I used to think healthy habits stuck because people were disciplined.
Now I think a lot of the time theyâre simply easier.
I nearly always have a few healthy ready meals in the freezer.
I keep a couple of protein shakes in the fridge.
I put water in the fridge before I need it.
I keep things where Iâll actually see them.
None of these things are particularly impressive.
Theyâre just small ways of making the healthy choice easier when life gets busy.
The more I coach, the more I think people focus on the wrong problem.
Most people already know they should move more, eat more protein, drink more water and get better sleep.
The challenge isnât knowing what to do.
The challenge is making those things happen on a random Tuesday when work is busy, the kids need something, youâre tired and life gets in the way.
Thatâs why so much of my coaching isnât really about nutrition or exercise.
Itâs about building little systems that make the behaviours more likely to happen.
Because every time you can remove a decision, reduce a bit of friction or get your environment working for you, the habit becomes easier to repeat.
And habits that are easier to repeat tend to be the ones that stick.
I canât be the only one who does weird little things like this.
Whatâs yours?
