No.1 tip to avoid overwhelm

No.1 tip to avoid overwhelm

I’m going to share something really important that just might change how you look at your health & fitness.

It’s a mindset trick that will make it EASIER for you to:

  1. stick with the basics,?
  2. avoid feeling overwhelmed, and?
  3. take off some of the pressure you might feel about all things you think you “should” be doing.

Think back to the last time you had to teach someone something.

Maybe it was a new person at work … maybe it was teaching a kid to tie (or Velcro) their shoes … or maybe it was in an actual classroom.

How did you do it?

I’m guessing you didn’t overwhelm your student with EVERYTHING at once – or expect them to do it exactly right on their first (or second or third) try.

You probably started with the basics … at the very beginning … and then when they understood them, you added more info or actions.

Your healthy lifestyle habits are no different.

EXCEPT that we expect ourselves to be able to jump right into the deep end and do ALL the things from Day One.

(And do them perfectly.)

Not exactly a recipe for success – more like a plan for burnout and frustration.

A better approach: let yourself be like your student, and focus on 1-2 new habits and skills – actions that actually help you feel SUCCESSFUL.

And then add more when it’s time.

This is something I call my MAP system (Mindful Actions Process) that I use with my 1:1 coaching clients

This could be:?

  • Starting with a few workouts a week that leave you feeling energized and stronger (vs. sore and exhausted)
  • Making changes in your meals and snacks to include foods that you love AND support your goals (vs. leave you feeling deprived with constant cravings)
  • Finding ways to fit self-care into your busy schedule (vs. always feeling like you’re behind and struggling to catch up)

Sounds pretty good, right?

At?Body Science, we help our clients create results that last a lifetime by focusing on the actions that actually WORK – for them, their goals, and their lifestyle!

We’ve helped hundreds of clients build lean and strong bodies, lose fat, regain their energy, and feel like they have taken their life back!

And we’d love to be part of your fitness/wellness team to help YOU reach your goals.?

If you’re still reading right now, it’s for a reason. You’re probably ready to make some kind of a change in your life … and that’s AMAZING.?

If this is you, let’s talk. I'd love to hear what your goals are and where you are struggling to see if I may be of help.?Book your free call here
