😏Here's Something I Wish I Knew Sooner

We're already in the second month of 2024 as I write this!

When you read that☝, do you feel:

✅️empowered and on-track to reach your goals?

❌Or shame, defeat & self loathing?

No matter when you're reading this, take a moment to reflect on where you're at with your health goals.

So many people set health goals for the new year that look like this👇.

This year I will exercise every day.

I will eat healthy.

I will get to sleep on time.

I’ll drink more water.

❌Then by the end of the first week you’re feeling like a failure because you missed your workout yesterday, scrolled social ‘til 2am and today you had soda because the water fountain was out of order.

Now what?

Well, I used to be the same…until I discovered these principles I’m about to share with you.

Here’s my philosophy on health goals

Break It Down.

Yeah, I know that’s way too simple. So let’s explore what I mean & how that looks in real life.

3 Key Questions to ask yourself when setting health goals:

How often have I been practicing this habit in the past 3 months?
What am I currently doing in the time I’d need to implement this new habit?
What’s my plan for the days where I just can’t?

For Example:

👉If you want to exercise consistently:

First ask yourself, how often have I been exercising in the past 3 months?

❌If the answer to that is less than twice a week consistently, there’s no freaking way it’s realistic to expect that you’ll work out every day overnight.

✅️Start with 3 times a week.

Next, ask yourself, what am I currently doing in the time I’d need to exercise 3 days a week?

❌If the answer is scrolling social media,

✅️Install an app blocker and make it impossible to get caught in a scroll on afternoons between 5 & 6pm!

Finally, What’s my plan for the days where I just can’t?

❌We all know life happens. You get sick, you stay late at work, your period throws a curveball & you’re bleeding like Niagara Falls [that’s not normal by the way!]

✅️Instead of marinating in guilt & allowing that feeling of “well, I’ve blown it already so I might as well never exercise again” [see how silly that sounds out loud?!?], give yourself the grace to honour your body & it’s immediate needs. Take an extra rest day this week. That doesn’t mean you can’t do 3 workouts next week!
