Hacks to Effortlessly Build Healthy Habits in 2022
At some point in the past week (or five minutes ago after a Google search), you’ve made a resolution to change your life.
Maybe you decided to exercise every day. Perhaps it’s time to start eating better.
Or maybe you decided to stop wearing jorts.
Well my friend, I’m excited for you, and I want you to know you’ve arrived at the right place!
We help folks build healthy habits as part of our 1-on-1 Online Coaching Program, so you’ve come to the right place to fulfill your resolution.
Here’s what we’ll cover in our Guide to Build Healthy Habits in 2022:
Why do we suck at building healthy habits?
The first step of building healthy habits (Know your “Big Why”)
How to build healthy habits (The three parts)
The key to sustainable healthy habits (Use systems)
5 hacks for effortless healthy habit building
The secret to fulfilling your resolution (Do less)
Pick your habit and GO (Next steps) Take a look to these Protetox reviews.
Let’s get right to it so you can start rocking 2022!
Why Do We Suck At Building Healthy Habits?
“I know what I’m supposed to do, I just can’t get myself to do it!”
Welcome to the club – we all know what we need to do, but we just can’t get ourselves to make the important changes.
We know how to get in shape: move more and eat less!
We know how to exercise: get your heart rate up, do some push-ups, get stronger.
We know how to eat healthy: more vegetables and less sugar.
And yet, we can’t get ourselves to stick with ANY of these things for longer than a few weeks.
Why?
Simple: Building new healthy habits is tough, our lizard brains crave instant gratification, we don’t fully understand how habits are built, life gets busy, and our default behavior is often as unhealthy as it is easy.
As a result, we don’t put the right systems in place in order to make changes stick.
We also rely wayyyyy too much on willpower and motivation.
We tend to bite off more than we can chew, go too fast too soon, and then get overwhelmed too quickly.
Does this sound familiar?
I’m going to eat 100% Paleo/Keto AND
I’m going to run 5 miles a day AND
I’m going to work out in a gym five times a week.
If you’re somebody that eats a typically poor diet, never runs, and hasn’t set foot in a gym since grade-school dodgeball with Mr. Wazowski, changing alllll of these at once is almost a surefire way to succeed at precisely NONE of them.
We’re conditioned these days to expect and receive instant gratification. If we want food we can get it from a drive-through, stick a frozen meal in a microwave, or sit down at a restaurant that’s open 24 hours. If we want a game we can download it to our computers/phones/PS5s within a matter of seconds. If we want to watch a TV show, it’s a few clicks away.
Hell, Netflix even starts the next episode for you without any action required!
We expect getting in shape to go the same way.
And this is why we suck at building healthy habits that stick.
We tell ourselves “Hey, I’ve been dedicated for a whole two weeks, why don’t I look like Ryan Reynolds yet?”, not remembering that it took us decades of unhealthy living to get where we are, which means it’s going to take more than a few weeks to reverse the trend.
And then we miss a workout because life was busy or our kid got sick. And we get disheartened that exercise or giving up candy is not nearly as fun as Netflix and video games and Peanut M&M’s.
This is where everybody gives up:
They try to change too many habits too soon
They get impatient the results don’t come more quickly
We’ve got a special treat this week as we’re joined by Wrestle Zone’s Ross Berman! He is joined by our in-studio guest Jaye Cooper, as well as our usual group of wrestling fans with Sorg, Larry, and Bobby. This week’s topics include:
Ross has been covering the Colt Cabana and CM Punk trial. We’ve got him on the podcast to share a little bit of what he’s been seeing.
Podcasters and interviewers alike have been in the crosshairs awaiting the turnout of the Colt Cabana and CM Punk trial.
Podcasts, in general, are entertainment – when someone frames it as fact-checked journalism, it can cause harm.
A wrestling journalist having to switch gears to trial coverage?
Covering New Japan is what prepared Ross for the Colt Cabana and CM Punk trial coverage.
Ross covers New Japan, which brings us to Larry CANCELLING his WWE Network app!

NXT Takeover is ALSO this weekend. We’re sharing some thoughts and predictions.
OH: Lars Sullivan is great! I want to see him win the title at a house show!
Lars Sullivan is what Snitsky should have been.

Wrestling Mayhem Show 576: Long Time Host, First Time Listener
We’ve got Larry, Dudders, Chad the Shad and Mad Mike in studio for Wrestling Mayhem Show 576. And, if you pay attention to this week’s host, you’ll notice we’ve replaced Sorg with our very own Mayhem Mania correspondent and friend in the mainstream media – Matt. Our wrestling-loving crew is talking about what’s happening in pro wrestling this week, including:
Sorg looks a little different this week…
What happened this week in wrestling? We share our thoughts!
We have some mixed thoughts on Money in the Bank. And, some thoughts from Dudders representing a ladies’ opinion on ladies.
Is Dudders wo-mansplaining Money in the Bank?
As the FIRST Women’s Money in the Bank, did WWE do it right?
How do you lead a Women’s Revolution and have a dude grab the briefcase in your FIRST women’s Money in the Bank?
We’ve moved on from Money in the Bank to the Smackdown Live redo for the women’s match redo.
Does WWE not understand that the rules have changed with regard to what’s acceptable for women’s wrestling?
Bayley was a great womens wrestling example, because she was a real woman – not someone stylized to be objectified.
Maria made a return to the WWE, and was celebrated by objectified photos.
Should Carmella’s reaction to Ellsworth retrieving the Money in the Bank briefcase have been more intense about a guy stepping in?
We’re thinking Carmella will be throwing Ellsworth into the fray and taking the opportunity to get the Money in the Bank.
The Carmella and Ellsworth spot was perfect – just not for the timing.
In case you missed it, Enzo and Big Cass broke up, this week.
We feel that WWE does not believe in real friendship.
Vince McMahon’s heart is as black as coal.
We love us some Corey Graves.
Thanks Tina for the Corey Graves puppet master angle with Big Cass.
Did you know David Otunga is filming a movie?
Sharing some thoughts on who would make good WWE commentators.
We got to see The Revival, guys!
Mad Mike is pitching an Enzo v. Cass match for Summer Slam.
This week’s Big Question: Who will dethrone Asuka’s reign?
We’re calling it now: Asuka vacates the title and winner of the Mae Young Classic picks it up.
Can we get Ronda Rousey v Asuka?
Asuka is the Braun Strowman of the NXT Women’s Division.
We’ve moved on to some Roman Reigns match/competitor discussion. We have some thoughts.
