03 17 do not give up what you want most for what you want right now

What story are you telling yourself about who you are? That you're lazy? That you always fail? That you can't stick with anything? Here's the truth: the most powerful influence on your mind is your core beliefs about your identity. And if those beliefs don't serve you, you'll sabotage every effort to change—not because you're weak, but because you're trying to align with what you believe is true about yourself.
 
The focus for today is:
I am not willing to give up what I want most for what I want right now.
 
Today's message is inspired by Carly Pollack, author of the book: Feed Your Soul: Nutritional Wisdom to Lose Weight Permanently and Live Fulfilled
Carly offers a powerful reframe: if your house is dilapidated and built on a crooked foundation, you don't just slap on new paint. You tear it down to the ground and rebuild from scratch. The same is true for your beliefs. Break them down to the core, decide how you want to view the world, and build up from there. Focus on what you want most—not the process of getting there, which will exhaust you—but the outcome itself. Visualize it. Feel it. Let that vision pull you forward.

RELATED BOOK: Feed Your Soul: Nutritional Wisdom to Lose Weight Permanently and Live Fulfilled

Countless diets, cleanses, and thirty-day challenges are geared to help people lose weight, heal their digestion, and have more energy. Yet these temporary protocols fall short when it comes to true transformation. Nutritionist Carly Pollack lived a vicious cycle of weight ups and downs until trial and error, and over a decade of formal study in health and healing, led her to the insights she has since shared with thousands. This no-nonsense guide will show you how feeding your soul can change your life, your health, and your body.
