What to Do When You're "TOO BUSY" for Healthy Habits

The other day I met with a client who was SO frustrated because it felt like everything in her life was working against her goals.

She has a demanding job … her family life is hectic … AND she is taking on some new responsibilities with her aging parents.

“There is absolutely no time for ME,” she told me.

And you know what?  She’s right.  She has a TON on her plate.

So I suggested she make a mindset shift … and CUT HERSELF SOME SLACK.

Which can be incredibly hard to do.

It’s not about being “on” or “off” her health routine.  Instead, it’s about doing the best she can RIGHT NOW.  

I encourage my clients to think about it as being more like a volume dial vs and on/off switch.  Some days are a 10 and some days are a 1 ... and as long as the volume level is not 0, then it's still a win for the day. 

Over the long run, it’s everyday habits and choices that have the biggest impact on a person's health.

Habits like:

• Making healthy food choices
• Choosing activity when possible (walks, brief exercise sessions)
• When you can, schedule 2-3 workouts a week (in pen) in your calendar (check out my newest e-book "Mix and Match Workout Builder"  ... no gym or fancy equipment required ... for new ideas)
• Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night

All of these actions will add MORE time and quality to your life.

More energy … less stress … more vitality to take on each and every day, feeling strong and empowered.

It’s also a great time to hire a coach.

When you’re facing challenges, you NEED support, accountability, and a troubleshooter who can step back and see the big picture …

… and help you come up with personalized solutions that work with your schedule & goals.

Make it an amazing day,
