Do you also struggle with the whiplash of ‘all or nothing’?
I will be allll in on a grind, on a sprint, on a Whole 30, on whatever discipline.
But sometimes, I’ll go so hard from a place of resistance that I burn myself out, and then I go the opposite direction.
Sweats and CrunchWraps seem like the best route.
Then I snap out of it and I go hard the other direction.
Back and forth.
Sometimes the phases are prolonged (e.g. I’ll be super healthy for my entire 40s and then backslide HARD for two weeks after I turn 42… this is my real life right now).
But today I had this interesting realization. Instead of going hard at ‘discipline’ maybe it’s time to go hard on putting in systems or asking for help so I don’t burn out the next time.
