The surprising advice I gave my crazy busy client

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, especially if you’re super goal-oriented.

It’s not about being “on” or “off” her health & fitness routine.

Instead, it’s about doing the best you can RIGHT NOW.

Over the long run, it’s your everyday habits that have the biggest impact on your health & fitness.

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
  • Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night

All of these actions will add MORE to your life.

More energy (and less stress!) … and 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 solutions that work with your schedule & goals.
