I’ve realized that I am someone who jumps all in, guns blazing with *everything* I do
I’ll give some examples.
Food- I’ve often believed I have to eat perfectly ALL the time or I’m a failure and won’t reach my goals

Workouts- I have to lift the heaviest weight for the most reps as fast as I can or I won’t see progress. The more the better, always.
Catholicism- heck I felt the need to discern religious life before even being confirmed

I always want to be doing the most, accomplishing it all, perfectly without a slip up
And this all or nothing mentality has allowed me to fail (many times)
In the past year, I’ve worked to rewire my brain in a lot of ways.

In the past year, I’ve worked to rewire my brain in a lot of ways.
Food- I stopped tracking food for awhile, ate what I wanted and have come back to eating mostly whole, nutrient dense foods
Workouts- I took ALL the rest days. Dropped weight, hammered technique, slowed it all down.

Catholicism- I literally walked away. I left for a year.

Not only will I reach the goal, I will have formed very solid habits in the process.... habits that I can carry throughout the rest of my life.

Allowing my habits to shape my life and create a life I truly love and can live forever, that’s the goal.

Health (physical, mental, spiritual), has no end. There is no timeline to perfect your health in... it’s life. A continuum that you’ll be on until you die. Don’t rush, enjoy the process.
