How To Reset Your Body Weight Thermostat To Get In Shape Permanently

Early this morning I put on a video to help me grow my fitness business, and one of the concepts in the video was this thing called the “financial thermostat” which I’ve heard about before…

It’s essentially the idea that you earn the amount of money that you feel comfortable with.

For example, if you’re used to making $50k per year and lose your job, you’ll subconsciously take whatever actions you can to get back to earning $50k again.

But on the flip side, if you start earning considerably more…

You’ll also subconsciously sabotage yourself to get back down to where you’re comfortable.

(this is most common in sales jobs, but happens in other industries too)

The craziest thing about the financial thermostat concept is it’s a reflection of self-worth.

And this applies so heavily to getting in shape…

Ever wonder why people who lose weight quickly tend to gain it back?

It’s because they are entering uncomfortable territory.

More specifically, they’re trying diet hacks and tactics to lose weight fast instead of mentally becoming the person who is in shape.
