At this point in the year, I talk to a lot of people who feel quite defeated.
Most likely, at the end of 2021, you felt off, and maybe you decided you needed a detox. In fact, you likely indulged a little more in December in anticipation of your January reset.
So come January, you went ALL in. You gave it your best, and followed the program perfectly. You were sleeping better, had more energy and started to really feel good. But, you just couldn’t keep it up. The RULES didn’t seem that hard at first. But then we had that snow day, someone got Covid , you ran out of groceries, the sun still wasn’t around, and life just felt hard. You declared yourself a failure and gave up.
When it comes to nutrition, too often we jump ahead to the details, and take on too much, without establishing a solid foundation first. And yes, even if you have thought about nutrition for years, you might have skipped right over the foundation part.
What I have seen in years of practice, is that there are some FOUNDATIONS & MINDSET SHIFTS that are essential to any sustainable health change. And in my opinion, these are far more important than all the weeds we get caught up in about what and when to eat.
But, no one wants to talk about mindset, right? It’s way more work than if you just TELL ME what to do. Mindset work can be hard, and takes time. And, the worst part might be that NO ONE ELSE can do it for you.
Still, I’m here to tell you that THIS is the difference between the clients that see lasting changes, and those that do not.
So over the next few weeks I want to share with you what I think are a few of the most fundamental mindset shifts.
But here’s the thing, you don’t have to adopt them all at once. In fact, most mindset shifts take a good bit of practice. So I encourage you, as you follow along, to identify 1 or 2 things to focus on first. Pick the ones that feel like the most natural next steps.
