"If you want to be a different version of yourself, you simply need to do that. Be a different version of yourself."
This reminded me of a mindset I tried to adopt when I was younger—I said to myself, "Maybe if I just pretend to be someone with confidence, then maybe one day it won't be pretending anymore?"
It's a principle that I had lost sight of, so I'm glad that you've brought my attention back to it. Hugs!
Allison! Such a delight to read! What you describe is an all too familiar experience. The crock pot quinoa and chicken made me laugh out loud. I was similarly ocd about being “healthy” in my twenties and it totally backfired. Also pretty sure I ate oatmeal every morning for 2 years straight thinking it was the healthiest choice possible… meanwhile spiking my glucose and leading to cravings all day. ANYWAY, I love the balance mindset and the power of actually believing you are this new person. I’m mid way through Atomic Habits by James Clear and he hammers this message home! Something I’m trying to fully adopt in 2025. This was such a great read, especially on New Year’s Day! 💫
