10 MINDSET RESETS to Stay On Top of Your Fitness Goals

“No Setbacks Are Gonna Set Me Back!”

You’re a Goal Getter.

You have what it takes.

You put in the reps.

You do the work.

In the gym.

In the kitchen.

It’s not some quick fix or diet fad.

You’re healthy.

And your routine is a well-established habit.

A lifestyle.

But then…

You go on vacation.

You eat the most delicious food with friends & family.

Day after day…

You relish all those unctuous umami-filled flavors that titillate your mouth and make you yearn for more, more, more!

Savory or sweet…there’s plenty of room in this tummy of yours.

Meanwhile, you don’t step foot in the gym.

Gone are the weeks of multi-day workouts.

Lifting’s a quickly forgotten memory.

But you haven’t let everything fall by the wayside.

You use the vacation to rest your soul.

You maintain your early Morning Body + Mindset Reset:

You give yourself a healthy dose of

  • Daily Meditation,

  • Bodyweight Exercises, and

  • Deep Cleansing Breaths.

And you double-down on your

  • Daily Gratitude and

  • Positive Self-Talk practice.

Then, the vacation’s over.

You feel that subtle twinge of fear slowly starting to creep in.

What’s this?

You feel (felt?) happy.

Renewed, after that much needed vacation, right?

You know why that pesky fear is here:

It’s that scale staring — no, glaring — back at you.

Part of you doesn’t want to step on it, to see the “damage that you’ve done.” (At least, that’s how your Inner Critic likes to describe it.)

But — you’re NOT letting the Inner Critic call the shots.

Not anymore.

“Damage” is NOT the word you want to choose.

That’s an unhealthy perspective, one that’s restrictive, one that would never allow your body to indulge, to enjoy the glorious food and wonderful company dining with you.

So you renew that promise you made to yourself, years ago, when you decided to be your own Best Friend instead of your own worst enemy.

You tell yourself,

1 “You deserved to enjoy what you ate!”

2“Food is meant to be savored!”

3 “Your body can bounce back from any break!”

You remember,

4“You got this!”

5 “No matter what you now weigh, you know precisely how to get back on track.”

6 “You have a healthy workout regimen and a healthy eating plan. All you have to do is go back to that.”

7 “It works, and your body remembers that.”

These are the reminders that get your Mindset back on track.

This is the motivation you need to get your Brain to work in your favor, instead of falling into fear.

You tell yourself,

8 “No setbacks are gonna set me back!”

And you step on that scale.

You see you haven’t strayed that far from your pre-vacation Set Point.

It’s not nearly as bad as your Fear-Fueled Brain had tried to convince you it’d be.

Now your Positive Mindset is ready for the Healthy Reset you know you can achieve.

The trick to all progress is the determination to stay on track, to succeed.

Don’t let fear make you avoid the knowledge you gain when you track and measure.

What’s tracked gets done.

Whether it’s related to our fitness, our weight, our health, our work, or our mindset goals.

All that’s left to do now is

9 • “TRUST!”

TRUST in the routines that you’ve tried, that are tested and true.

TRUST in your ability.

Remember how awesome it was to relax & enjoy your vacation.

And

Remember how awesome it will feel to RELAX into your healthy routine.

Yes…

10 • “RELAX INTO ROUTINE!”

The routine, the rep, and the repetition will take you back to the YOU you remember you can be.

Do YOU remember who you can be?

Take control of your thoughts. Give yourself a healthy Body + Mindset Reset.

The Relaxed Routine in me honors & respects the Relaxed Routine in you,
