Every single thing is in my calendar.

What can you do to make things easy for yourself?

For me, every time I went to the gym, I needed to bring a plan.

Otherwise, I'd end up going, feeling confused, overwhelmed, and leaving early.

Go to the gym with a plan.

Maybe you struggle with nutrition.

Go to the grocery store with a meal plan and a list.

This was huge for me when I started my weight loss journey.

looking up meals that I wanted to make, making sure they were healthy, high protein, writing down all the ingredients I needed, going to the grocery store with a plan, meal prepping on Sunday nights, making sure everything's ready to go, get yourself ready and in a headspace where things are easy to check off and easy to achieve.

It's not just about checking boxes, but doing things that make you feel whole.

When I was going through my fitness journey, yes, I was definitely eating healthy, I was exercising, I was doing all the right things, but I also was mentally improving.

I was getting more and more confident every single day, finding happiness in doing hard things.

I think this is a really important piece of the puzzle and finding tools that keep you happy is so important.

Having the power to control our time, our minds and get the most out of our days is

It's really one of the most powerful tools we have.

I don't do things lightly.

Damn.

Like you're competing for something.

But that's...

Can you speak to, like, did you feel any intimidation or insecurity walking into an environment like that?
