Episode Description

You know what to do for your health. You’ve known for years. But knowing hasn’t made it stick - and starting over is getting exhausting.

This episode picks up where my conversation with Dr. Amy Beheimer left off and slows things down enough to look at what actually stops health habits from sticking. Not willpower. Not discipline. The thoughts and feelings that show up before you ever take action.

This is a guided journaling episode designed to help you understand why certain health goals keep falling apart - and what needs to shift so you can follow through in a way that actually fits your life.

We go beyond “I should be doing this” and into the beliefs, expectations, and quiet pressure that keep pulling you back into the same cycle.

Journal through these prompts:

  1. What health habit do you know you “should” be doing, but keep not doing because it feels too small to matter?
  2. When you think about doing that habit, what do you tell yourself that stops you? Not the logical reason - the automatic thought that shows up.
  3. If you’re brutally honest, do you actually want this health goal? Or do you think you should want it because everyone else does? If you don’t want it, what would feel good to your body instead?
  4. What would need to change about this habit for you to genuinely want to do it? Not force yourself. Not white-knuckle it. Actually want it.

Dr. Amy says habits aren’t just what we do or don’t do - they’re the thoughts and feelings that come first.
