Eric Roberts says healthy habits feel tedious but work: stop eating three hours before bed to improve sleep, take a ten-minute walk after meals to regulate blood sugar, track protein and calories. Most people quit because they can't tolerate the monotony. Consistency beats excitement.
I swear, people who are trying to be healthy are fucking boring, dog. Like right now, it's about to be 6:30 at night and I'm over here like, man, I got to make sure I eat dinner soon and I finish dinner soon because I got to stop eating 3 hours before I go to bed because I want to make sure I can lower my resting heart rate to make sure I get my proper deep sleep. And then I'm like, okay, right after this, I got to go take a 10-minute walk outside to make sure I can digest my food and make sure I lower my blood sugar so I'm not bloated And I can go to sleep and get better sleep. And then obviously I'm like, well, I got to make sure I hit my protein goal. So here I am cooking my chicken thighs, way better than chicken breast, making sure I hit my protein goal, going into my calorie counter to make sure I hit it. But you know what? I really wouldn't have it any other way because amidst all of the boringness, that's where results really come from. I don't think a lot of people ever truly reach their goals, especially with their health and fitness. Because they're not willing to be boring. They're not willing to follow a routine day over day, week over week. And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way because the boringness, the routine consistency, it gives you peace because, you know, as long as you follow it, you're going to feel good, you're going to look good, you're going to have good energy, you're going to perform good. And it's one less thing you have to worry about. So on your journey, be boring. That is actually a good thing and it will help you make more progress. If you like this, follow for more tips.
