The Balanced Body Podcast

Just start - how to stop overthinking it and make progress towards your goals


Listen Later

I came across a post in a diet program Facebook group recently, which had 74 comments, all from people saying the same thing. They'd paid for a program, felt overwhelmed within the first hour, and just hadn't started. Some had been sitting on it for over a year, lurking in the group, watching everyone else make progress and wondering what was wrong with them.

Sound familiar? Because I think this happens more than we talk about. And I don't think it means you're lazy or unmotivated. I think there's usually something else going on, like perfectionism, fear of failure, waiting for the right time, waiting to feel ready. And the longer you wait, the harder it gets.

In this episode I talk about:

  • The stages of change
  • Why perfectionism tricks you into doing nothing at all
  • The mistake of relying on motivation
  • Acknowledging that life will never fully calm down
  • How the way you perceive yourself influences your choices
