The winter arc era is upon us. Instagram is filled with coaches selling you their programs to help you stay on track through the holidays. We even have people already selling you into 8-week shred programs starting in the New Year. 

And while I’m all for health and fitness challenges to motivate you - I am taking a much more laid-back approach to my health this season, and I think you should t0o.

The world seems to be crashing and burning around us, both literally and figuratively, and I don’t know about you, but my Q3 gave me so much stress I thought I was having a heart attack. So I’m NOT about dialing in all my habits and getting on top of a 4-days-a-week intense training program. 

I’m about being 1% better every day.

And to me, that looks like focusing on 3 or 4 small practices I know will make the most difference (for me!! Yours might be different). And I’m implementing my CARAT system to help me implement and follow through.

Because let’s face it, the hardest part about health and fitness isn’t knowing what to do, it’s actually doing it.

​

A quick refresh on my CARAT system:

C - Cue

A - Awareness

R - Recognize

A - Anticipate

T - Take action

This practice helps you create a routine for checking in with yourself, getting honest with where you are at and recognizing what you need to improve, planning and preparing for the inevitable obstacles and challenges that come up, and then setting up your environment of support to ensure that you actually follow through and take action.

If you’re struggling to follow through with your health behaviors, I’d love to have you join me over the next few months to help you be 1% better every day. I’m throwing an imperfect project together that is super low lift and can fit easily into your busy life.

If this sounds like something you’d want to join, hit reply to this email and let me know - what’s your biggest health struggle at the moment, and where do you want to be health-wise going into 2026?

Cheers
