FIRST CUT ⏱ 13:02 – 14:16

    Let's read...

    But after hearing Elko's story, I talked to Nate and said, "Nate, why would you do something for a year - for someone like you, who knows that this is gonna be something that's gonna potentially plague you for the rest of your life?" He's like 38 years old. He struggled with this his whole life. I said, "Why would you just do this for a year? What's gonna happen a year from now?" And I told him about the idea of 100% commitment is easier than 98% commitment and the difference between decision and decision fatigue. Decision is the opposite of decision fatigue: once you've actually made the decision, you no longer have to play the mental tug-of-war. For example, if you make a decision about when to wake up the next day, you don't push the snooze button. If you haven't made the decision the night before, when the alarm goes off, you're not really sure what you'll gonna do. Willpower often does not work. And so because of that epiphany, that idea, Nate just sat with his wife, he made a list of the pros and cons of going refined-sugar-free for the rest of his life. He asked himself the question,"What would happen if I did this for the rest of his life?", "What would happen if I did this for the rest of my life?" The list of cons was there, you know. There were certain social gatherings that he would miss, miss on some of the things, but the list of pros was fundamental. And the biggest pro was that he would no longer have to think about it again.

SECOND CUT ⏱ 14:15 – 15:27

    Let's read...

    Psychologists have found that, on average, people have about 50,000 thoughts a day. And Nate said that about 40,000 of those thoughts were about food. He couldn't stop thinking about it. And that's, essentially, the nature of addiction. It's that you can't stop thinking about it and he was very addicted to food. And that's why the Michael Jordan quote is so important: "Once you make a decision, you no longer have to think about it again.". That was the biggest benefit of Nate just making this shift and saying, "I'm no longer gonna do this anymore; I don't want to have to think about this ever again." And once he let that go, and once Elko let that go and once Tom Hartman let that go, then all of a sudden, they were able to be exactly who they wanted to be. The problem with them trying to control their behavior, will-powering their way to change, maybe setting short goals, is that they never actually were able to let go of that thing they wanted to get rid of that whole time. Once they're able to make the shift in who they were, in how they saw themselves the rest of their lives - once you're able to actually make a decision and cut off the alternative option by committing a 100%. Then all of a sudden, their mind was completely free and they felt so aligned with who they were, that they started doing things that they've been procrastinating for years.
