We are starting to head into the holiday season, and this time of year can be a notoriously difficult time of year when it comes to staying on track with your fitness, your training, your nutrition, and other things you generally want to have happening in your life.

People often set aside practices that make them feel good in the day to day, often with a promise to start fresh in the new year - all to get through this time of year.
But why does it have to be like this? Why do you have to sacrifice these practices that make you feel strong, healthy, happy, and supported just to get through this time? And are you in fact doing yourself a disservice by doing so?
This is what we’re going to get into today.
We discuss:
The definition of a habit.
How you can get more of the habits you want and fewer of the ones that don’t serve you.
Why you need to give yourself more than 21 days to get a habit to stick.
Why taking on too many habit changes at once is counter productive.
How being too rigid can make you less likely to stick to your goals.
… and more!

Here are some highlights.
How little actions yield the biggest results
“Habits aren’t challenges to be done periodically. The goal of practicing a habit is to turn it into a lifestyle. That’s potentially forever stuff - so approach it that way. Little actions are the ones that yield the biggest and most lasting results.”
The myth of the 21 day habit change
“For some reason, a myth was unleashed upon the world that it takes 21 days for a habit to stick. That’s a big reason why you see so many 21 day fitness or nutrition challenges. People love that number. 21 days. 3 weeks. Sure, I can handle that, right?
Here’s the problem - the 21 day number is not really accurate. In reality, it takes anywhere from 18-254 days to form a new habit. And on average, it takes 66 days for a habit to become automatic.”
Being too rigid leads to giving up
“With any habit practice, you’re going to encounter some bumps in the road. You’ll miss a day or multiple days. For some, that can prompt an extreme result - obviously this isn’t working, time to give up. This is where some flexibility, grace, and self forgiveness comes into play.
So you miss a day? So what? Get back to it the next day.
What if you miss multiple days? What if this habit is feeling REALLY hard?
That’s a good opportunity to take a look and see if you really are taking on too much all at once.”
If you’ve fallen out of your fitness routine and the idea of jumping back in feels as daunting as putting together a work presentation the night before you have to give it, we have a fun freebie for you.
