The Simple Truth About Getting Results (Hint: It's Not About Motivation)
Hey! Let's chat about something I see all the time in my coaching practice - and maybe you've experienced it, too. You know that feeling when you're scrolling through Instagram, saving workout videos and healthy recipes, making plans in your head about "starting next week," and hoping that somehow all this mental preparation will magically transform into actual results?
I hate to break it to you (actually, no I don't - because this is going to free you), but all the vision boards and Pinterest boards in the world won't get you closer to feeling strong and energized if you're not taking action. And I don't mean perfect, all-or-nothing action. I'm talking about real, messy, this-is-actually-doable action.
Here's the thing about waiting for the "perfect time" to start: it doesn't exist. There will always be a birthday party coming up, a busy week at work, or a kid with the sniffles. Life doesn't pause so we can get our health together. And honestly? That's okay. Because getting stronger and healthier isn't about waiting for perfect conditions - it's about learning to move forward despite imperfect ones.
"But where do I even start?" I hear you asking. (Maybe while sipping your coffee and feeling slightly called out - don't worry, I've been there too!)
Let's break this down into something that actually feels manageable:
Instead of trying to overhaul your entire life overnight, what if you just:
Moved your body for 10 minutes today
Added some veggies to your next meal (aim for two handfuls)
Picked a bedtime that could give you 7 hours of sleep
Sounds way less overwhelming than "get in shape," right?
Because here's what I know for sure after years of coaching women: Those small actions, done consistently (not perfectly!), are what create real change. It's not about having an "all in" weekend where you meal prep enough food to feed an army and work out until you can't walk. It's about showing up for yourself in small ways, day after day.
Think of it like this: If you're teaching a kid to read, you don't hand them War and Peace and say "good luck!" You start with the basics. You practice consistently. You celebrate small wins. And before you know it, they're reading chapter books.
Getting stronger and healthier works the same way. It's about:
Skills: Learning to move your body with intention
Practices: Building consistency, even when life gets crazy
Small Actions: Choosing to show up for yourself, one tiny decision at a time
And here's the best part: You don't have to figure this out alone. That's exactly why I created the Follow-Through Formula - a free 3-week program designed to help you turn those good intentions into actual results.
No more hoping, wishing, or waiting for the perfect time. Just clear, actionable steps and the support you need to actually follow through. Because you deserve to feel strong, energized, and capable in your body - not just think about it.
