Peak Performance Life Podcast EPI 38: Changing Your Belief System & Identity Around Health
I’m in the process of writing a book! This has been a long road and process, but I’m very excited to share the introduction and first chapter with you. You are the ultimate insider in this process so let me know if there is anything you’d like to see in a book all about peak performance and health.
Be prepared to start strong with this book. Living a healthy life requires dedication to making good decisions about diet, exercise, supplements, and personal development. Step one, start to identify as someone who lives healthfully.
Do you smoke?
Hopefully the answer to that question is no. If that’s the case, then when someone offers you a cigarette, what do you say? Most likely the answer to that question is, “I don’t smoke.” You’ve internalized the identity of a non-smoker so deeply that it’s an automatic response to say that you simply don’t smoke.
This same process can and should be applied to your identity as it relates to health.
This is just one amazing nugget from this snippet of the book. Listen in to hear more of them and hear the action steps I’m giving you at the end of chapter 1.
