I remember when I was first worked on getting my tight pants to fit, I got caught up in all the DOING.
The workouts, the meal plans, the lifestyle changes…
The list goes on.
But over time, I realized something that has since changed everything for me and my clients:
It’s not just about WHAT you do [eat salads and do squats, for example]...
It’s also about HOW you do it.
It’s worth remembering that stress — even with good intentions — can have a MAJOR impact on your brain, mood, energy levels, blood sugar, hormones, and sleep quality…
All things that can easily derail your progress despite all your hard work.
What’s the point of sacrificing one part of our health for another, right?
So even though eating protein and getting 2-3 days of strength training in are important for your metabolism...
👉 So is managing your stress.
My recommendation?
Check in with yourself more often.
Ask yourself if what you’re doing is supporting you or draining you.
Here are a few questions to get you started…
What is one thing I did today / this week that made me feel proud?
How did I handle stress and challenges today / this week?
What is one thing I can let go of to reduce my stress?
What am I grateful for right now?
How can I make more time for self-care and relaxation tomorrow / in the coming week?
These questions can help you stay in tune with your mental and emotional well-being, making your path to optimal health (and clothes that fit) far more sustainable and enjoyable.
This is also a great way to coach yourself!
But if you want more personalized guidance and support, I have 1 spot open for one-on-one coaching. You can reply to this email if you're ready to take that step.
