As humans, I think we can all relate to setbacks, changes in our mood, schedules etc.

All these unexpected circumstances can impact our nutrition, fitness, and wellness. The truth is it happens to us all. What we are often tempted to do is focus on all the things we cannot do:

“I don’t have time to make it to the gym.”

“My schedule is too full to meal prep.”

“I’m too tired.”

And the list goes on and on. 

While ALL of these are valid and real, focusing on the things you cannot do or are OUT OF YOUR CONTROL won’t get you far. Instead, I challenge us to change our focus on the things we CAN CONTROL:

We all will go through different seasons in life that will force our nutrition and fitness habits to change and look different at times. What is most important is that we don’t fall into the ALL OR NOTHING MINDSET.

Just because it looks different or is not your “ideal” does not mean you completely give up. Instead, give yourself permission to move 10 minutes if that’s all you can do rather than nothing at all. 

Remember – every little thing counts, and it adds up.
