The journey to the destination is never easy. It’s what we do in those moments of discomfort that define whether we will make it there or not. Progress is not fixed in a linear fashion. Your mindset shouldn’t be fixed either.

Are you in the mindset to do what it takes to reach your goals? Are you also in mindset to adapt with the setbacks, forgive yourself, take the space you need and get back on track? A growth mindset is one that is willing to put in the work but also willing to learn from the setbacks.

The second element to your program is mindset. We know this may sound cheesy to some of you, but bear with us. Your mindset is a pivotal piece in achieving your goals. Have you ever reflected back to something impressive or challenging you’ve done in the past and wondered how the hell you did it? Imagining doing that again seems impossible.

We like to think about this as a misalignment with mindset and task at hand. This is very common when it comes to health and wellness. You want to get lean, but you don’t want to change any of your eating habits. You want to get muscular, but you don’t want to train or challenge yourself in the gym. You want your injury to heal, but you don’t want to do any of the rehabilitation it will take to heal it. We all know this game.

The key to mindset is once again (not to sound like a broken record) is honesty. You need to be honest with yourself when it comes to your mindset. Perhaps this is an awful time for you to go all in on your training and make big changes to your nutrition. Perhaps all you can fit into your current schedule is two or three workouts per week and preparing only one meal at home per day. There’s nothing wrong with that. At least now we know what we have to work with. Example: we need to make those 2-3 training sessions as efficient as possible when it comes to your specific goals, we need to focus on nailing down that one prepared meal per day and we need to discuss strategies you can implement to improve your eating habits when on the go. Is it a good idea to commit to a meal plan and a five time a week training program? Hell no. We will meet you exactly where you’re at. 

We only ask one thing. 

Meet yourself where you’re at, too. That way you’re set up for success and your mindset is aligned with the effort you are ready, willing and able to put in.
