Your Environment Is Making Decisions FOR You Right Now (Are they good ones?)

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Reading Time: Postcard (less than 30 seconds)

Did you know:

Your environment is making decisions for you whether you realize it or not.

There are dozens of micro-decisions you will make today based on the previous major and micro decisions you've made.

If you're like me, when there are cookies in the house, you'll eat them. (Sure I can put them in the freezer "for the future" but the future is in about 20 minutes...)

If my workout clothes aren't laid out the night before and ready to go, I might skip working out.

If I don't pre-game my workday, I'll waste time getting organized instead of making progress.

What Ms. Cat Food learned was that willpower is finite, and motivation comes and goes.

But when you pre-design your environment in such a way that it supports you, you win. (And when you don't, it will sabotage you, especially when your willpower runs right out, and it will).

What's my takeaway, Honorée? I'm so glad you asked. It's to think about how your physical environment can be designed to support your success, and then go make it happen.

That's what Ms. Cat Food did, that's what I did and continue to do. And, spoiler alert, it's going to work and keep working.

Reply and tell me the one area of your environment that's working against you right now, and what you'll do to fit it!

See you tomorrow,

Honorée Corder.

Reading Time: Postcard (25 seconds) Yesterday I shared that Ms. Cat Food and I were Feng Shui practitioners--and boy did y'all love this idea. I promised to share some fun and effective actions you can take. Before I share them, let me say that everything is energy and if you have a problem, there's a good chance you've got some congestion. What you need is circulation, and Feng Shui is a circulation catalyst. Here's what she did, what I did, and what you can do: 1. Declutter everything. Get...

Reading Time: Postcard (<40 seconds) So I've chatted about having an accountability system (avoiding fat and any other types of shaming) and the importance of making an identity shift to make long-lasting change. But there's one more piece of her success story I haven't shared with you quite yet. And it's a piece people can tend to overlook when trying to make changes that last. It's something I was lucky to find more than 20 years ago myself. Now if you would have told logical me that it...

Reading Time: <2 minutes (Two-page handwritten letter) My inbox was on fire yesterday--thank you to everyone who got the point and sent support. It took me almost two hours to answer everyone's emails--amazing!! It's a good thing it was monthly admin day at Honoree Enterprises HQ! Okay, so where were we? Ah yes. Ms. Cat Food—the woman who came face-to-face with a can of Fancy Feast and won! ...and she's kept it off for 20 years. 20! Let's pause here, because this is where most weight loss...
