How to Make Healthy Habits Stick for Good!

Imagine this: You’re super pumped to start working out and make a positive change in your life. You set your alarm early, lace up your running shoes, and hit the gym like a rockstar. But then life gets in the way – late nights, vacations, and suddenly, your attempts at creating a healthy habit start to feel like every other failed try. So, what’s the deal?

Understanding Behavior Psychology with Nate Green

Recently, I had the chance to chat with Nate Green, a fitness expert who’s been featured on Tim Ferriss’s blog and Men’s Health. Nate shared some wisdom on why we often fail at making lasting changes. He believes it’s because we don’t truly understand the psychology behind our behaviors. We set high expectations, get super ambitious, and then wonder why things fell apart.

Nate delves into how we can actually make changes that stick. He breaks it down into simple steps – understanding the basics, acquiring necessary skills, breaking them down into manageable practices, and making them so easy that anyone can do it. He shared a valuable insight – starting small is the key to building success over time.

Start Small, Think Big!

• Instead of aiming for the stars, start with a tiny change like going to the gym once a week.
• Assess your current confidence level on a scale of 1 to 10. If it’s less than 7, shrink the goal until it feels easy.
• Consistency is key – focus on that one small habit until it becomes second nature.

It may seem like a small step, but going to the gym once a week adds up to 52 workouts in a year – a huge improvement for someone who started from zero. Over time, these small changes transform your life in ways you never imagined.

Remember, creating consistency in your habits is the first step towards success. Keep it simple, build that foundation, and watch as everything falls into place. You’ve got this!
