Goals versus Habits

Functional Nutritionist Andrea Nicholson discusses the difference between goals and habits and emphasizes the importance of cultivating healthy habits for sustainable results. While goals provide a target or endpoint, they alone do not provide the necessary direction or daily behaviors needed to achieve them. Habits, on the other hand, are acquired behavior patterns that are regularly followed and become almost involuntary.

Nicholson uses the example of weight loss to illustrate the difference. Having a goal to lose 20 pounds may lead to unhealthy and unrealistic actions, such as extreme calorie restriction or excessive exercise, in order to achieve the target. However, by focusing on creating healthy habits, such as waking up 30 minutes earlier each day to engage in physical activity, or eating slower without distractions, individuals can make small, manageable changes that can lead to long-term success.

The key takeaway from Nicholson's post is that habits are the building blocks of who we are, and by cultivating healthy habits, we can shape our destinies. So, instead of solely focusing on goals, consider the daily actions and behaviors that can lead you towards those goals, and ultimately, the person you aspire to be.
