014: In this episode we are talking about a big struggle for a lot of us and that is staying "on track" on vacation and when you get back home. Spoiler alert: it doesn't involve hitting the hotel gym or finding the healthiest menu item! It's much more fun and mindset-y than that. We discuss:

-scarcity mindset

-how to have fun without feeling like a pile of garbage

-micro actions you can take on vacation to feel good

-what "on track" or "healthy" means to you

0:09 why I haven't posted an episode recently

1:10 "I don't have to be in the mood to do something, to do that thing."

2:07 "Being 'in the mood' is not a prerequisite for action"

2:29 how I implemented this in my own life

3:16 your thoughts aren't always right or meaningful

3:52 your thoughts have a life of their own

4:01 which thoughts are the "real you"

4:35 "just because you think something doesn't mean you have to believe it or take it as a directive"

4:59 motivation comes after action, not vice versa

5:29 get comfortable doing things when you're not in the mood

006: I don't want 2021 to be a stagnant year for my progress so I'm coming at it in a way I never have. I'm using research and mindset shifts to set myself up for success this time. In years past I just brushed off these ideas because it sounded so cheesy and honestly I just didn't want to take the extra effort to do it even though it was such a minimal amount of effort for a potentially massive reward. But I have big goals and I am INTENT on reaching them or getting super close and I know you are too so press play and absorb the best information you'll hear this year on goal setting.
