This week, we're busting down the barriers to habit change, especially your food and lifestyle habits.
Cyd Notter has been a vegetarian since 1991, but it wasn’t until 1999 when she turned fully to a whole food, plant-based diet, that her life and career took off. She's been skyrocketing on plants ever since.
Today, she’s 67 years old and thriving as a busy health and nutrition coach, writer, and speaker. She holds just about every plant-based certification on the planet and works each day to educate and inspire others - what a true calling!
Because Cyd works a lot with people who are just learning the “how-tos” of a whole food, plant-based, oil-free lifestyle, she and Rip center their discussion around some of the biggest barriers to making this change.
They address:
Blind or willful ignorance
Fear of change - fear of failure, out of your comfort zone, changes in your routine
Avoidance of short-term pain and inconvenience
Ingrained habits that are hard to break
False perceptions about being plant-based
Denial of health issues or insistence that a change isn’t necessary
Pride (or rebellion)
Family and social pressure
Emotional eating
Spiritual attack on our values
Every one of these is important to get out on the table and discuss because, no matter what change you’re trying to make, you will run up against these and other obstacles.
The biggest question is how you’ll respond and Cyd coaches you (and her clients) through every difficult scenario to ensure that you are equipped to make the healthiest possible choice.
