Key Takeaways

  • Identify cognitive distortions that influence health decisions (e.g., “all-or-nothing” thinking).
  • Reframe negative self-talk about health habits to avoid self-sabotage.
  • Use “implementation intentions” (specific “if-then” plans) to stick to healthy behaviors.
  • Recognize social proof bias—don’t assume popular health trends are right for you.
  • Audit your health narratives—question beliefs like “I’m bad at sticking to routines.”

Notable Quotes

“The stories we tell ourselves about our health behaviors become self-fulfilling prophecies.”
