Avoid Sweets, Save Money

When you stop being sweet you must undergo an identity shift. It’s the kind of thing you can decide on very easily. The decision is simple. The practice is what’s difficult.

For example, you can decide today, right now, that you are going to become proficient at saving money. It’s easy to make that choice. However, tomorrow—no matter how hard you try—you will not suddenly have a month’s worth of extra cash in your pocket. Choosing to do something is easy. Following through is where we get lost. Saving money is something you can certainly do. Doing it well is a skill that takes time and repetition. Becoming proficient at saving might take a year or more of dilligent practice.

Getting off sugar is the same. For example, you can decide today, right now, that you are going to stop being sweet. It’s easy to make that choice. However, tomorrow—no matter how hard you try—you will not suddenly have a wealth of sugarless time behind you. Choosing to do something is easy. Following through is where we get lost. Avoiding sugar is something you can certainly do. Doing it well is a skill that takes time and repetition. Becoming proficient at avoiding sugar might take a year or more of dilligent practice.

The trick to avoiding sweets (and to saving money) is to do it a little bit at a time. Whenever you are presented with the opportunity to make a choice, choose the action that supports your preferred identity. The more times you make a choice that reinforces your preferred identity, the more you are what you chose to become. Eventually you will wake up and realize that you are the person you once wanted to be.

(PS - Avoiding sugar begets saving money.)
