Why is change sometimes so damn hard?
For some of us, there is an area of our life where change seems too damn hard. Maybe it’s getting healthy, maybe it’s changing that pesky habit, maybe it’s getting that promotion. We look to friends or others in social media who are succeeding in those realms, and think, “they have no idea how hard it is!” and “why is it so easy for them?”.

My client was getting married in a year, and desperately wanted to be in shape before her wedding.

There was mold, feces and urine everywhere and she didn’t seem to care even if she stepped in it! Her habits were disturbing and unsanitary enough that her family even tried to get her institutionalized!

Terry came to me concerned about her weight. She had lost 40Ibs through weight watchers, but she was constantly worried about gaining it back, and she wanted to lose 30Ibs more.

Then when she would eat, she found herself eating far more than she should have, whether it was at restaurants with friends, or at home alone.

You may have noticed that some habits are easier to change than others. Why? Because lurking below the surface of your conscious mind, is your subconscious mind.
