Main excuses we tell ourselves when we DON’T want to eat healthily or exercise…
This is a check yourself email. Make sure you know how to smell out excuse and perfectionist talk.
-
I don’t have time. This is lack of priority and creativity. There is always time if you want to make it.
-
I will start tomorrow. Freshness and opportunity are in each moment.
-
I need to rest. Inflammation suggests a lack of movement and poor nutritional choices. Go easy on yourself, but don’t just stop. Stopping takes away momentum.
-
It’s not working. That is your self esteem. Check in with yourself on that one. Exercise and body composition tend to correlate, but it isn’t the only correlation.
-
I’m having a bad day. Self deprecation…not self care. Get your shit in the open and walk.
-
I feel like I’m going backwards. Who truly knows if you are going backwards or forwards? Take the temperature of your consistency, not your perfection.
-
Things are too hard. Maybe, but dopamine can be powerful. Find it.
If you are falling off the wagon, just check in with why. I have a hard time understanding self love as being sad with who you are.
Go easy, but keep moving.
