| I would say that habits, inherited patterns from environment shaping how we behave are far more important in our daily behaviour and outcome from them. As far as discipline and accountability can be solution to adress those issue, they also reinforce guilt and shame for all those struggling and failing on this path to solve their issue. And often is used as a survivor biais self glorification. Most if not all of your behaviour are directly or indirectly tied to your environment, and feedback from your environment. I myself struggled 30years being overweight, obese and ultra sedentary. Adopting a dog in my home, had more impact on all those issues than all coach/doctor/ and self discipline and accountability. The dog was a major cause of perturbation forcing me to adoption of new patterns and frame of decision. Most healthy and shape peoples are the one lucky enough to have been living in a very positive environment which they inherited. Mimétism is the most important way of transmitting behaviour pattern (and emotional reaction). Once you understand that, you can reshape your environment to improve, adapt the mimetic feedback to yourself. |
