Is This One Thing Getting in the Way of Your Health Goals?

For years, I have had consults with women who are holding their health hostage to an all-or-nothing mindset.

“I just don’t have time right now.” 10 years later, 20 years later, those same people are saying the same thing, “I just don’t have time.” Spoiler. Unfortunately, we don’t sprout extra hours in the day, and for busy individuals, we tend only to get busier … or we burn out.

 

But at the root, the issue isn’t really time at all. It is the belief that there is a certain way we “should” be doing something, and if we can’t commit to it for any reason - timing, energy level, access- then we shouldn’t bother do it at all.

 

Even for folks who are  “doing it all…” You can lift all the weight, eat all the protein, sleep like a champ, but if we don’t address the mindset piece, oftentimes we aren’t able to enjoy any of it. We’re simply off to tackle the next goal without appreciating where we are, and we are certainly not learning from and enjoying the process.

 

Luckily, that’s simply not the case. Today, we dive into what an all-or-nothing mindset is, its pitfalls, and how to break free once and for all of the stories we tell ourselves (maybe without even knowing it) that are holding us back from taking care of our health and truly thriving in our lives.
