Happy Tuesday. In this episode, we talk about how to stay consistent during a stressful week.
Stressful weeks happen in different ways. Sometimes life throws curveball after curveball and you still get everything done. Sometimes you adjust on the fly and get some of the plan done. Sometimes the week or even the month gets away from you and the best move is to step back for a bit. All of these are part of a long term fitness and life process.
This episode focuses on the weeks that go sideways but are not completely lost. The goal is not all or nothing. The goal is learning how to live in the middle.
We talk about redefining what success looks like for that specific week. What does consistency look like right now. What does follow through look like right now. When life changes, the plan has to change too.
We talk about scaling things back instead of quitting. Making the plan more manageable based on what life is asking of you. This is how you learn to trust yourself.
We look at what you already do without fail. Sleep routines. Wake up times. Work schedules. Basic meals. Daily responsibilities. These things show you that you are already consistent in many ways.
We talk about focusing on effort instead of outcomes. Results might look different in a hard week, but effort still counts. Showing up the best you can builds self trust.
We talk about protecting your energy. Water. Rest. Sleep. Naps when possible. Saving energy wherever you can. Taking care of yourself when life feels heavy.
This is not about being perfect. This is about learning how to support yourself when things go sideways. Over time, this builds trust. Trust that you can navigate hard weeks. Trust that you can adjust. Trust that you can keep going.
This is part of living an inside/out life. It is not about forcing your way through stress. It is about meeting life where it is and showing up in a way that fits.
Stressful weeks will keep coming. This episode helps you learn how to walk through them without losing yourself.
