The Thing that Every Goal I've Ever Hit Had in Common [podcast]
Have you ever told yourself "I'm going to try to eat more protein this week" and then hit Friday feeling like you let yourself down again?
In this episode, Julia shares an insight from a recent journaling prompt about past accomplishments.
When she looked back at the moments she felt most proud of (running a marathon, earning a promotion, becoming #1 on her corporate sales team, and the weight loss season that became the foundation of Eat More with Julia), every single one had 1 thing in common - and she's sharing it with you.
In this episode:
Why "I'm going to try" is a red flag, and the one question to ask every time you catch yourself saying it
The difference between being goal-obsessed and being goal-specific
How Julia built support systems around her biggest wins, and why she couldn't have done it on willpower alone
Why overloading your week with expectations guarantees you'll feel disappointed by Monday afternoon
How to swap "why isn't this easier for me?" for "who do I get to become?"
Your homework: For the next seven days, notice every time you say "I'm going to try to…" Pause and ask yourself: What am I specifically doing to make this happen? Bonus points if you recruit your partner or kids to catch you.
