What are you packing for your trip?
|
Writing in today to talk about how excited I am about the two modules I got finished yesterday for my upcoming course. It’s going to be a good one! It’s for the person who struggles to make time for breakfast - they know they “should” be having breakfast and they probably “should” be having something other than a pastry or granola bar — but no matter how much they want to, they just can’t seem to make this change. I’m excited because it’s not just another protein cheatsheet with a list of protein ideas for breakfast. I know you have one of those sitting in your inbox somewhere that you read once and then forgot about. I actually get into the nitty-gritty of behavior change science and work on helping you overcome all the excuses that your brain throws at you when you try to take on this new habit. More to come on that as I continue to work on it and eventually get a Priority List up for those of you who might be interested. 🙌 But today, I wanted to share a little tweak to build a new habit. Think about it like going on a trip. Some of us, when we get ready to go on a trip write out a packing list of everything we think we will need to take on the trip. Look at your new habit like that. What are all the materials you will need to get it done? Think in terms of physical items. But then also, what are all the mental mindset shifts you might need to have? And then, just as you would make sure to pack layers and a raincoat in case of bad weather - what do you need to pack in case of obstacles or challenges? Maybe you need some positive affirmations, or you need some support from others. Write it all out on a checklist that you can go through ahead of time to help you think about the process of actually going through the new habit. Let me know if you try this and how it goes! Cheers, |

I had a couple of harsh realities handed to me this week. My dog injured his leg playing around with my partner last night - and it was a glimpse into a possible future. He is a 72 lb golden with hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. He’s had surgery on his right hind hip and probably needs it on his other. So far, we have been managing with pain meds and love. But last night, after roughhousing, he started limping and couldn’t get up to walk to the bedroom - so we carried him. FYI - he is mostly...
I’m 25 days out from a half-marathon race I haven’t been training for. Monster Mountain at mile 1.7 😳 And yet, I’m strangely confident. Have you ever committed to something you weren’t ready for and then didn’t give enough time to? As the days dwindle down, I’m reminded that consistent movement builds a foundation for spontaneous adventures. When you build movement into your life you can be ready to do things on a whim and tap into those benefits. Even though my run mileage has only brought...
