Happy labor day all! Hope you all had a great long weekend. I made a video out of the content we had for Fridays WeightWatchers workshop. Reminder if you are a memeber, we do this every Friday at 10:30 EST.
About 6 years ago I read the book Upstream by Dan Heath. He quoted a man named W. Edwards Deming “Systems are designed to get the results they get”. That stuck with me for health related behaviors.
Now, I hear some version of this often "I care about my health, so why don't I stay on track?"
The short version: motivation probably isn’t the problem you have been lead to believe. The longer version is that your system is not designed to support your good intentions. The solution is not more motivation, it’s to change your system.
In this week's video, I walk through the full model, including an eleven question diagnostic you can run on yourself. It'll tell you exactly which part of your system needs attention.
