MINDSET
Examine your current limiting beliefs around health. Think about all the pain these disempowering beliefs continue to give you and will give you in the future. How will you look 5-10-20 years from now if you continue to hold these beliefs. When you are ready to leverage the pain, create a more empowering belief. A belief like the past does not equal the future will go great lengths in serving you on your health journey.
Change your language habits. Don't use the word diet and instead assume a new identity. "This is how I eat now" instead of "I am on ____ diet". Utilize the phrase 'I don't" instead of "I can't".
Remember the 80/20 principle. 80 percent of what you eat should be clean foods, the rest whatever you choose. This principle can be applied to many stretches of time- 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 1 lifetime! This gives you the freedom to live and the freedom to easily get back on track when you fall off the wagon.
