025 | 10 Ways You’re Probably Sabotaging Your Health and Wellness Goals
Sometimes, we’re our own worst enemy when it comes to achieving our health and wellness goals, whether those goals are to lose weight, get stronger, have more energy, or just all around feel better.
The problem is that oftentimes people don’t understand how they’re sabotaging their own efforts. This can be heartbreaking because for a lot of people it becomes so discouraging that they give up on their goals.
In this episode, I break down 10 ways people tend to sabotage their own efforts when it comes to achieving their health and wellness goals:
- Trying too hard
- Making too many changes at once
- Overestimating healthy habits
- Using the wrong things to measure success and progress
- All talk, no action
- Waiting for the “right time”
- Focusing on behaviors that aren’t aligned with your goals
- Too narrow of a focus or too much emphasis on things with minimal impact
- Implementing the tricks before the trade
- Taking advice from unqualified influencers
And because I can’t help myself, there’s one more thing I talk about to discuss how you might be sabotaging your efforts. Check out the episode to hear this bonus tip!
