You are a victim of your habits (a thread)
Habits are things you do repeatedly
They're usually unconscious
You might think you WANT to do these things
But that's not true - and they're ruining your life

The chaos of the world has you feeling stressed and anxious
When you're stressed, you want to eat more
So you reach for another handful of chips or another beer
"Just this once", you tell yourself
Harmless, right? Well...

Soon, that "one-time thing" turns into an every day thing
You plop down on the couch with a six pack and a family size bag of Doritos every afternoon
After a few days, you don't even think about it anymore
It's just something you do
Just a harmless way to relax...

At some point, you notice you're not feeling so great
You feel tired and sore
You're not sleeping well
You can't think straight

You take a long look in the mirror and realize you've changed
You step on the scale and see you've gained 20lbs

Frustrated with yourself, you decide to turn your life around
You get up early the next morning and go for a run
It's harder than you thought it'd be
You then go to the store and avoid the chips and beer
Your brain screams "I WANT IT" like a little child

In those moments, you're fighting your own brain
Your brain has gotten used to the habitual chips and beer
It's not used to exercising and eating better
It actively resists these changes

At this stage, you have a choice
You can give in to your brain and go back to your habits
OR
You can push through the discomfort and change your ways
Please pick the second option, because...

Just like how you can quickly form a bad habit
You can quickly form a good habit
Your brain will get used to your better decisions
It'll WANT to make those healthier choices
All it takes is you being aware and pushing through the discomfort of change
