Turn Stress Into Success

Have you ever felt crazy stressed about a big to-do? Whether it’s taking care of your home, losing weight, or just doing one of the many seemingly insurmountable projects or tasks life throws our way, I know you KNOW what I’m talking about.

The normal reaction when facing what feels like a mountain of a task is to stall, to procrastinate.

We’ll get to it “later.”

What ends up happening in our minds is that the “to-do” becomes even bigger, more insurmountable. It gets pushed farther into the future.

And as we blow up the magnitude of the thing at hand, achieving it becomes further from reality.

Instead, here’s what to do…

Take action immediately. Don’t talk about it. Don’t think about. Just act.

You see, motivation to complete the task at hand won’t EVER come without action.

Action first, then motivation follows.

I think it’s so important to highlight this part of the motivation cycle. So many people sit around waiting for motivation to strike before acting, and they end up waiting forever.

This is why 95% of people fail to reach their goals. It’s sad but true.

So, what’s your big “to-do” that feels a little overwhelming? How can you take action TODAY in order to become motivated and get it done?

Let me know!

Lean Habits

One of the major differences I see between chronically fit people and those who aren’t is that fit people have developed something I call “lean habits.”

A fit person has typically developed enough discipline over time to make the choices that best serve them and their goals regularly, which is what allows them to stay fit.

For example, a person with lean habits can choose water over soda with lunch. They can drive by fast food restaurants and not be tempted to pull over. They can say “No” to dessert most of the time without a second thought.

Are lean habits easy to develop? Well, honestly, no. But they absolutely can be developed with consistent commitment over time.

Perhaps you work on developing your lean habits first with creating rules and parameters to slowly change your current habits.

It could be:
• Limiting soda to 1x/day if you normally drink 3 – or trying a healthy replacement like Kombucha
• Eating out only 2x/week instead of 4 times
• Going to the gym 2x/week consistently rather than not at all

There are no hard and fast rules around how to develop lean habits, it’s simply about doing what works for you.

So, how will you start to develop your lean habits?

To Your Success,
