Episode #190

In this week's episode, Terri is joined by Coach Heather Shuker to discuss ways to get back into fasting for folks who may be struggling after not having fasted for a while. 

Terri and Heather discuss the video/board game analogies to illustrate how you may be out of practice, but that does not mean you are back at the beginning completely.

  • Just like in video games, when you lose a life, you don't have to start over from the beginning. You can pick up where you left off and continue progressing. The same applies to habits and goals - you don't have to start from scratch if you've fallen off track. (01:31)
  • It's common for people to return to healthy habits like fasting after a period of time away. It’s a bit like dusting off an old video game or board game - you may need to relearn some of the mechanics, but you don't have to start over completely. (06:53)
  • If you want to stay proficient at something, you need to stay in the game. The key is to be patient with yourself and focus on consistency rather than perfection. Small, daily steps are more important than trying to achieve your goals quickly. Showing up and making the effort consistently is what leads to long-term success. (09:23)
  • The importance of maintaining support systems and communities, even after reaching your goals. Just like in addiction recovery, continuing to participate in the Community can help you stay on track. (10:22)
  • The danger of too much too soon. A great indicator of success is that you keep showing up. (18:23)
  • Focus on the process rather than just the outcome, and remember that getting back on track is about dusting off old skills, not starting from scratch. (22:40)
