Why "I Have To" Could Be Holding You Back
Dec 17, 2024
When it comes to weight loss, how often do you catch yourself thinking "I HAVE to eat these vegetables" or "I HAVE to plan my meals for the week"?
We say this all the time in life, our brains love routine and comfort.
Which means any time we introduce new habits or push out of our comfort zone, our brains see it as a disruption and try to resist it.
That's when "I have to" thoughts sneak in.
But here's a mindset shift that will make a big difference: What if, instead of saying "I HAVE to," you said "I GET to"?
When you start to frame it that way, these habits become privileges, not obligations.
- "I get to eat these healthy fresh vegetables" reminds us not everyone has access to fresh vegetables
- "I get to meal prep" becomes an opportunity to set yourself up for success
- "I get to take time for mobility exercises" feels like a way to care for your future self
This simple shift doesn't just feel more empowering, it actually makes it easier to stick with your routines, especially when life gets hectic.
Instead of finding reasons to skip healthy habits, you start looking forward to them.
So, here are some questions for you today:
What habits do you get to practice this week?
How are they making your life better?
How do they make you feel about yourself?

As a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner, I run functional lab work to help identify HIDDEN stressors and dysfunctions that are downgrading health and creating or contributing toĀ Metabolic Chaosā„¢, which describes what's going on inside that is producing unwanted symptoms.
Once healing opportunities are identified through carefully selected labs and a thorough history, only then can individualized, time-honored natural protocols be recommended that will change how well the body functions. When improvements are made, true healing occurs.
I am opening up 5 coaching opportunities at the end of August, at the lowest cost possible.
I don't want you to miss this healing opportunity.
