we can direct what's going on in our minds), rather than to be acted upon (living by defaults of an unmanaged mind --which I believe is the "natural man"). Questions to ask yourself each morning: (These direct our minds, and create more of the life experiences we want--from Tony Robbins, via Ed Mylett's podcast episode "Unlocking Your Success Code") What am I HAPPY about in my life right now? What about that makes me happy? How does it make me feel? What am I EXCITED about in my life right now? What about that makes me excited? How does it make me feel? What am PROUD of in my life right now? What about it makes me proud? How does it make me feel? What am I am GRATEFUL for in my life right now? What about that make me grateful? How does that make me feel? What am I ENJOYING most in my life right now? What about that do I enjoy? How does it make me feel? What am I COMMITTED to in my life right now? What about that makes me committed? How does it make me feel? Who do I LOVE? Who loves me? What about that makes me loving? How does that make me feel? Questions to ask each evening: What have I given today? In what ways have I been a giver? What did I learn today? How had today added to the quality of my life? How can I use today as an investment in my future?
