"This is the wrong time of year to work on myself."
Less routine, more temptation, a longer to-do list. It's easy to write off November and December and promise yourself that January will be different.
But what if that exact thought is the reason January never sticks?
In this episode, I share my hot take as a nutrition coach (some of my colleagues won't love it) and read a few passages from one of my all-time favorite books for perfectionists that changed how I think about consistency.
In this episode:
The belief about consistency that makes the holidays feel like a dumpster fire
Why I'm officially anti-systems, and what I think actually makes you consistent
The one question I ask clients that changes how they see their habits
What perfectionists do to themselves that leads to overeating and scrolling
The difference between being challenged and struggling (it's not about how hard the task is)
Why I bristle at "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
If you're tired of starting over every January, this one's for you.
