My life get’s really darn hard. There are so many days I don’t feel like I can cope and yet somehow I’ve maintained 40lbs of weight loss, while running a business, being a busy mama and having a husband with a disability.10 years ago I did NOT have the toolkit to make that happen and it’s been trial and error and many books on behavioural science later that I have a toolkit of 6 habits/mindsets that keep me going on my worst days.They are: I know that 100% effort isn’t required to see results, but SOME consistent effort is always needed. Consistent minimal effort beats intensity EVERY time. You don’t need to sprint, but you do need to put 1 foot in front of the other. Ask yourself what that looks like everyday. It changes. I don’t pendulum swing. Your circumstances aren’t binary, behaviour doesn’t need to be either. I’m looking for the best I can do even on my worst days I set minimum targets rather than big goals. I have a level of external support and accountability even when I’m feeling like I can’t do things. I make my life easier so I’m more likely to follow through on good behaviour.Simple tools but they truly work.If you’re needing more personal help and accountability to lose fat, jump on a free strategy call with our team to see how we can help you get lean 📆📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals ⁠https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6⁠⁠📚 Join my FREE Kickstarter Challenge👇⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about⁠🤙 Find me on:My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.comInstagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMaeSubscribe and see you next week.

At the beginning of the year, I said my goal for this year was to be mediocre, however even though I believe there are times when mediocrity can be helpful, it can also be a hinderance.Success requires effort and perseverance, for there is no gain without pain. Hard work serves as the key that unlocks the door to triumph. The things truly worth having in life are not obtained effortlessly; they demand dedication and resilience.  Weight loss is one of those things, it doesn't come easy, it takes time, dedication and consistency to see great results. Success is not a mere gift bestowed upon us; it is earned through relentless commitment and determination.The more we invest in our endeavors, the more satisfying the victory becomes. The journey towards success is marked by a path paved with hard work, guiding us towards our aspirations.It's important to remember that if success were easily attainable, everyone would have it. Yet, it is the challenges we face and overcome that make it truly meaningful. 📚 Join my FREE Kickstarter Challenge👇⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.chelseamae.com/kickstarter-about⁠📆 Get a FREE 1:1 Weight Loss Consult to see how we can help you smash those goals ⁠https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6⁠⁠🤙 Find me on:My Website ➔ https://www.chelseamae.comInstagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/chelseamaecullen/Youtube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/ChelseaMaeSubscribe and see you next week.

Take a leap, embrace the unknown, and ask yourself, "What's the worst that could happen if I don't try a new approach to weight loss?What have I got to lose by going all in?Inaction and fear means there's a real cost to our overall health and mindset. This week I dive into Callie's story, which is what inspired me to do this episode. It's important to remember the immediate benefits of consistent action, even without immediate results. Failure often stems from a lack of action, so remove barriers, confront obstacles, take risks, and do the thing anyway.Shift your focus from outcomes to the process of growth, let go of results, practice persistence, and understand that overnight success follows years of perceived failure. Measure progress, explore multiple indicators of success, and seek motivation through repetition, accountability, making action easier, rewarding progress, and fostering a community that normalizes the behaviors you want to cultivate.Shift your focus from outcomes to the process of growth. Release your attachment to results. Reflect on the person you could become by consistently doing 'the thing', even without immediate results. Will you be better off than before? It's all about practice and staying in the game.🌟 Remember, overnight success often follows years of perceived failure. Measure your progress, choose growth. Keep track of your achievements. Look beyond a single measure of success. Find ways to stay motivated.Discover the processes that drive consistent action Embrace repetition and routine, establishing structured habits within your daily life. Seek accountability to stay on track and ensure follow-through on your commitments. Make action feel effortless by simplifying tasks and finding ways to streamline your efforts.
