Green Light Thoughts

Updated: Dec 12, 2021



Which is more important for weight loss: nutrition or exercise? The answer is neither. The most crucial factor for weight loss success is the mindset. It doesn’t matter if you have the perfect workout plan or the most up-to-date nutrition information, if after one missed workout or one unplanned meal, you tell yourself that you’re a failure or not perfect or that you can’t do this. These self-limiting thoughts do nothing but hinder your results.

Before you try the next 30-day workout challenge or the new diet craze, you must focus on controlling these thoughts. You can overcome these negative thoughts by using a strategy called ‘Green Light Thoughts.’ Sports psychologist Brian Cain created the process. It’s a pretty simple idea; place green stickers in places you visit frequently. So, for example, bathroom mirror, work desk, car dashboard, etc. Every time you pass a green sticker, you have to think positively about why you should reach your goal. Over time, thinking positive thoughts will lead to a more confident you. This confidence will lead to better workout and nutrition adherence. Think Green.
