Why do we self-sabotage?
Last week, we tackled the not-so-glamorous truth that discipline beats motivation (every time). But even with the best plans, habits, and intentions, many of us still find ourselves knee-deep in snack wrappers wondering “What happened?” Enter: self-sabotage. That baffling habit of blocking our own goals with full awareness and a side of regret.
Stop wishing it were easy - Start getting BETTER
"Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better." – Jim Rohn If getting in shape, feeling strong, and fuelling your body properly were easy, everyone would already have their dream body, endless energy, and massive confidence. But the truth is, it’s not supposed to be easy. It’s supposed to make you grow.
Train your brain to win
Didn’t tick off every box on the to-do list? Useless. Missed a workout? Hopeless. Someone left a three-star review instead of five? Meanwhile, 100 glowing comments, kind words, compliments, and little wins drift off into oblivion like socks in a tumble dryer. Forgotten. Unappreciated. Ignored. Sound familiar? It’s not just you—it’s human nature. We’re wired to spot the negative. It’s a leftover survival mechanism from when we had to avoid sabre-toothed tigers and the occasional neighbour who fancied clubbing us over the head for our berries. But here’s the good news: that wiring? It’s not permanent. You can retrain your brain. Like muscles in the gym, your mindset gets stronger with deliberate, consistent practice. Start small. Start now.
One Small Decision Today, a Whole New Season Ahead
Let’s take a second and be honest. How many times have you told yourself: “I’ll get back to it after the summer.” “I just need to get through this busy patch.” “Once the kids are sorted, then I’ll focus on me.” And then… September arrives. And you feel like you're back at square one. Low energy. Frustrated. Wondering how the weeks slipped past. Here’s your reminder: You don’t need to overhaul your life — You just need to say yes to a season that supports you.
What If It Could Be Easy?
Take a breath and have a think about this... We’ve been sold the idea that change must feel uncomfortable, intense, or overwhelming. That you’ve got to grind, restrict, or hustle your way toward your goals. Now hard work does pay off, but there's applying it sensibly and well for longevity.
How Can I Make It Easier
I'm pretty sure most of us don’t struggle with knowing what to do, especially if you've been following this newsletter for the last 6 months. We know the basics... Move more, eat well, get good sleep (7 or 8 hours ideally!). Drink water, set boundaries, positive self-talk and take a moment to breathe.
