Listen "Why your WHY isn’t good enough"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all been told to “find your why” . That deeper reason behind your fitness goals. Having a strong “why” is important, but it’s not enough on its own. What happens when your why just isn’t cutting it anymore? When motivation fades, life gets messy, and your goals start to feel more like pressure than purpose?What does it actually takes to stay consistent when your why isn’t enough? From the trap of perfectionism to the sneaky ways entitlement shows up in our expectations, this one’s all about the mental side of the journey.True progress comes from combining purpose with earned effort, realistic expectations, commitment through imperfection, self-compassion, and consistent planning.Are you tired of starting over? It’s not about being perfect it’s about learning how to keep showing up.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction 00:55 The Importance of Having a 'Why'02:25 Struggles with Personal 'Why'07:30 Unrealistic Expectations and Entitlement12:40 Perfectionist Prison18:14 Commit to Continue20:09 Visualizing Self-Talk: Bully vs. Best Friend20:59 The Power of Positive Self-Talk21:41 Recognizing Small Wins23:24 Commitment to Progress23:51 The Importance of Planning26:04 Overcoming Resistance to Planning28:05 Decision Fatigue and Planning28:36 The Role of Mindset in Success33:17 The Garden Analogy: Mindset and Action35:19 Addressing Emotional Discomfort41:53 The Importance of Realistic Goals42:41 Coaching and Support45:13 Final Thoughts and EncouragementJoin Our Fitness CommunityIf you're ready to receive truly tailored to YOU 1 on 1 coaching that focuses on more than just the workouts and nutrition , fill out our coaching form HereWant to workout with ME on my app (A 3 day FREE Trial) HereEpisode Links:Mobility ebook HereFollow Rusty on InstagramFollow Nel on InstagramGet 15% off my favourite protein powder HERE
