Start the year as you mean to go on with this meditation you can listen to when you need a little motivation.

Making healthy choices is a combination of motivation and willpower. And according to Stanford.edu, “willpower is not an innate trait that you're either born with or without. Rather it's a complex mind-body response that can be compromised by stress, sleep deprivation and nutrition and that can be strengthened through certain practices.” 

We might want to be healthier, but life can get in the way. This meditation is designed to help get you into a stronger mindset for making healthy choices, especially when you’re not feeling it. Whether that’s exercising when the couch is calling you, eating well when you're craving that burger, or reading a chapter of a book instead of scrolling TikTok. Now, let’s be real – you can enjoy a chill moment on the couch, a burger and a TikTok scroll but supporting your wellbeing is all about balance, an awareness for what your body and mind need (rather than want), and this meditation is here to support you when your willpower is ebbing.  

Focused on building awareness, this meditation helps you harness the positive feeling you get from making a healthy choice before you make it. Let’s face it, no one ever feels bad after a workout, the endorphin release makes sure of that. By focusing on the good feelings, really envisaging and embodying that feeling in your mind and body, you will more often make healthy choices, so that when you do treat yourself, you can truly enjoy it guilt-free. Give this a listen when you need a little boost of willpower and motivation.
