Listen Later

We’re officially entering one of the busiest seasons of the year, which makes it easier to give up our fitness goals. But it is important to know that you don’t have to give up any of your goals just because life is chaotic, you can make time for it all. Making the right choices and focusing on your goals even as you prioritize other things will ensure that you still stay motivated and healthy.

In this episode of the Live Your Personal Best podcast, I share tips on how to stay motivated even in the approaching busier season. Listen in to learn how to plan your schedule to accommodate all your goals and priorities while still having time to enjoy yourself.

Key Takeaways:

·      Fit your fitness goals into your schedule even if it’s shorter than usual. 

·      Focus on doing what’s possible in this busier season instead of focusing on doing it how you like.

·      Have a consistent schedule for fitness while setting aside time to rest to avoid burnout.  

·      Stop comparing yourself and focus on progressive steps prioritizing your needs and wants.

·      Make time for things that you enjoy without allowing busyness to take that from you.

·      Start reminding yourself of your future goals to stay motivated.
