David McRae- No More Excuses
Long ago, I read a quote that at the time was only slightly annoying, but since then, it has continued to gnaw away at my sense of complacency, while also letting me experience the fun feelings of self-directed shame and disappointment. I mean, who wouldn’t sign up that?!
The quote goes like this, “You’re either making progress, or you’re making excuses.” A lot of us have heard that, it’s not a new concept, and It’s a brutal truth that doesn’t leave much room for our BS.
So, Fast forward to a text I received recently from my own health and fitness coach checking in on my progress, and I thought to myself, “What progress, all I’ve got are excuses.” And that’s how this episode came into existence
Today’s guest is David McRae, a health and wellness coach who has heard his fair share of excuses over the years. We talk about why we sometimes make excuses instead of progress, and most importantly, what we can do about it.
