If you’re anything like me, I tend to acquire a lot of great information, but struggle to take action.
I always have the best intentions, but then BAM! something comes up or I’m derailed by some self- sabotaging old belief system that keeps me stuck.
Any change can be challenging, especially when you are just getting started.
I wanted to dive a bit deeper and share some tips that will help you apply each of the 3 M’s- Macros, Movement, and Mindset, so you can start to see the changes and results happen!
1. MACROS.
Here are three words that I want you to remember: Plan, Prepare, Pack! Start by making a menu for the week. I have found when you put things in writing they become harder to ignore. Look at your week ahead, do you have any days of travel? or some that are super jam packed? PREPARE and PACK food ahead of time., I can’t stress this enough. You will put yourself in a position to make better choices and not sabotage your eating habits. And don’t forget to stay hydrated! 😅
2. MOVEMENT
Like macros, look at your week ahead and plan your workouts. Schedule them in your planner, in your phone, hang them on the wall, whatever you need to do to make sure they become non-negotiable habits like brushing your teeth. I’m going to let you in on a little secret…no one stays motivated all the time, even trainers. It’s about consistency and discipline. It’s about showing up especially when you don’t want to. That’s what creates habits and how you will see results.
3. MINDSET
What are you feeding your mind? Our mindsets are made up of our opinions and belief systems. Making changing for the better can be toouugh!! Daily journaling is key to shining the light on areas that we need to make improvement. Set a timer (ideally first thing in the morning) for 5 minutes and write it all out. No judgements! Don’t hold back.. It’s a morning detox. Start to see where you can replace a negative thought pattern with something positive or proactive. This is not about POSITIVE THINKING. It’s about substituting one idea with another. Here’s an example – replace the thought “I’m too old to start a new career” with “I’m exploring possibilities to use my wisdom and experience to make a difference in the world” Start to strengthen the mental mindset muscle and flex some courage!
And remember, where your focus goes your energy flows!
