Episode notes
Start With Goals You Can Finish Today
- Set goals you can actually complete today to build momentum and avoid discouragement.
- Example: if you've never run one mile, start with a half mile (or shorter) so confidence grows toward a five-mile goal.
Schedule Priorities First And Learn To Say No
- Prioritize activities that align with your values by blocking them into your schedule first and saying no to less important requests.
- Example: protect your run time from dinners or late work so exercise doesn't get displaced.
Use Moderate Daily Movement To Restore Motivation
- Use regular moderate exercise to boost motivation, mood, energy, and productivity when you're feeling low.
- Aim to get the blood flowing five times a week with power walking or active house cleaning if needed.
