Hello everyone welcome to episode 60 of intermittent fasting for life, Experiment of One. I’m your host Tracey Mack.
Today I’ll be discussing: Becoming the Best Version of Yourself in 2026.
Welcome listeners! Today is February 7th and spring is just around the corner. So those goals you set for 2026 have you started them? How is it going? Are you practicing discipline or are you relying on motivation?
The best version of you is not found in motivation, it’s found in discipline.
Motivation can fade over time but discipline and repetition without thought is everlasting.
Here are 3 examples of self discipline.
2. If you want to be a person who eats vegetables every day for your health just starting eating vegetables every day. I know eating vegetables is not easy for everyone. I’m not a big fan either. however, I will make my green smoothie with my greens & some low sugar fruit and I will drink my greens. This is a “no excuses environment.”
3.If you want to be the person who prioritizes their personal development start reading books or listening to podcasts about personal development. My first personal development mentor on YouTube was Jim Rohn. Someone mentioned his name in one of my weight loss groups at the time and I found him and that is how I started reading every day because he suggests that you read and learn every day.
Focusing on my personal development is how I started fasting. It is how I started writing my book. It is how I started this podcast.
You have to take the first step it doesn’t have to be a big step. Just take a small step. My first small step was I stopped eating at 7 PM. I didn’t eat again until 11 AM the next day. That one small step changed my life for the better!
This step repeated over time caused me to lose weight (because I was overweight) & it lowered my blood sugar to where I am no longer pre-diabetic. It also gave me mental clarity amongst many other non-scale victories!
Once I started doing this every day, it became a habit so I no longer need motivation!
Take out a piece of paper or your note pad in your phone & write down:
What do I want to do?
What do I want to learn?
How do I want to show up in my life?
Find people who are doing what you want to do for support. Whether it is in person or online, find your people!
Remember, you are what you focus on! So don’t focus on what you don’t want to be (the negatives), focus on what you do want to be (the positives).
