110. Learning to Pivot and Embrace Change on Your Fitness Journey

I’ve been noticing a common theme when working with my clients lately - it’s also something that I’ve experienced myself, and have come to realize I’m really good at doing. The ability to be able to pivot, and really embrace more flexibility on my fitness journey in a way that feels authentic to me has helped me SO much - it’s kind of my specialty. I’ve been at this for over 15 years now, so you could say I’ve had to pivot a time (or two) along the way! I’m currently in an extremely busy and chaotic season in my own life. While a lot of these are new things I’m navigating and am figuring out as I go, I’m also NOT letting it keep me from prioritizing my fitness and nutrition. Taking time to plan your fitness and nutrition around all of your day to day ‘stuff’ is key. We’re ALL busy, and while I think this often can be an excuse, I also know you can’t juggle ALL.THE.THINGS in every season of life you’re in. Sticking to a program that is too rigid with little wiggle room will lead you to feeling like you’re a failure when you miss a workout, or eat foods that you ‘aren’t supposed to’. I can’t stress this enough - the ability to pivot well in your fitness journey is super important. In order to NOT quit, you have to learn how to pivot, adjust when necessary, and embrace change - I truly believe this should be a welcomed part of your journey!
