This is SO important!
So often I speak to women and they want to feel like they’re living the 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 healthy lifestyle.
They want the coveted morning routine, the 10k steps 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆, the journalling, meditating, super nutritious meals, the 3x a week workouts, 2-3litres of water a day and 8 hours of sleep a night.
Now in an ideal world, this would be great.
But let’s get really honest with ourselves. For the VAST majority of people…this is hard to maintain consistently, every day.
The perfect healthy lifestyle literally doesn’t exist. Think about it, if you were doing all of these things, every day…what would you have to sacrifice?
And how would those sacrifices impact you?
They’d likely make you more stressed out.
So yes there would be lots of amazing action going towards your health but your well-being would be suffering because other areas of your life would have to give.
When we see influencers pushing this “perfect” lifestyle, likelihood is they’re either so highly paid from ads etc that they don’t have to “work” and therefore their “perfect” lifestyle IS their work. That’s what sells you the products that get them paid.
Or
They are sharing the elements of their lives that they want you to see. They aren’t sharing the mornings when they stay in bed or the days when they stay in their PJ’s on the sofa eating snacks.
And so we are lead to believe that they live every. single. day. in this “perfect” way!
Impossible.
I call bullsh*t! 🙋🏻♀️
I want you to get this idea of consistency out of your head. This idea of having to do things in a certain way in order to be healthy.
I want you to start asking yourself, what actually WORKS for me? What fits in with my life without stressing me out? What feels good? How often in an ideal world would I like to fit each of these positive habits into my life? Ok and now what would be good enough?
Aim for good enough.
If you can do the habits and actions more often then great!
But let’s stop aiming for the non existent perfect and start aiming for good enough. 💖
