2-minute health experiment for YOU

Now that we are in mid-February 💗 I want to take a moment for YOU.

Did you set a new year’s resolution or have some ideas of what you want to work on this year❓❓❓

How’s it going❓❓❓

Most people start to fade with their goals at this point. 👎🏻

And I know why! ✨

I have a short experiment for you to do (right now) that explains why you might struggle with sustaining your goals and how to fix it.

Do you find yourself saying, “I should,” a lot?

👉🏻 I should exercise more.

👉🏻 I should stop eating out so much.

👉🏻 I should volunteer at my kids’ school.

There’s a sweet book I’m reading called The Soul Solution by Vanessa Loder. She says that… 🚩 Should is a red flag that indicates we care more about what other people think than what we feel inside. When we say “I should,” we are choosing to please others over pleasing ourselves, which feels heavy inside. If you can begin to make “feeling good” the driving motivation behind your choices, this is when you can sustain healthy habits.

There’s a cute project in the book (this is the short experiment I want you to do). For this exercise, we evaluate your SHOULDS that influence your life.

Then we dive in and figure out your deeper desire so you can create a more purposeful action plan.

Let’s take a common one.. “I should lose 10 pounds” (New Year’s Resolution = lose 10 pounds)

What’s your deeper desire behind your “should?”

🤔 Maybe it’s one of these… I want to feel good in my body. I want to feel in control of my health.

What feels good to you?

🤔 Maybe one of these… I feel good when I eat foods that nourish my body. I feel good when I plan and prep my food ahead of time. I feel good when I move my body every day.

Create a realistic and meaningful action plan (that feeds your deeper desire):
It’s going to be different for everyone.

🤔 Here are some examples…

✨ Schedule in 10 min every day to plan ahead and pack some healthy foods.

✨ Create a simple menu plan every week to stay on top of your nutrition.

✨ Walk or dance to energizing music every day.

✨ Ask for help – schedule a free chat with us to figure out a plan (that feels right).

As you can tell, our body, mind and motivation do not respond well to demands and tough goals.

Unfortunately, most people are not in tune with their bodies (and mind) and most people do not know how to create a realistic wellness plan that feels right (that they want to stick to forever).
