I'm coming round to this way if thinking. I call myself "fat lad" to keep things light-hearted but am I actually doing myself harm? Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy and is this just another layer to defeat?
I remember someone saying that the best way to give up smoking was to see yourself as a non-smoker. By calling myself "Fat lad", I'm reinforcing that I actually am.
Coincidentally, this quote was just in James Clear's email today:
"Working on a problem reduces the fear of it.
It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it—even if progress is imperfect and slow.
Action relieves anxiety."
Hell yeah!!
It’s so true!
