info_outlineOn today’s Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, we're gonna chat about something that can seriously change the game when it comes to your fitness and health goals – the power of consistency
Do you ever feel like you're trying to juggle work, life, and some "me time," but it's like you’re walking a tightrope? And no matter what you do you feel like you can’t get ahead.
While it seems impossible, I've got some simple strategies to help you keep from burning out. Plus, we'll talk about how making a few changes and trading some stuff can help you get the results you’ve been seeking.
It's all about finding balance and making health, life, and personal goals play nice together. As Elizabeth Gilbert once said, "Whatever is practiced will improve."
We also tackle the need to overcomplicate when it comes to self-improvement. Seriously, you don't need to be perfect to start working towards your goals. It's all about staying consistent.
In this episode I share how to spot those actions that'll get you the big wins, and why you should focus on being real and reliable instead of chasing perfection and why sometimes, a good night's sleep beats a killer workout – it's like trying to fill a leaky bucket with water.
I've got some practical tips for you on how to stay consistent. We'll talk about smashing obstacles, making backup plans, and when it's time to reach out for a helping hand.
I finally share how to cut yourself some slack and nail those basics. No need to sweat the small stuff. And guess what? I've got a little something special for you – "#lifestyle66." It's a 66-day program designed to help you crush your goals in a way that's sustainable and fun.
