    Our brains love patterns.

    Exactly. They are called habits, and the true key to being healthy is changing our habits to a healthier lifestyle. And that is the toughest part of it all.

    That it is. Of course the fitness industry wants you to believe it's simpler than this. That there are easy fixes that you can pay for. But intrinsic change is ultimately what's going to drive the sort of change most of us are after. Ya know... the forever kind.

    And that's why I much prefer to perceive this as a giant experiment where I'm constantly testing things out and learning. This prism helps check the dichotomous, perfectionistic thinking that tends to pervade our minds when we're setting out for change.
