Who Are You Modeling… and Should They Even Have the Mic?
August 25, 2025
Let’s be honest — we are always imitating something.
Whether it’s conscious or not, our thoughts, habits, and cravings are often shaped by:
-
What we scroll past on Instagram
-
Who we hang around
-
What we’ve seen our family do for years
-
Or what the culture normalizes (snacking, wine-downs, “treating yourself”)
But here’s the real question:
Who are you modeling right now?
And do they actually live how you want to live?
Because wisdom isn’t just about doing what “feels good.”
It’s about having the discernment to say:
“That may work for them… but that’s not in alignment with the version of me I’m becoming.”
Detox Your Role Models
We don’t talk about this enough, but sometimes the people we admire…
are also the ones keeping us stuck.
-
That influencer who eats clean but never talks about the binge/restrict cycle.
-
That friend who laughs off poor eating habits as a personality trait.
-
That family member who guilt-trips you for changing.
-
Or even your past self — the one you’re loyal to out of routine, not wisdom.
If you’re trying to break bad habits, you have to be mindful of who you give the mic to.
Your New Mirror: Future You
If you’re going to imitate anyone…
Let it be the version of you who’s already free.
The one who says “no” without shame.
The one who doesn’t reward stress with snacks.
The one who loves peace more than sugar.
That version of you already exists.
You just need to practice their mindset until it becomes yours.
Reflect & Rewire
Try this today:
-
Scan your influences: Who’s been shaping your food decisions lately?
-
Ask yourself: Are they aligned with your vision or just your past?
-
Close your eyes. Picture future you.
-
Ask: Who do you follow? What do you eat? What do you say no to — and why?
Final Thought
Be careful who you imitate — because you’re also inheriting their outcomes.
Wisdom says:
“Don’t just copy the habit. Understand the why behind it.”
And if their why doesn’t serve your future?
Let them go.
