When you are looking to make a positive change in your life you have to understand that it won’t happen by accident. You have certain habits and autopilot behaviours that you do day to day that often will take a concerted effort to adjust and change. Absolutely it can be done but you have to make it somewhat easier for yourself so you don’t meet too much resistance (otherwise you will unlikely follow through) 

One really great way to do this is to create and surround yourself with an environment that makes it easier for you. If you can set your outside world up somewhat to help you with your quest for change you stand a far better chance of succeeding. 

Small examples of this are things like not keeping unnecessary snacks in the house that are going to erode your willpower and making sure you have easily accessible clean gym clothes so there doesn’t feel like there’s additional blockages to training when in the moment you feel rather indifferent towards it. 

Larger and arguably even more important examples of this can be things like the books you read and influences you feed into your body which can include your friendship group. This can be a delicate conversation as you don’t necessarily need to be completely single minded and cut people from your life but if you are spending time with people who don’t value what you value in regards to health and fitness or have a negative outlook on life then there’s a substantial chance you will get pulled into this direction. 

The main point I want you to take from this is that time is precious and it’s not easy to change, if it was everybody would be walking around with the body of their dreams. Changing human behaviour consistently is a complex and tricky task so try and make it as easy as you can.
