As we all know, willpower is a limited
resource. I work with my clients on setting up routines and healthy lifestyle
habits so that they don’t have to rely nearly as much on willpower to achieve
their health goals. However, there are situations that we find ourselves in
that are unplanned or outside of our norm, and sometimes, in these situations,
we find it difficult to make good choices.
In these situations, I would encourage you
to visualize making decisions for your future self, instead of your current
self (the one that is currently being tempted).
Your future self will likely have a better
perspective than your current self on the situation, and is more likely to
understand the consequences and rewards of the choices on your goals that your
current self is making.
Try it out! Your future self is often
pretty wise!
