welcome to part seven of our
0:03
troubleshooting series we are just going
0:04
to put it all together in this part um
0:07
making it all work right now so we’re
0:10
going to talk about creating that
0:11
personal plan and I know that everything
0:14
we’ve talked about so far during the
0:15
series have been all about you know a
0:18
lot of habits that can be built up over
0:20
time so keep that in mind it’s over time
0:22
you’re building these new habits it does
0:24
not have to be done all at once I know
0:26
sometimes that uh when we’re thinking
0:28
about how we want to make changes it can
0:29
be really overwhelming because there are
0:31
so many things that you can work on so
0:34
pick one thing again back to our goal
0:36
setting pick one thing that you want to
0:37
work on and work uh back from there so
0:41
get that one thing completed add another
0:43
thing on add another habit on so you can
0:45
tack on a little bit at a time you’ve
0:47
got your whole life to get better but um
0:50
take some time to get into it so it’s
0:52
not too overwhelming um again start easy
0:55
stack on to that um and everyone is
0:57
different so keep your blinders on
1:00
what’s going to work for you is going to
1:01
be totally different from um you know
1:03
your spouse your friend your co-worker
1:06
um what’s going to work for them is
1:07
different for you too so keep your
1:09
blinders on uh and experiment too keep
1:12
in mind that maybe something that you
1:13
try might not be perfect maybe you try
1:16
something that someone else is doing and
1:17
it doesn’t work for you that’s okay you
1:19
can always get rid of that habit try a
1:22
new one or adjust it for what will work
1:23
for you better um that’s totally fine so
1:26
keep in mind that you can do what you’ve
1:28
got to do for you um and get take some
1:31
time to you know find that flow for
1:33
yourself handling future challenges this
1:36
is something that you know as we carry
1:38
on life happens um you’re building up
1:41
the tools on your tool belt right now so
1:43
that you know you can get the basics
1:46
down um you know how to meal prep you
1:48
know how to meal get your meals in the
1:51
right time you know how to make good
1:52
choices you know how to build a healthy
1:54
plate again you’re going to build those
1:56
habits over time so that when things get
1:59
hectic Life Changes you’ve got a new
2:02
shift or a new job or whatever it is you
2:04
can reassess quickly and rebuild you
2:07
know uh how you know what works for you
2:10
and you can make those slight
2:11
adjustments to work for that new
2:13
lifestyle change or um work change
2:16
family change whatever it is um so that
2:19
you can go back to your Basics on your
2:20
tool belt and remember lastly change
2:23
isn’t linear give yourself Grace adjust
2:26
your goals as needed sometimes we have
2:28
to take a few steps back to move forward
2:30
again sometimes it’s just really helpful
2:31
to take a couple steps back and go oh
2:33
wait when I am not meal prepping I now
2:37
know this is what happens and I need to
2:39
make sure I’m prioritizing that for
2:40
example or when I’m not setting my
2:43
reminders for my meals I know that I can
2:46
get really hungry and feel like I need
2:47
to overeat when I get home from work um
2:49
so things like that so that you you know
2:52
are recognizing hey I put this Habit in
2:55
place maybe I wasn’t able to do it but
2:57
now I know better and I know how to
2:59
actually make it work for me or I know
3:01
that I need to prioritize that too um so
3:03
again give yourself Grace because take
3:06
some time to get into all those habits
3:08
to figure out what actually works best
3:10
for you um but that’s how you get that
3:12
sustainable change um by finding your
3:15
best Rhythm um and again adjust your
3:17
goals as needed as life changes as you
3:20
know everything in life goes on and
3:22
changes uh and adjusts you can adjust
