Thinking โ Here's Why It's Keeping You STUCK!
Good morning SUPERSTARS!! ๐ We are starting this week with a truth bomb that is going to completely change how you approach your health journeyโฆ
All or nothing thinking is the #1 reason most people never reach their wellness goals โ and it's time to ditch it FOR GOOD!
Raise your hand if you've ever thought any of theseโฆ ๐โโ๏ธ
โ "I missed my workout so the whole day is ruined"
โ "I ate one cookie so I may as well finish the whole box"
โ "I can't do this perfectly so why bother at all"
โ "I'll start fresh on Monday โ again"
Here is what the research on behaviour change actually tells us:
๐ง The 80/20 principle wins every single time
People who aim for consistency 80% of the time and allow flexibility 20% of the time lose MORE weight and keep it off LONGER than those who try to be perfect 100% of the time!
๐ง "Good enough" beats "perfect" every day
A 20 minute walk beats a skipped 60 minute gym session EVERY time
A mostly healthy meal beats an all-or-nothing binge cycle EVERY time
Showing up imperfectly beats not showing up at all EVERY time
๐ง Recovery speed is the REAL skill
The most successful healthy people aren't the ones who never slip โ they are the ones who get back on track the FASTEST after they do!
Your challenge this week:
Every time you catch all-or-nothing thinking creeping in โ pause and ask yourself: "What is the 80% option here?"
We want to hear from YOU! ๐ What is your biggest all-or-nothing trap?
Drop it in the comments and let's work through it together as a community!
