#010 Why Is It So Hard to Maintain Good Habits?
In this episode, we explore the common struggle of "why good habits don't stick" from a spiritual perspective.
"Acting as if" is the ultimate shortcut to achieving your goals.
Ikuko Aivin discusses the importance of "behaving as if you are already the person you want to be" to get closer to your ideal self. The mechanism involves tricking the brain and shifting your identity, which naturally changes your behavior. For example, if you are dieting, the key is to consider what someone who is already at their ideal weight would choose to eat.
We create our own reality.
Our thoughts and actions carry energy, which we broadcast into the world. Since events that resonate with this energy manifest in our reality, it is more important to change your own frequency rather than trying to force "manifestation." This mindset serves as a powerful tool that can be applied to daily routines and self-actualization.
