Are you still looking forward to the day that you’ll be lean and fit?
Do you tell yourself that you’ll start living healthy tomorrow? Or next week?
After you’ve had just one more pizza dinner and one more lazy day on the couch…
Then you’ll commit yourself to eat healthily and exercising daily, right?
It’s time to realize that this way of thinking is a sneaky little trap. One that has fooled all of us at some point.
You see, when you put off healthy living to some designated day in the future, you’re putting the responsibility of action on your future self. Tricky, since your future self doesn’t even exist yet.
Only you, in the present moment, are capable of making action happen.
Being fit and lean is the result of thousands of healthy choices – all made in the present moment.
So give your future (fictional) self a break and start making real, tangible progress towards your goal – right now, in this moment.
When you are eating, pay attention.
Sounds simple, but how often do you snack in front of the T.V. or eat your dinner while in rush hour traffic?
Paying attention means eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full. It means never eating just to eat, but rather because your body needs it.
Do this and you will quickly reach your ideal weight.
