Hey friends 😃 I have shared about this before, but it keeps coming across my social media feeds so i wanted to dive in again today. One of the strongest correlates to sustainable weight loss (and health transformation) is an identity change around who you are. It has come up more than a handful of times in the weight loss literature in that last 15 years, and from both personal experience and working with over 150 clients, I can tell you it's true. So, how does one actually change their identity to become fit, energetic, vitalistic, and lose weight for good? Here is a 3 step framework: 1. Create a wellness vision. Having a compelling vision for your health and life helps you identify where you are going and how you will get there. 2. Tie your health to your values. Everyone has different values, and everyone acts in accordance with their top values. Tying your health and fitness to living in alignment with your values will help you shift your identity and have you embracing the process, because it will help you do more of the things you enjoy with the people you love 3. Surround yourself with others on a similar path. Having a community is one of the most overlooked components to living a healthy life. That's what this group is all about - a place for us to share wins, challenges, opportunities, and more - to help each other live inspired and thriving lives. Ultimately, the way we see ourselves will dictate who we become. Choose the path of health and vitality and watch your life transform 💚 -Michael
