In this episode I discuss why, for most people, macro tracking becomes redundant when you have strong self regulation skills. I walk you through the 5 step process we use in coaching to help you make intentional food choices, develop confidence in your body and yourself, and manage your thoughts and emotions in ways that move you towards your goals. This is a much more powerful approach that will give you the skills to show up as the person you want to be in all areas of your life.

You're feeling motivated right now but what about when that initial enthusiasm fades? That's where self-accountability comes in. It's your ability to take action when you don't feel like it AND your ability to recover from setbacks that will determine whether you reach your goals. It's following through on the things you say to yourself because they're important to you and make your life better. In this episode I teach you how.

If you want to make some changes next year but you're not sure where to start, begin with reflecting on this past year. In this episode, I walk you through the process using my experience as an example. Skipping the reflection will mean you'll end up repeating the same mistakes and spinning your wheels. Taking the time to reflect will also help you be more intentional with the goals you do set, so they actually make a difference to how you feel. Consider: What did you accomplish this year? What do you want to continue to do more of in the future? What do you not want to repeat? What are things you want to re-prioritise and put back into your vision for this upcoming year? How do you want to feel? What areas of growth will you focus on? What goals do you want to accomplish? To develop the mindset you need to focus on your own growth next year, get on the waitlist for Crushing Comparisons HERE.

How often do you compare yourself to others? Whether it's your body or your business, you probably compare way more than you think. And how does that make you feel about yourself? Whilst comparisons can be inspiration, more often than not we use comparative information to judge ourselves and put ourselves down. This just erodes our self confidence. You can't just simply stop comparing yourself to others, but you can learn how to manage your mind and stop letting comparisons get you down. To compare less and build your self confidence, get on the waitlist for Crushing Comparisons launching Jan 1st!
