What if you had an alter ego you could call on when you didn’t feel like working out, making the better choice with food, or doing what you know you need to do? That’s the idea behind the alter ego effect. And it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about using the strengths, values, and beliefs you already have when things get hard.

We talk about how we’ve been using alter egos ourselves, including how asking “What would an athlete do?” helped with workouts, food choices, and those times when the motivation just wasn’t there. Because you don’t have to feel motivated first. Sometimes you take action, and the feelings start to follow.

We also talk about how to create your own alter ego, when to use it, and even how things like music can help. So if you find yourself debating and negotiating with yourself when you’re trying to lose weight, get fit, or reach a goal, this might be something worth trying.
