Takeaway
As a client eloquently put it: ‘Can you incentivise me to behave’. I have no profound spiel as to why one should pursue better health and quality of life. I think the value is self evident.
But environment is everything. The spark to pursue those things comes from community, family, friends and fear. Keep manipulating your environment till you find a combo that you can afford, minimizes friction, convenient and works for you. Sometimes all it takes is different voice that can resonant with what you are feeling to get you moving in the right direction.
