Keeping Intentions: Like Herding Cats, But Possible
We all start with the best of intentions—wake up early, drink more water, meditate like a Zen master. But somewhere between setting those intentions and actually keeping them, life happens. (And by life, we mean Netflix, procrastination, and the gravitational pull of the couch.)
In this episode, we’re diving into why sticking to our intentions feels like wrangling a herd of wild squirrels and what actually works when it comes to making habits stick. No toxic positivity, no “just try harder” nonsense—just real talk, some laughs, and strategies that won’t make you want to roll your eyes.
If you’ve ever made a vision board and then promptly forgotten about it, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about keeping those intentions without losing our minds!
Highlights:
Being intentional with our time
What motivates us?
Setting small goals and setting intentions
The power of the word "investment" instead of "work"
Striving for health, but leaving perfectionism behind
Having grace for ourselves implementing a new habit
An exercise tip that'll take a lot of pressure off your mind
We'll be back next week. Thanks for listening!
