When consistency starts to feel easier
|
Hi Reader, Consistency with exercise—it’s one of those things we all want, yet it can feel tricky at times. I’ve learned that staying consistent isn’t about perfection or pushing through. It’s about how you think about movement. When my clients shift their mindset, everything else falls into place naturally. Here are the three mindset shifts that can make all the difference for you: 1. Change your angleTry approaching movement differently—switch the type, location, or time of day. Sideways steps, a new trail, or a morning walk instead of evening yoga can spark new energy. 2. Just show upHalf the battle is simply being in the space. Even on low-motivation days, roll out the mat, step outside, or press play on a video. Momentum usually follows. 3. Slow down to notice moreRushing can make movement feel like a chore. Slowing down lets you notice your breath, your strength, and the little wins that keep you coming back. Once these mindsets click, movement feels easier—and that’s when all the little creative ideas start working. Here are 13 practical ways I use to stay consistent:

Hey! I recently picked up neuroscientist James R. Doty's first book, Into the Magic Shop, while waiting for his newest book, Mind Magic, to arrive from the library. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect—but it was such a refreshing nonfiction read about how he transformed his life from one of hardship to one of success. Doty shares four “magic tricks” that he learned during his childhood from Ruth, a magic shopkeeper, and I couldn’t help but think about how they apply to exercise, physical...
Hi Reader, This week, a client asked me a question that I just had to share: “What do you think about fitness rings?” I love when clients ask detailed questions like this—it’s a chance to dig into the science and see what’s really useful versus just flashy tech. Fitness rings are getting really popular, and it’s easy to see why. They’re small, comfortable, and they give you a lot of information about sleep, recovery, and movement habits. From an evidence-based perspective, here’s what the...
