Episode 64: How to make decisions for your future self: The secret behind my devotion to health
Do you think about how your choices today are affecting a future version of you? So many people ask me how I stay so “disciplined” and motivated with my healthy lifestyle, and I’m sharing something deeper on this subject today. It’s not discipline, it’s devotion to my future self. In this episode I talk about how the habits you create will compound to create the life you dream of. It’s not about luck…it’s about choice.
I discuss…
• How witnessing the end of my grandpa’s life reminded me of the importance of health • The delay between the choice you make now and the effect you have later • Why you struggle to stick with “healthy” habits • The power of compounding habits • Do you give up right before it works? • Extremes vs moderate habits • The unfortunate reality of our “instant gratification” generation • How to collapse time to make choices for your future self • Creating your future self avatar • How I thought of my future self when I was healing my relationship with food • How to avoid a purist mindset and perfectionism • How much wiggle room do we have for less ideal choices? • Becoming more sensitive to the subtle effects of your choices • How I stopped overeating every night by becoming more sensitive
