111. When "Good Enough" Becomes Self-Sabotage: Raise Your Floor, Keep Your Sanity

Feeling stuck in survival mode—skipping workouts, stress-snacking, sleeping less, and calling it "good enough"? In this fireside chat, we unpack how that bar quietly drops and what to do when "good enough" stops being enough. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, reframe your mindset, and raise your floor with small shifts that actually stick during busy seasons and the holidays. We riff on five everyday arenas where standards slip—and how to course-correct without perfectionism: Food noise vs food joy: enjoy treats on purpose, not by accident The good-enough workout: protect the appointment, adjust the dose Morning light vs winter blues: use light as a free energy reset Stress vs rest at family gatherings: step-out rituals that save your tone Gratitude as a reset: one specific thank-you that changes your day‍ Plus, we show you how to use habit anchors to make consistency automatic and craft a one-line floor statement you can run for the next 7 days.‍ APPLY FOR COACHING: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/1-1-coaching SDE Method app: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/sde-method-app The Fitness League Waiting List https://u3rwk.share.hsforms.com/2rkAwsFntTAeZ__PxwXdr4Q Macros Guide https://www.lvltncoaching.com/free-resources/calculate-your-macros Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching FREE TOOLS to start your health and fitness journey: https://www.lvltncoaching.com/resources/freebies Alessandra's Instagram: http://instagram.com/alessandrascutnik Joelle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joellesamantha?igsh=ZnVhZjFjczN0OTdn Josh's Instagram: http://instagram.com/joshscutnik Chapters: 00:00 The Drift into Survival Mode 03:19 Recognizing the Red Flags 09:06 The All-or-Nothing Mentality 12:59 Finding Balance in a Busy Life 16:06 Morning Routines and Alarm Strategies 18:12 Setting Boundaries: Floors and Ceilings in Life 19:10 Food Awareness: Noise vs. Joy 22:19 Adapting Workouts: Embracing Change 23:41 Light Exposure: Combatting Winter Blues 24:39 Navigating Family Gatherings: Stress vs. Rest 25:33 Gratitude as a Daily Reset 26:32 Habit Anchors: Small Changes, Big Impact 29:58 Self-Audit: Recognizing Good Enough 34:43 Small Upgrades for Big Benefits 37:20 Awareness and Action: The Path to Change
