🔥FACT🔥
Imagine your mind is a battery — and every decision you make over the course of a day drains it a little bit.
By the end of the day, it gets harder and harder to make good decisions or rely on your willpower.
Psychologists call this “decision fatigue” or “ego depletion.”
You might feel drained … have brain fog … or just plain tired.
That feeling can make your healthy routine feel like a LOT more work than it really is.
And that means it can get in the way of things like your workouts or cooking dinner.
But there ARE a few simple fixes!
1. Set up your schedule so you don’t have to rely on self-control and willpower. You want to make it as easy and automatic as possible.
● Have healthy food at home so you are less tempted to order takeout
● Keep your workout clothes in the car so it’s easier to hit the studio on the way home
● Find a workout buddy (or coach!) to keep you accountable for your late-in-the-day sessions
2. Also, just knowing that this is a “thing” can help you combat it.
When you feel like making not-so-healthy decisions, acknowledge that you probably have decision fatigue. And then take that healthy action anyway (you’ll be glad later).
Enjoy the rest of your evening,
