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:
Exercise doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to happen. Shift your perspective. Show up. Slow down. Sprinkle in some creativity and curiosity along the way. That’s how consistency starts to feel easier.

Dear Reader, This week — the space between Christmas and New Year’s — often feels a little strange. The rush has slowed. The calendar is quieter. And yet, there’s a hum of what’s next in the background. New plans. Fresh goals. A sense that something should change. Before you jump ahead, I’d like to offer a simple but powerful reminder: You can’t plan where you’re going if you don’t know where you are. And I don’t mean where you wish you were. Or where you used to be. Or where you think you...
Reader, As the calendar inches closer to the heart of the festive season, routines soften, schedules stretch, and attention gets pulled in many directions. There’s a saying you may have heard before: where attention goes, energy flows. And this time of year, our attention often goes outward—toward gatherings, preparation, travel, and making sure everyone else is taken care of. What can quietly slip through the cracks is you. Your body.Your breath.Your inner signals. And yet, your body is...
Hi Reader, December has a way of changing how we move. The ground feels different under our feet. Sidewalks get icy. Snow piles up where we least expect it. And suddenly, something we don’t usually think much about—our ankles—becomes very important. This time of year, I notice two things happening: People are walking a little more cautiously (for good reason).
