I read an excellent article on the importance of environment, awareness & action over knowledge.
I’m sharing 3 important take-away’s that could lead to your own inch loss!
1. Knowledge doesn’t always transfer into action. We can be schooled on nutrition, health and fitness, but if we’re not taking action to do the work required to see results to improve our health and fitness, that knowledge isn’t helping our situation. The article stated sometimes people mistake knowledge as the most important indicator of success. Take-away: ACTION is the more important indicator of reaching results!
2. Environment plays a larger factor than willpower & knowledge. You can have the most determined person in the world, but if that person is in an environment that doesn’t support your goal, that you’ll have a hard time succeeding.
Examples:
Plate size matters. You mean to eat less, but you want to fill your plate so it looks like you’re getting a good amount of food. Fact: By having smaller plates, you can fill your plate and consume less calories without even thinking about it! Establish which plate you can begin using to help you hit your goal! If you don’t have one in your home, buy one this week!
Dish out and prep serving sizes. Fact: When you portion out your food, you’re less likely to mindlessly consume more than you mean to eat.
Portion out everything that you can! Get out snack-size baggies to fill with your chips , pretzels, cookies, crackers, popcorn, etc. Even do this with your healthier foods such as carrots, celery, grape tomatoes, raw almonds, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, etc.
3. Awareness is more important than knowledge. You can know every nutrient in food, know how many calories are in foods, but if you’re not aware of the amounts you’re actually eating, that knowledge can’t help you reach your goal.
How can you have awareness?
In my BodyGym Challenge we track points for 7 simple strategies and our point total is based on how well we do them. This gives us the AWARENESS of where we need to do better or why we’re doing so great.
Tracking our actions and daily accountability through my online private Facebook challenge leads to weekly results! Who doesn’t want to see success on a weekly basis?!?!?
Implement these three concepts to create your own success. Better yet, let me help take some of the guess work out of it and join me THIS WEEKEND in the next BodyGym Challenge to start experiencing results!
I’m offering a $10 discount to anyone who signs up before Saturday, June 6. Message me if you’d like that discount vs. signing up on my website!
