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.

I'm taking a bit of a break from the blog, but have no fear...you can look for me elsewhere this week.
