If you want to know your future, look no further than what you're doing today. Your daily habits are already shaping your future health, wealth, and every other aspect of your life. We are what we consistently do.
If we exercise regularly and nourish our bodies with whole foods, we will be lean and fit. If we consume highly processed foods and sugary drinks, we can expect disease and illness down the road. If we save and invest wisely, we secure financial stability, but if we live paycheck to paycheck, financial struggles are inevitable.
So why would anyone choose habits that lead to future suffering? Sometimes, it’s simply because we don’t know any different—until now. Now, you have the power to make a change.
Breaking the Cycle of Self-Sabotage
Through years of working with hundreds of individuals to improve their health and fitness, I’ve seen a common pattern: self-sabotage. Many people start building better habits that will help them live longer, healthier lives, only to derail their progress. Why? Because deep down, they don’t believe they deserve better.
Somewhere in their subconscious mind, they’ve developed the belief that they are not worthy of success, happiness, or health. So, they unconsciously sabotage their progress, keeping themselves in a place that aligns with their limiting beliefs.
This may sound strange, but I’ve seen it time and time again. You cannot rise higher than what you truly believe about yourself.
How to Break Free
Changing these deep-seated beliefs isn’t easy, but it can be done. The first step is recognizing your tendency to self-sabotage. Once you identify the pattern, you can choose differently.
Start by changing the narrative in your mind. When you catch yourself thinking thoughts of doubt or worry, replace them with a new, empowering truth:
- “I am strong.”
- “I am capable.”
- “I am worthy.”
Beyond shifting your mindset, surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. Seek out those who focus on growth and positivity rather than negativity and complaints. Negative people drain your energy—distance yourself from them.
Immerse yourself in uplifting content. Listen to inspiring podcasts, read personal development books, and fill your mind with messages of growth and success. If your social media feed is filled with negativity, drama, or political arguments, take control. Either step away from social media or intentionally curate your feed. Engage with content related to fitness, health, mindset, finances, and leadership. Within a week, your algorithm will shift, and your feed will begin serving you instead of draining you.
Your Challenge
I challenge you to take action. Change the story you tell yourself. Surround yourself with positive influences. Only consume content that helps you grow. Small daily changes will compound into a radically different future. The choice is yours—make it a good one.
