Total Health in Midlife with Elizabeth Sherman

212: Liking Your Reasons vs. Believing Your Excuses


Listen Later

Have you ever hit snooze on your alarm, promising yourself you’ll walk later, only for later to never happen? Or told yourself, ‘It’s just one chocolate-covered almond,’ only to feel a pang of guilt afterward? These tiny moments of negotiation with yourself can leave you wondering: am I being kind to myself, or just letting myself off the hook? 

In today’s episode, we’re diving into that tricky gray area where reasons meet excuses. How do you tell the difference between a choice that genuinely serves you and one that holds you back from your health goals?

Join me as I tackle one of the most common questions I hear: how do I balance self-compassion with accountability? We’ll explore how to make thoughtful decisions in moments of stress, fatigue, or temptation that align with your long-term health goals—and leave you feeling confident instead of regretful. With relatable examples, actionable tips, and mindset shifts, I’ll show you how to break free from the all-or-nothing trap and trust yourself to make the right call.

If you’re ready to stop starting over on Monday and want to build the self-trust that leads to lasting change, this episode is for you. Tune in now to discover the tools you need to navigate life’s messy middle and create a balanced, healthy life you’re proud of!
