Food for thought this morning… Most people think discipline is what gets results. But if you look closer, it’s actually environment that makes or breaks us.
- Put a bowl of candy on the counter? You’ll eat it.
- Fill your fridge with fresh food? You’ll eat that instead.
- Keep your phone next to your bed? You’ll scroll until 1AM.
- Leave a book on your pillow? You’ll read instead of doomscroll.
It’s wild how often we blame ourselves for a “lack of willpower” when really we just set ourselves up to fail by surrounding ourselves with the wrong triggers.
Quick confession: I used to keep soda in the fridge thinking I’d “only drink it occasionally.” Occasionally = every single day. I don’t even buy it anymore. I haven’t had a soda in 20 years and counting.
The real flex isn’t discipline. It’s designing an environment where the easiest choice is the best choice.
