Hey!
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.
The hard part?
Doing those things consistently — when life is chaotic, when you’re tired, when you don’t feel motivated and when your schedule feels like a runaway train.
So, let's say this out loud...
You don’t need to be MORE disciplined.
You need to make it EASIER to choose well.
If every healthy choice feels like a battle, it’s not because you’re weak — it’s because your environment, routines, or mindset might not be set up to support you yet.
This is the mindset shift that changed everything for me:
It’s not just about trying harder. It’s about designing smarter.
Take a look around your daily life.
What in your environment supports your goals?
And what silently works against them?
It could be:
Task: Do an Alignment Audit
Grab a notebook and ask yourself:
Even tiny changes (like setting your workout gear out the night before or prepping one meal in advance) can create massive ripple effects.
When energy and willpower are low (which is often), we fall to the level of our systems — not our goals.
Let’s make those systems work for you, not against you.
Examples:
None of this is flashy. It’s not complicated.
But it works — because it lowers the friction between you and the choice you want to make.
If you’re aiming for perfect, you’re aiming to quit.
Sustainable progress is built on showing up most of the time, not all of the time.
So the real question becomes:
“How can I create a lifestyle where 80% aligned is doable… and even enjoyable?”
Reflection Prompt:
Where in your life are you making things harder than they need to be?
And what’s one way you can make your next aligned choice easier?
Practical Task:
Pick ONE friction point and change it this week.
(It can be your environment, a routine tweak, or a system setup.)
Then observe: how much more doable do your goals feel?
You are not lazy.
You are not inconsistent.
You are not undisciplined.
You are human — and humans thrive in supportive systems, not chaotic ones.
So instead of piling more pressure on yourself, try asking:
“How can I make this easier?”
Because easier is repeatable.
Repeatable becomes consistent.
And consistent becomes unstoppable.
You’ve got this. You’re already doing the hard part — caring enough to change.
Let’s keep building the life that supports the version of you you’re becoming.
