The Power of Starting Small - Monday Motivation

Happy Monday, friend! As you start a new week, it's a great time to focus on your health and wellness goals. Whether you're just starting out on your journey or looking to build upon existing habits, it's important to approach your wellness in a way that is sustainable and achievable (hopefully starting with a plan!).

One of the biggest challenges that many of our students face when starting a wellness plan is setting realistic expectations for themselves. We often have grand ambitions of running a marathon or even just of hitting the gym every day, but these goals can be overwhelming and difficult to maintain over time. That's why it's essential to start small and build confidence over time.

Instead of jumping into an intense workout routine or strict diet plan, try starting with something that is actually possible within your lifestyle. For example, if you're new to exercise, recovering from injury, or coming back after a bit of a hiatus, consider going for a 15-minute walk a few times a week and maybe adding 20 minutes of gentle yoga into your routine (like the videos we have in the AnyTime Studio). These small changes may seem insignificant, but they can allow you to be more consistent, which will have a big impact over time.

What you need to remember is to be patient and compassionate with yourself. It's natural to experience setbacks and slip-ups along the way, but these moments don't have to derail your progress! By focusing on the positive changes you're making and celebrating your successes (no matter how small), you can build confidence and motivation to keep going. As you build confidence, you want to keep going, this is critical!

One of the most significant benefits of starting small is that it allows you to gradually increase the number or intensity of your workouts, or improve your nutrition habits over time. By taking small steps, you'll be able to establish a solid foundation that you can build upon in the future. This approach will not only help you achieve your goals, but also make the process more enjoyable and sustainable. The key here is enjoyable.
