## Resource

What if you could achieve all of your health goals without using any willpower, discipline, or external motivation? It might sound too good to be true, but there's a surprisingly simple way to do this: Falling in love with your future. Something magical happens when you fall in love with your future: You start to appreciate the mistakes you made (or will make) on your health journey instead of beating yourself up over them. Today's guest, Scott, experienced this first-hand: After retiring and moving to Hawai'i with his husband, the luxurious life caught up to his belly. One day, he looked in the mirror and hardly recognized himself because he gained so much weight. Instead of beating himself up over it or worrying how he'll find the discipline to be consistent enough to lose the weight, Scott remembered to fall in love with his future. Since that moment he looked in the mirror, Scott's done a complete 180. He started yoga and eating right. As his momentum grew, he started resistance training. And today, he's continually tinkering and integrating healthier micro habits into his daily life. Scott comes loaded with helpful tips and tricks, mindset shifts, and ways to approach your fitness and health from a new perspective. Here's what Scott and I discuss: The micro habits Scott built to lose weight in retirement How to eliminate the need for discipline and sacrifices when becoming healthier How to create your own philosophies that can hold you up when accountability, discipline, and motivation fail And more, including… The spiritual mindset shift Scott went through after not recognizing himself in his mirror (and how this enabled him to be consistent without discipline) (3:11) The slow and insidious postural destruction that happens when you sit at a desk for work all day…
