Episode 123 - 1 Simple tool busy mamas can use to avoid racking up massive health debt

Episode Notes

Mama,

Every time a busy mama is indecisive or avoids making a decision that leads her to a healthier life, she isn’t staying in the same place, she’s falling behind. And I know that even hearing that you’re falling behind can make you feel awful, or stressed out, but I’m here to tell you it’s not too late. Just because you’re behind doesn’t mean you can’t reach your health goals.

Mama, how many times have you seen an exercise or nutrition program that you thought could be really good for you, but you just couldn’t commit to it? A million and one times, right? Can I get a hand raise in the comments if this is you? (Cause it’s been me too!)

You justified not making a decision or taking time to think about it because you didn’t think there was a cost to waiting. But there was.

Every moment you spend in indecision, you're racking up debt.

Maybe not financial debt, but you’re racking up health debt. And guess what? It's weighing you down unnecessarily! It is distracting, annoying, overwhelming and sabotaging you before you even give yourself the chance to try.

It’s taking you further and further away from your goals without you even realizing it. As bad as it sounds, it doesn’t mean you can’t ever get out of debt.

You can get out of doubt by taking action instead of waiting.

Stop waiting around to see what happens when you don’t do anything.

You have to stop waiting around to see what will happen if you don’t do something, and you have to start making decisions that lead you toward the place you want to go!

Start making proactive decisions

One of the ways women, especially busy mamas, avoid making decisions is by saying they need to check in with other people first.

They want to run things by a spouse, or they want to examine the pros and cons with a friend, etc.

And Mama, I get that! My husband and I like to make decisions together too.

But the problem with saying you need to think it over or talk about it with someone is that nine times out of ten you don’t do that! Right?

Instead, you talk yourself out of it! You tell yourself all the reasons that you shouldn’t do it. And you never even bring it up to your partner!

And that indecision caused you to rack up some serious debt! Every time I wait, you put yourself further away from your goals than before!

You keep eating poorly, even though you know better.

You avoid working out, even though you know you could get stronger.

You break more promises to yourself which leads to mentally beating yourself up.

Mama, you know talking it over isn’t getting you anywhere, you have to stop it! You have to take the leap - even if you’re scared.

Instead of waiting for someone else to weigh in or give you permission to do something you already want to do, what if you asked yourself: Will this move me toward my goals? And then decided to choose or take action on the things that were a resounding yes?

How would that change your life?

Think back on a program that you wanted to do a long time ago but never signed up for.

What would your life look like today if you had said yes? Would you be closer to your goals?

When you change the question from “Can I do this?” or “Do I deserve to do this?” to “Will this move me toward my goals?” it makes making a decision so much simpler!

Start small when reversing your health debt

I talk to mamas all the time who desperately want to decrease their health debt, but they don’t know where to start. And I always tell them the same thing: start where you’re at and then make small adjustments.

The amazing thing about our health is that it’s never too late to reverse it. You’re never too far gone.

If you’re ready to commit to a program, then take the leap and do it! Having a coach guide you through tried and true methods will get you the quickest results.

But, if that’s too big of a step right now, then start small! Choose one thing that could make a big impact on your health and start working on creating that habit.

If you don’t know where to start, here are a few of my favorite ways to help busy mamas start focusing on their health.

I love this quote by James Clear from Atomic Habits (seriously, go read this book!) “Every step you take is a vote for the person you wish to become.”

As you take action toward healthy habits that lead you toward your goals, you’ll see that eventually, you become that person! The debt decreases every time you choose to eat healthier, or move your body, or work on your mind! Each tiny step moves you forward instead of backward.

You’ll discover that you’re worth not just the little changes you’ve been making, but the bigger changes you want to make.

You might be nervous about making a big decision like joining a nutrition program now, but you’ll soon discover that you’re worth it! You do deserve to live a happy, healthy life! And sometimes spending money or time to learn how to do that is worth it.
