“What if I fail again?”

In case you missed my email from a few weeks ago, Steve asked me to write an even focused fitness and a nutrition content for rebellion.

And since I received a ton of e-mail from people who circulate about the same thing: lack of belief that I can actually Make changes to this time! I bet you can connect:

“The biggest challenge – a loss of trust in the process and me.”

“Having trouble believing it will be consistently, it will actually help you and scare that no matter what I will fail.”

“I’m scared to fail, I’m trying to fail, but everything seems so scary. I know all the words for” real “, but I can’t find the will / energy / desire to go and something after work.”

These fears are very, very normal. (Although it doesn’t make them less to deal with!)

So what do we do when we feel stuck and are scared of how overwhelming This is feeling?

💡 The most important thing

While every story is different, there is one thing I noticed that you really help you have a bigger chance for success:

Construction swing early – And then protects that momentum.

Early victories make the rest of the trip easier.

And safe, the wound victory can look like you see how to move the scale or get stronger in the gym.

But these things are the results coming for weeks or even for months Later, after you consistently do the “thing”. This is not useful at the time we feel uncertain and overwhelmed.

That is why I like to start tracking and celebrating efforts.

Choosing 1-2 repeatable actions you can exercise every day:

Every action is victory, which is a small sign of progress.

And if we can recognize and celebrate every action, it starts building evidence that “I am the type of person who can do it, even when it is difficult.”

And a little hope?

It can be enough to continue going through heavy parts.

👨🔬 Example in real life

For example, let’s take my client Ben. He was in this same ship when we started working together.

• Super busy schedule of work work with hourly trip every time
• 4 young children at home
• Had recent health that made him realize that time was to change
• Not sure where to start and I’m really scared that it will be another attempt to try and failed

So we talked openly about all these things – Real restrictions in his time and energy, fear that it would not succeed and his hopes in the future where he felt better and fitness did not feel so hard to stick.

And then we chose a few things we thought could be a good place to start.

✅ 10-minute walk during lunch break

✅ List of orders in restaurants in restaurants around his work – so would always have a good option even in the fingers

✅ Push-ups with countertop every time he ripped his teeth.

And while these actions can look Mali, they had an impact. They allowed us to build consistency and we practice overriding obstacles first, and then we could take care of optimization for outcomes later.

And there happens a real magic – not only in physical change, but in thinking:

“I am the kind of person that appears.”

“I can believe I’ll follow.”

“I know how to go back to the path when life happens.”

Ask ​any of our most successful clients​And they will say that the biggest change was not only in their body.

Their biggest change was actually in how they thought About fitness, habits and for whom they believed they could become.

When we start trying to optimize, making all the “perfect” right from movement, it can feel like we are drowning and we cannot continue to be in progress.

It just boosts the belief that we are not able to make any changes. If only we were one of the people who “these things don’t work.”

That’s the correct trap we’re trying to avoid!

Of course, each is the starting point of all different. You may be able to jump right in multiple days a week of routine exercises, or more aggressive eating changes.

The point cannot be forced to download less than you are able – to make sure you can balance “challenging” with “with it” so you can build a belief in yourself and the process.

Fast forward two years, and Ben’s routine looks much different from where we started.

• Now works strength training 4k / week morning before work
• It goes through periods in which it follows its calories and macrons and others in which we transfer more relaxed access to a general focus on getting a lot of protein, fruits and vegetables every day
• He presented a dream and gets over 8,000 steps every day

While Ben became stronger, he lost over 30 pounds and saw to improve his blood markers – everything started with the most important thing: building momentum.

🎬 Where should I start?

So where does that leave you today? Here’s how I could approach it.

✅ Admit actual challenges and restrictions on your time and energy.

This is not the approach of “Rah-Rah” to ignore all the difficult things. Identify it’s ok and normally to feel like this. (Steve actually just wrote about it ​Concept “Notice and Name”​ Here.)

✅ Start with practice – not perfection.

Focus on repeated action (such as a short-strength session or protein on two meals), not just the result you want. Think of that practice. You won’t be perfect. Make mistakes. And that’s all that.

✅ Create visual evidence of your effort.

In our training program, customers check tasks each day and we can see visible progress of their effort.

If you do not have a coach, we love to use something we call Jar Great:

Drop marble (or paper or coin) in a jar every time you do something in line with your goals.

It’s a way for it see Your consistency and progress, and before the mirror or scale reflects that.

✅ Celebrate small victories.

You walked today?

Is it nammit?

He skipped a spiral spiral or nothing after a rough day?

It is a victory that is worth admitting. Process leadership to the result.

---

If you feel stuck now, or even hopeless, let’s see if we can switch the script.

We’ll start a little. We will celebrate effort.

And we build that momentum together.

You have this.

And if you want to help choose the first “quick win”, just shoot me a message and I will help you find it.
