Actually, You Are a Real Runner

When you mess up and you are imperfect, do you scold yourself because you weren't perfect and then not do anything at all?? imperfect = inconsistent?

You have a story running through your head.

The story is:

"I have to be perfect or I am shit."

It's the all/nothing mindset.

 Let's overcome that mindset. Let's rewrite that story.

Answering your questions----> "How many habits should we try to break at once? Or I guess I should say how many new habits should we implement at a time?"   Quick answer: if your life is super chaotic and super stressful, start with a habit that will help make your life less chaotic and less stressful. Otherwise you're attempting 8 million random habits waaaaay outside your zone of proximal development, you'll get overwhelmed because the random tasks are increasing stress rather than reducing stress, and you'll quit everything and be back at 0 again. Shoot.   The action items to take: 1. Decide what time you need to go to bed and create a routine around it. 2. Decide what thing in the morning you can look forward to and do before you do things for other people. DOING THIS WILL SOLVE A LOT OF YOUR PROBLEMS- WILL REDUCE STRESS, MAKE LIFE LESS CHAOTIC AND MORE ENJOYABLE...   Shoot me an email: [email protected]   Grab the ol' 365 Habit Tracker: https://bit.ly/the365HabitTracker

So many people feel frustrated with themselves because they don’t stick with self-care habits.

With Systems for Self-Care, you'll take care of yourself CONSISTENTLY AND feel good in your head and body.

Here's what to do:

1. Start your morning with a Self-Care Session. It can be 5 minutes to start. Seriously.

2. Write your aspirational identity and a habit that person does.

3. Write all the things your old self will try to say to stop you from doing it. (We all do this. Your old self likes things the same even if same=dysfunctional. Change is unknown and feels scary.)

4. Next to each thing, write what your new self will remind old self so you DO follow through with the habit.

5. When the time comes that old self says the thing, CATCH IT, say the new thing, and DO the new thing.

6. Color in your 365 Habit Tracker or collect evidence in a journal about how awesome you are.

Answering your questions---> "How to stop sabotaging our intended habits when we seem to want to change so badly? And maybe why we are sabotaging ourselves in the first place?"

I used to really struggle with holding myself accountable... I used to not be able to get anything done!! Like anything- it's really embarrasing to think back! And as I turned 30 and 31 and 32 and on, I was like, "Ok, what are you going to do? Are you going to keep struggling or are you going to figure this out?"

So I started working with coaches, I started taking online courses, and I started CREATING SYSTEMS so I felt like I had my life together.

And these systems are amazing. Everyone should know about them! I have ease and peace in my life, and I want that for you too. I can help you create this life too...

Answering your questions---> "creating 'self/solo' accountability!" = How to hold yourself accountable

I used to struggle with going for long periods of time where I wasn’t exercising at all and then I’d try to hype myself up with seeing a personal trainer several times a week or purchasing a gym membership or a maybe a fancy new DVD or a registering for a marathon or doing a 100 day running streak - shall I go on? I would do something that wasn’t sustainable. And then be back right where I started. Back at 0 and super frustrated with myself. I don’t struggle with this anymore because I created amazing consistency and self-care systems that everyone needs to know about. I have peace and ease in my day, and I can help you get there too.   ----> Answering your question: "How to get back into exercise after taking a break..."   Lemme know what you're going to do!

I don’t struggle with this anymore because I have systems for self-care. I have peace + ease, and I can help you get there too.

Do you ever get in your own way?

Have you ever made really cool plans for your life but then you get in your way and don't do that really cool thing? You're not alone. I used to struggle with that too, and then I came up with these great self-care systems. I don't struggle with constantly getting in my own way anymore, and I want that for you too. It's not right for that to be your life over and over and over again. Let's change it.

Answering your questions---> "How to not let yourself get in the way..."

Before:
1. Aspirational Identity
2. SIMPLE system written out step by step
3. Anticipate your self-sabotage pattern
4. Have a go-to thing to say

During:
1. Track reps (365 Habit Tracker and evidence journal)
2. When self-sabotage pops up, refer to your go-to plan

After:
1. PRAISE the behavior change with WORDS- not things, not prizes, not shoes, not food--- WORDS
2. Learn the lesson when you mess up. Make it a teachable moment.
