Top 3 Beliefs Keeping You Unhealthy and How to Break Them
Episode Overview
- Thinking "This is how it's always been" keeps people stuck in unhealthy patterns across health, money and time.
- "I don't have time" usually means health is not a priority, especially when time is spent on social media or streaming.
- Prioritising health now can prevent spending far more time later at doctors’ appointments or in hospital.
- The belief "I don't know where to start" can be challenged by using free resources and beginning with small, simple actions.
- Starting with modest, consistent exercise and lifestyle changes is more sustainable than going too hard and burning out quickly.
“If you don't have time to work on your health, you better make time to go to the hospital.”
What drives someone to seek a life without feeling stuck in the same unhealthy patterns? This energetic episode of *Livin the DREAM with Matt Scoletti* zooms in on the “Top 3 Beliefs that keep you UNHEALTHY” and why changing them might change everything. Matt, a former alcoholic turned certified health coach and ultra-endurance athlete, breaks down three mental roadblocks he sees over and over again.
First up is the classic excuse: “This is how it’s always been.” He shares how he once told himself, “This is just what I weigh,” even at 225 pounds on a 5'9" frame, and how that mindset kept him stuck for over a decade. He calls out this thinking as a “victim mentality” that can spread across health, money and time. The second belief, “I don’t have time,” gets a serious reality check.
Matt doesn’t hold back: “If you don’t have time to work on your health, you better make time to go to the hospital.” He compares time spent on social media or streaming with the same minutes that could be used for walking, push-ups or meal prep, arguing that “I don’t have time” usually means “it’s not a priority.” The third belief, “I don’t know where to start,” is tackled with practical suggestions.
Matt points out how much free information is available and encourages starting small: a walk, drinking more water, joining a run or hiking club, or simply looking up basic nutrition guidance. He warns against going too hard too soon in the gym and burning out after a few days. This episode suits anyone who feels unhealthy, short on time, or stuck in old stories about what’s possible.
If you’ve been repeating the same excuses for years, this might be the nudge that gets you to finally ask: which belief am I ready to drop today?
