The “what to do” stuff is literally everywhere — on Google results, in Pinterest searches, during an Instagram scroll session...coaches run ads on social media all the time. Then why don’t we just DO IT!? Well, that’s where things get sticky...

While planning most certainly can help you feel productive… in reality, it all actually does absolutely NOTHING when it comes to actually moving you forward just because you did them. When it's just a plan, you can’t fail, no matter how thorough and confident you feel in that plan...there's safety in staying in that phase.

But you may be wondering: how long does it really take to build a habit? We’ve all heard various theories: 21 days, 30 days, 66 days, 90 days… But what if we’re looking at habit formation duration all wrong? What if, instead of asking how many days it takes, we ask the real question: How many repetitions does it take to form a habit?

September feels like the perfect time for a challenge! Choose literally just ONE HABIT you already know will move you in the right direction this month, and maybe this entire season.

Humans are creatures of habit. But that doesn't mean we autmatically keep all the habits that are the best for us... Many give up on their healthy habits not because they’re lazy, but because they’re simply exhausted. But when that exhaustion sets in, it can certainly feel like laziness. Which can lead to one of the most common (and damaging) assumptions: “I guess I just don't have enough discipline.”

You may or may not hear many people talk about this... but I've encountered it with enough clients to recognize that it's a real thing: The weird summer slump that shows itself mid-July. You might find yourself feeling a little more meh than you normally do — especially when it comes to sticking with your usual workouts, food choices, or daily habits. When you experience energy dips, it's OK for your habits to lighten up, as well.

You’ve got goals — whether it’s having more energy, reducing stress, improving gut health, or getting your family's meals in order...or any number of goals. It's not just the actions you're taking, but keeping in mind the kind of person you want to be while you're at it.

Do just ONE hard thing today. Not every single habit on your tracker or with any hint of perfection. Not everything on the to-do list. Just one thing that can move you forward right now.

You may not realize it, but you've probably heard some variation of this "rule" ...and it’s probably also happening in your life without you even being totally aware of it. Here it is: The Pareto Principle (sometimes also called the 80/20 Rule)—and it basically states that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts.

Even committing to JUST 5 MINUTES at a time can help transform your routine. Over time, after that 5 minutes takes root, it can grow to 30 minutes that you enjoy and look forward to.

I’ve got a little fitness & health self-audit to help you assess your current situation, and help to keep you on track with your habits.

Real progress isn’t about perfection. It IS about consistency, even when the circumstances aren’t ideal.

Instead of trying to overhaul your habits all at once, focus on a few impactful habits that fit your lifestyle.

How much more would you enjoy your habits if you gamified them?

The easiest way to see quicker results is to focus on just 2-3 habits that you can maintain consistently for the next 30 days.

Research shows that overloading ourselves actually makes it much harder to stick with new habits.

I hope you're enjoying the last few moments of the holiday season! I spent New Year's Eve as I often do...watching movies and NYE...

With the holidays soon winding down, you might be craving a more reliable routine structure again…I know I am! But with little time left...

Real talk: saying “no” to family or friends around the holidays can be pretty tough. ●     Saying “no thanks” to food you don't want at...

So, you ate more than you planned … Now what? Most people will: ●     Mentally beat themselves up with self talk like... “Why do I always...
