Hire a trainer/find a workout buddySO many people 3,6,12 months down the road we talk to in the same place, or worse. Because nothing changesSolution: Change up the routine and approach.2 (02:51) - You always put yourself last-”“But I don’t have time for myself, I have to take care of my kids, parents, etc.” Sounds familiar? It’s a common societal expectation and gender norm for mothers to place the needs of their children ahead of themselves. But does this mean you need to put yourself last or can’t engage in healthier behaviours?If anything, when you prioritize your own health and wellness, you have more physical and emotional stamina to care for others.”Solution: Prioritize yourself and remind yourself of the importance of it.You can’t pour from an empty cup.3 (05:36) - You don’t actually want it bad enoughHardest one for some people to hearYou like the thought of saying you’re doing something, but don’t actually careSolution: Find your deep why4 (09:05) - You don’t have much of a game plan & always wing itIt’s hard to stay on track when you don’t actually know what you’re doing or have a road mapSolution: Get a proper plan5 (11:13) - The people around you sabotage youSolution: Level up your circle”People often feel insecure about their appearance and their choices. They feel guilt and shame for their own perceived lack of effort with healthy nutrition and physical activity. When someone around them starts dieting and exercising, it can trigger these feelings. It’s human nature to want to make these unpleasant feelings go way. This means making the shame trigger stop by running interference.”Thanks for listening!
