Step 1: Awareness of the Mental Loopholes 

False Choice Loophole

AKA the “I’m too busy” excuse.

But let’s be honest. You have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyoncé.

Schedule your days in time blocks, quit scrolling on Instagram, and put your health before work.

The Moral Licensing Loophole

AKA the “I deserve this” or “I earned this” excuse. Just because you’ve been good doesn’t mean you can be harmful to your goals.

The Fake Self-Actualization Loophole

AKA the YOLO excuse. “You only live once. Let loose! Who cares?!”

It’s true. You do only live once. But it would be best to aim for a long, happy, healthy life.

The Planning to Fail Loophole

AKA the subtle set-yourself-up-for-failure excuse. “I’m just going to buy snacks and beer in case our guests want it.”

But guess who consumes it? You.

The “This Doesn’t Count” Loophole

AKA the “I’m on vacation” or “I’m sick” excuse.There are no magical freebies or get-out-of-jail-free cards.

Everything counts. Welcome to adulthood. 😉

Coaching tip:

If you notice a pattern, document it. Then share these with us for extra support and guidance

Step 2. Catch Loopholes in Real Time. The key is noticing when your mind invokes a loophole.

You can begin challenging your mind and reasoning by focusing on the loophole.

Better yet:

Create a plan on how you’ll address these loopholes or loophole triggers.

Even Better yet:

Challenging your mind will produce dopamine in your brain and act as a reward.

Step 3. Find Your “WHY”. It’s easy to give in to a temptation or take the easy way out without this driving force.

That’s why our Ideal Protein coaches preach about having a WHY statement.   🙌

It’s the heart of your motivation. It grounds you in the present and glimpses into your future. When you encounter a loophole, ask yourself:

“How will I feel about this later?”

“Does this align with my WHY?” My reason for starting this journey.
