# How To Prevent Procrastination

Many books have been written about this subject. From my experience, 
working out and eating more healthily will help you the most. This can be 
perceived as a paradox if you feel too lazy to work out or adjust your 
eating habits but it is important to know that you are not lazy, you only 
feel lazy. People have the tendency to label themselves and then act upon 
it as if it is a part of their identity. We illustrated throughout the 
book how identity is not what you are. No matter how hard it is to believe, 
you have great potential. Neuroplasticity is an amazing property of the 
brain, as discussed in Chapter IV. If you can't find the energy to kick 
yourself in gear, you can try to find someone to go work out with. For a 
better diet, you can put yourself in an environment where you can only 
choose from healthy foods so you can't be tempted. Refined sugar, for 
example, has a strong numbing impact on the brain. And while it's hard to 
stop eating it, it's the one thing my viewers were surprised the most about 
how much it did for them. It is quite difficult to avoid though because it 
is added to a lot of foods. Having a vegan diet can also help for some, as 
can taking supplements. But when it comes down to specifics, it is much 
harder for me to give guidelines. There are studies showing that it differs 
from person to person due to how complex and personal our gut flora are. 
Although some foods such as refined sugar are bad for everyone.

A healthy body goes hand in hand with a healthy mind and helps a lot at 
developing a better mindset. Picking up these habits will give you more 
energy which leads to more action and willpower. This can also fix the 
problem of boredom, which is often a side effect of being passive. If you 
are in a spot where you can't find the energy, don't dwell on it and try 
your best to break the cycle. After the first step it only gets easier.
