Well chuffed…
One thing that comes up a lot…
Is that we think we have to change everything to get results..
You know,
“Plan your meals”
“Count every calorie”
“Exercise for an hour”
“Wait until I am fitter”
“Avoid processed foods”
“No more drinking ever…”
“I’ll start after that night out”
We say all these things…
Because we know that – yes – they would work.
But here’s the thing..
They don’t often work in REAL LIFE…
Why?
As we never get down to actually doing them…
That’s why I like ACTION based habits that you can do TODAY.
But here’s the catch..
That little voice in your head?
It will say that “it won’t work’
‘There is no point’
I get it.
So what do you do instead?
Set your expectations really high..
So high
That we either
Never get started
And end up further away from where you want to be…
Or
Start
Fail
And label ourselves as a failure.
And then we are back to square one (or worse).
So what do I suggest?
Well, pick ONE thing.
It could be:
“I will do a one minute workout today”

It could be:
“Today, I will snack on [insert snacks here]”
After all..
Everyone knows what to do.
But most?
Lack motivation to exercise…so never do it
Or eat healthy meals.
But it is the ‘ bits inbetween’..
So what if
Rather than thinking you have to plan all of your meals
You just started by planning your snacks?
It’s one less decision to make.
No more ‘don’t eat those biscuits” then end up eating 10 haha
But instead..
“I will eat 2 biscuits with my cup of tea today”
So what if you committed to one minute today?
It’s one minute…
You could have done it by now 😉
Best case?
You do more…
Worst case?
You did one minute more than yesterday….
It’s the small habits that add up.
