do these 6 things daily for just 1 week. watch how your life changes.

In our culture of fad diets, skinny teas, and photoshop – it is very easy to have 𝙪𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 expectations for our own journey.

We’ve all been there, right? Start a new diet, join a new gym or workout class - and by day 5 we expect to see abs when we look in the mirror. Unfortunately 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚, 𝙨𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙘𝙡𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚. Sometimes more than you could have expected.

The urge to quit, start something else, or make the statement “this doesn’t work for me” becomes stronger. That’s when we sometimes see clients reach for the drastic outlets like stimulants, restrictive diets and over exercise.

Hear me out… What if you decided to make the process enjoyable rather than always thinking about the end goal?

In order to do that, you have to give yourself small wins each and every day. Small wins stimulate the reward center in your brain and have a chemical affect in your body that makes you want to chase that feeling.

So, 𝙄 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚:

1. Drink 100oz of water every day this week

2. Be in bed by 9-9:30pm 5 nights in a row

3. Increase weight lifted by 5 lbs this week

4. Be consistent to hit protein goals 5 out of the 7 days

5. 2 nights a week choose a book instead of TV

6. Say 1 nice thing about yourself in the mirror every morning after brushing your teeth

These small changes add up to big habit changes - 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨!
