Steal This Mission-Ready Trick from the Military

 

Did you know that in the military, every phase of every mission has a “contingency plan” (a.k.a. “fallback plan”), just in case the original plan doesn’t work?

 

In other words, they plan to fail.  

My clients and I work on this question at each of our twice-monthly in-person check-in meetings.

"What's coming up that may derail you from these good intentions, and what can you put into place right now to help mitigate that?"

 

And although it might sound counter-intuitive, planning to fail when it comes to health and wellness (especially over the holidays!) can save you from a downward spiral when life "happens".

 

I’m talking about when:

 

  • Something comes up and you don’t have time for your regular routine
  • You’ve got an event and your schedule gets thrown off
  • You’re traveling
  • You have unexpected guests
  • The list goes on and on

 

Rather than expecting yourself to be perfect and quitting the second there's a slip up…

 

It’s better to know you’re likely to slip up and have a fallback plan ready to support you.

 

It can be as simple as going for a walk or having some bodyweight workouts ready that you can do anywhere in just a few minutes!  Or, having emergency protein rations in the desk drawer or car console so you're not so hungry when schedules get messed up.

 

It’s not that your fitness will suddenly deteriorate if you miss a workout/meal prep session or two … the real issue is that you can lose your momentum and motivation!

 

It’s so much easier to KEEP GOING than it is to start back up again.

 

If you need some help coming up with your own fallback plan, my FREE Wellness Bingo Challenge Guide can give you a major boost.

 

This e-Book is perfect for you if:

 

  • You struggle with knowing which actions to take
  • You want an easier way to actually TAKE those actions
  • Or if you’ve tried and failed so many other intense programs where you have to be absolutely perfect every day, and want a simpler, more effective approach!

 

You got this!

 

Committed to your success,

 

P.S.  If you know it’s time to do something different and you don’t want to be in the same place next year with having a body that's NOT fun to live in, I can help you come up with a contingency plan that works for you, your goals, and your lifestyle .... for a lifetime.
