Why Action Creates Motivation

Have you ever been trapped under a blanket on the couch and thought, “I do not have the energy to stand up”?  Then you do stand up and get moving you have more energy than it seemed?  

It is exactly the same with changing a behavior.  You have something you know you need to change.  It is not making you happy.  In fact, it bothers you enough that you think about it more than you would like to.  You know you should change, but there are some problems.

  1. You do not know what to do in order to change.
  2. You are a little scarred of trying to change.  What if it doesn’t work?  What if changing makes me more miserable than I already am?
  3. You aren’t sure you have the time, energy, resources to change.

Here is what you should do:

Change something.

Even if it is not the right thing.  

By trying, even if you fail, you will have learned something.  You will have gained the knowledge that you have the ability to try.  Even if it doesn’t work, you are off the couch (metaphorically), and now you have the momentum needed to try something else. 

Keep doing this, and you will try your way to the change you were hoping to make!

Want to be more efficient making a change?  Find a professional who you trust to help you decide what steps to take.  The pro can’t make the change for you, so only start when you are ready to take her suggestions and put them to the test.  

No matter what, you will create a great feeling of progress and self-care that will motivate you to keep moving forward.  

You will also feel a sense of accountability to your coach, knowing that at the end of the week she will be wondering how you did. 

With or without coaching, the most important message is that if you want to create change in your life, you have to be ready to change habits.  If you are feeling paralyzed, any form of stepping forward will start momentum you can build from.

If you are Perimenopausal or menopausal and feel like you are constantly struggling with inflammation, bloating, exhaustion, constipation, and sudden weight gain.  It is likely you suspect it is due to what you are eating, but don’t know what or how to change.  You need the Powerup and Reset Program.

In perimenopause and menopause our hormones are totally different, so our approach needs to be different too.

Best news is, the approach we need does NOT include:

  • Punishing amounts of exercise
  • Starvation
  • Unrealistic goals that take you way out of your comfort zone.
  • Fasting
  • Keto

It DOES include:

  • Feeding ourselves the BEST foods on a regular basis to assure out body it is fed and cared for.
  • Editing our exercise to make it efficient and effective so we don’t waste time spinning our wheels.
  • Learning to apply easy and strategic self-care to help our hormones settle down.

Have you tried and failed to change your health in the past?  Consider this:

  1. Now is the time to take your health seriously.  What we do RIGHT NOW decides if we will spend our golden years sick and broken or thriving and enjoying life.  

2.  Just about EVERYTHING you read or see in Health Media is NOT designed for women in Perimenopause or menopause.  Our hormones are DIFFERENT than men and younger women.  Things that work for other people are likely to make things WORSE for you right now.  

3.  We cannot afford to waste time with-fast fix weight loss schemes that will likely cost us precious bone and muscle, cause us to gain belly fat, and can even cause us to become more at risk for heart attack and stroke.
