Impulsive permission feels good for five minutes.
Intentional permission feels good tomorrow.
We CAN make choices that make us feel good in the moment AND that our future self would be proud of. The kind of choices that help us keep moving towards health, instead of spiralling into self hatred.
The question isn’t: Do I want this now? Of course, part of you (usually the emotional part) genuinely does.
The question is: Will tomorrow’s me back this decision?
“Sod it" energy is just dysregulation with a story attached. We honestly believe that we are totally justified in eating crap or drinking alcohol in that moment.
When we say ‘I can’t be arsed,’ what we often mean is ‘I’m overwhelmed.’
My life used to be based on "What do I fancy?" rather than "What do I need ?" or "What will my future self thank me for?"
We might be able to get away with that when we're young, and have little stress, but everything changes over time and we cannot sustain this over time.
