Experiment

If you’re stuck and not sure what to do next, experiment!

Don’t put pressure on yourself to find the right way immediately. Simply commit to the process of learning. :)

Genetics and age matter, but…

…you have so much within your control before reaching those limitations.

Epigenetic expression is how your choices—environment, habits, stress, nutrition, sleep, etc.—switch certain genes “on” or “off.”

Blaming genetics can be tempting as the easy way out—owning the rest means taking responsibility but also puts the power back in your hands.

You have 2 choices:

1) be uncomfortable staying the same, or

2) be uncomfortable leveling up.

Staying the same feels safe and familiar, and our brain’s number one priority is to stay safe.

But eventually there is a tipping point where staying the same feels harder.

Replace frustration with curiosity

Okay it sounds annoying, but we can train ourselves to look at obstacles as opportunities.

We can complain, or we can accept and adapt.

What’s a frustration you could look at with more curiosity?

Examples:

• Ugh my weight is up again! → Hmm, why is my weight up again?

• I’m totally off track again today, what is wrong with me! → What’s not working? How can I plan for tomorrow?

• I have sooo far to go, I’m never going to reach my goal… → How can I put one foot in front of the other today?
