You’re Not the Problem—Your Assumptions Are

Week 02: Holiday Walking Challenge. What if I told you the reason your health feels so hard isn’t your diet, your workouts, or your willpower… it’s your assumptions.

Health doesn’t have to cost extra money.

You don’t have to do it perfectly.

Your body is not the problem.

The destination is never the goal.

Slow is fast.

Small habits outweigh big effrots.

Movement is medicine, not punishment.

Doing the hard makes life easy.

I teach a lot about the backwards laws of life. The backward law explains why we don’t always get what we work so hard for. And it has nothing to do with your body and everything to do with the approach you take with your body, your mind, and your soul.

Honestly, humans put a lot of effort into something they have little control over, which is probably why it feels so exhausting. When we try to control what we’re not meant to control, we miss the things we actually can influence.

When you focus on what you can control, life becomes easier (or a lot less complicated).

I’m rambling… But I bring this up to help you see that one of the most defining aspects of your health is your assumptions.

Your assumptions become your story.

The best news of all is that your assumptions are completely in your control.

You choose your assumptions, and that means you can rechoose them.

I know you want to be told what to eat to guarantee weight loss, but when has that really worked? I’m not only human, and I know our human tendencies because I live them. But I’ve also been in this space long enough to know that following someone else’s plan never works because it eliminates your story.

The way to change is to first confront this story, shift the premise, and from that, you can shift your actions.

Spoiler alert: Next year, my desire is to walk you through this! I’m excited to bring you a new approach to living well.

For now, I want to talk about your assumptions because they are quietly shaping your story, your actions, and, ultimately, your outcomes.

You are what you assume you are.

Your assumptions are quietly shaping your perception. What you assume about yourself influences how you interpret your experiences.

For example, if you assume you’re “not a morning person,” you probably won’t be. You’ll skip out on morning walks, workouts, and quiet time, all to reinforce that belief.
