The surprising advice I gave my crazy busy client

The other day I had a check-in call with a client who was SO frustrated because it felt like everything in her life was working against her goals.

She has a demanding job … her family life is hectic … AND she is taking on some new responsibilities with her aging parents.

“There is absolutely no time for ME,” she told me. 

And you know what? She’s right. She has a TON on her plate.

So I suggested she make a mindset shift … and CUT HERSELF SOME SLACK.

Which can be incredibly hard to do, especially if you’re super goal oriented.

It’s not about being “on” or “off” her health & fitness routine. Instead, it’s about doing the best you can RIGHT NOW.

Over the long run, your everyday habits have the biggest impact on your health & fitness.

Habits like:

• Making healthy food choices 
• Choosing activities when possible (walks, brief exercise sessions)
• When you can, schedule 2-3 workouts a week (in pen) in your calendar
• Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night

All of these actions will add MORE to your life.

More energy (and less stress!) … and more vitality to take on each and every day, feeling strong and empowered.

I’d either do it 100% or not do it at all, aka all or nothing mindset doesn’t really work with long-term fitness goals. 

Guess what???

Nobody, I mean nobody can do can train 4+ days per week all the time and stick to specific meals all the time.

This is where you need to be agile, learn different training techniques to get more out of short sessions and learn different strategies and approaches to nutrition.

Remember, fitness is neither a sprint nor a marathon. It’s a combination of both. There are times you can run at full speed, but there sure are times you have to walk or even crawl. Focus on simple and easy techniques that are realistic to follow and pay big dividends in the long run instead of stopping and starting all the time.
You got this 💪🏽
