The Surprising Reason We Fail to Make Healthy Habits Stick…and it’s not a lack of willpower.

There’s many reasons why you might have set health goals over the years. Complex health conditions, advice from your physician, to feel better and lose a few pounds, or gain, to name a few. As you set out on your journey, it’s normal to reach out in search of answers and sometimes you might find yourself repeatedly grasping for that “secret” answer, or the holy grail of health advice, and when you fail…again…you’re left frustrated, overwhelmed, and ashamed.

You ask yourself “why can’t I just do it?” And the advice you get from the world often mirrors this same junk that you keep putting into your own head. That you don’t have integrity, you need to hustle, if only you would commit, maybe you didn’t manifest it hard enough, you don’t really want it…only reinforcing the negative image you’re already holding onto of yourself. 

Sadly, you keep asking yourself “why can’t I just have some willpower?” But the truth is, willpower doesn’t exist. At least, not in the way you think it does. Our motivation ebbs and flows just like our energy levels, available time, money, and resources. You have too many external and internal factors to consider that enough willpower will never overcome. The biggest mistake I see in the health and wellness, or personal development space, is that it leaves out YOU, as an individual.

We have a hustle culture that needs to take into account chronic illness. We have a corporate culture that needs to take into account neurodivergence. Our medical culture doesn't consider the whole body, including your emotional, mental, and spiritual state. Even alternative health gets it wrong when you need more than just belief in yourself and a green smoothie. The self-care culture doesn't consider the other people who rely on us or influence our mental and emotional environment. You talk and talk and talk yourself through what you "should" do and leave out the stuff that can actually support you. You jump from tactic to tactic, diet to diet, it’s exhausting and is getting you nowhere.

So what’s the answer to make lasting change? It’s to understand your own unique blueprint. This means you take into account WHO you are and HOW you operate in the world so that you can create a solid foundation and supportive ecosystem to make those habits finally stick. 

You do this by understanding the neuroscience involved in making healthy habit change and how your brain fits the mold, or not. You look at how your hormones play a significant role in your adaptations to habit change. And finally, you look at how the right nervous system support can accelerate your success. With this solid foundation you can build a supportive ecosystem to help make healthy changes stick and start healing from the inside out. 

It isn’t the diet or exercise plan or life hack that you choose that matters, it’s the tools you use that make habit changes feel easy and sustainable and make them stick. With an understanding of your unique blueprint, you’ll create a roadmap to success that’s easy, supportive, and consistent.
