There are many factors \u2014 food hyper-palatability, high-stress lifestyles, and confusing misinformation \u2014 are all near the top of the list. But on a purely social level, the desire to chase the next trend is a big part of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

In diet and exercise, consistent movement and healthy eating keeps the doctors (and obesity) away.<\/span><\/p>\n

In social media, doing something new, cool, and different keeps FOMO at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the battle of FOMO (exciting) vs. repeated daily behaviors (boring).<\/span><\/p>\n

In reality, it should be the battle of frustration (look, a new trend!) vs. confidence and results (I know what to do!)<\/span><\/p>\n

The choice should be easy. But, the power of \u201cwhat if\u201d plays tricks on your mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat if\u2026This next trend is better?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if it\u2019s more effective?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if I\u2019ll be healthier?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Your heart dreams of something better, but your mind ignores reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t change jobs every day. You don\u2019t move to a new home every week. You don\u2019t substitute friends and family like socks and underwear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consistency and stability are a big part of what leads to more happiness and less stress. Reliable anchors make it easier to thrive in chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to start asking: <\/span>\u201cWhat if all these distractions are the real reason I\u2019m stuck and headed in the wrong direction?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If you were forced to stick with one plan for a year, you\u2019d see better results, stress less, and save a hell of a lot of time that\u2019s typically wasted window shopping on your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We think doing something new is the missing part of the equation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In reality, doing the same few healthy behaviors \u2014 and making progress over time \u2014 is what adds up to better results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
