The surprising advice I gave my crazy busy client

The other day I met with a client who was SO frustrated because it felt like everything in her life was working against her goals.

She has a demanding job … her family life is hectic … AND she is taking on some new responsibilities with her aging parents.

There is absolutely no time for ME,” she told me.

And you know what?

She’s right.

She has a TON on her plate.

So I suggested she make a mindset shift … and CUT HERSELF SOME SLACK.

Which can be incredibly hard to do, especially if you’re super goal-oriented.

It’s not about being “on” or “off” her health & fitness routine.

Instead, it’s about doing the best you can RIGHT NOW.

Over the long run, it’s your everyday habits that have the biggest impact on your health & fitness.

Habits like:

  • Making healthy food choices
  • Choosing activity when possible (walks, brief exercise sessions)
  • When you can, schedule 2-3 workouts a week (in pen) in your calendar
  • Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night

All of these actions will add MORE to your life.

More energy (and less stress!) … and more vitality to take on each and every day, feeling strong and empowered.

It’s also a great time to hire a coach.

When you’re facing challenges, you NEED support, accountability, and a troubleshooter who can step back and see the big picture …

… and help you come up with solutions that work with your schedule & goals.

When you’re tired of feeling tired

When you’re tired of feeling tired

Have you ever been here before? Something sparked you to set a new fitness goal that you were REALLY excited about. Maybe you stepped on the scale after the holidays, had a big event coming up (reunion, wedding, vacation, etc.), were unhappy with the results from your latest doctor’s visit, watched an inspiring movie, were wowed by someone else’s transformation, or even had some kind of wake-up call…

Finding your tribe

Finding your tribe

Most of the time in my emails I try not to talk about the crazy roller coaster ride we’ve been on over the past couple of years. I mean, I’m more than ready to move onward and upward! Aren’t you? But there’s a super important lesson we have all learned. It’s about how much we need COMMUNITY … CONNECTION … and SOCIAL SUPPORT.

Setting realistic goals

Setting realistic goals

Every once in a while I get a panicked email or call from someone who wants to “lower their cholesterol down x points before their next doctor’s appointment a month from now“ or “get ready for a marathon in two months”. Don’t get me wrong: Those are all important goals … but they absolutely are not possible (at least in a healthy and sustainable way) in only a month or two!
