151. Overcoming the Procrastination Cycle: Turning Planning into Action for Fitness Success


Listen Later

I am sooo pumped to be chatting with you twice a week on the podcast! To kick off this first FRIDAY episode, I want to dive into a topic I know many of us can relate to: procrastination.



Procrastination can present differently for everyone, but it often shows up as excessive planning and preparation. For me, this is what it looked like as I’ve been wanting to release 2 episodes/week for a while. I kept putting them off, because I thought I needed to have every single detail planned out!



Maybe you’ve experienced this with your fitness journey. You’re planning every freaking detail out and spending SO much time researching macros, tracking apps, journals, workouts, and everything in between. You may *think* you’re being productive and making progress with your goals, but in reality, you’re not doing anything that is moving the needle forward!



Planning feels ‘safe’, but honestly, planning and researching are just subtle forms of procrastination. You NEED to stop holding yourself back, and instead, move forward with messy action!



I don’t want procrastination to keep you from reaching your fitness goals (or even starting in the first place). Planning is important, but ACTION is where progress happens. It’s time to overcome the procrastination cycle, and DO something!!



In this episode, we cover:

  • Why you easily get stuck in the endless ‘planning’ cycle
  • Why planning isn’t *actually* productive or beneficial for you
  • 4 factors that hold you back from taking action
  • What procrastination is REALLY costing you
  • Ways to help you break free from the ‘planning’ trap
