If you have an all or nothing thinking about eating & exercising, you already probably know that it doesn't serve you. You know what I'm talking about - when we feel like we need to be all in, and if we're not all in, we're all out.
Either we're eating organic vegetables & home made meals, or we're ordering take out.
Why is it so hard for us humans to moderate? Especially when it comes to our health habits?
We think it should be easy - and at the beginning it is. But when life becomes stressful, or conditions are less than ideal, and we can't live up to the expectations that we've set for ourselves, we feel like we've failed.
One of the keys to success is to become resilient - to catch failure, correct our response, & move past it without making it mean that we've failed - that WE are a terrible person for not living up to the expectations that we've set for ourselves.
And so learning how to interrupt your thought process and insert better, more productive, thoughts - thoughts that will help you to recover from a failure and mitigate the damage can be a really useful tool in our quest to change our health behaviors.
Tune in to learn how to turn failure thinking into resilience thinking.

Hey! I love hearing from you. Send me a text. Let me know what resonated with you.
If you’re a woman in midlife who wants better health without obsessing over weight, you’re in the right place. I’m Elizabeth Sherman, a life and health coach and host of the Total Health in Midlife Podcast.
After coaching hundreds of women, I know the real problem usually isn’t “not enough information” – it’s too much of it, and not knowing where to start. With close to 300 episodes, this show can feel that way too.
To make it easy, I created a free Listener’s Roadmap that helps you figure out which episodes are right for you right now. Tell me what you’re struggling with – low energy, emotional eating, stress, sleep, exercise, or all of the above – and I’ll point you to a curated path of episodes and resources to get you moving.
