46. Just because You're Struggling, Doesn't Mean You're Failing
Have you ever felt like you’re failing at your fitness journey and just want to throw in the towel? Well, you’re not alone. I’m Faith, host of Redefine Beautiful, and I’ve been there, but let me be the first to tell you, you’re not failing. You’re trying, and that goes a long way. But let’s dive into this deeper.
What I'm Sharing Today:
Understanding Struggle: I delve into how struggling is a sign of progress. If you're pushing your limits and facing challenges, you're doing it right.
The Importance of Experimentation: I talk about why trying new things in fitness is essential, and how there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I share insights on adapting and experimenting to find what works for you.
Realistic Goals: I explain how to set achievable goals and the importance of re-evaluating them. I discuss the pitfalls of setting unrealistic expectations and how they can hinder your progress.
Journey Over Destination: I emphasize the importance of focusing on the journey rather than just the end goal. This shift in perspective can truly transform your approach to health and fitness.
Building Sustainable Habits: I offer advice on starting with small steps and gradually building habits that last, emphasizing the power of incremental progress.
Mental Health Matters: I discuss the critical role of mental health and maintaining a positive mindset throughout your fitness journey. The way we talk to ourselves is incredibly important.
Changing Your Narrative: I talk about how to change the narrative you tell yourself, moving from negative self-perception to celebrating your strengths and achievements.
This episode is a must-listen if you've ever doubted your abilities or felt overwhelmed by your goals. It's not just about fitness; it's about life and approaching it with a positive, resilient attitude.
