Happy Monday, !

Can we all agree that perfection is exhausting? 🙃

Well, one of the biggest myths out there is that you have to get everything right to make progress. 

You know how it goes…

If you miss one workout or splurge a little too much, you feel like you’ve blown it, so you give up entirely. Sound familiar? 

But here’s the truth: True success isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being consistent, even when things aren’t ideal.

You have two choices. You can:

• Crush one “perfect” week of workouts and meal prep, then burn out and do nothing for the next three.
• OR show up at 80% (or more!) every week for months, even when life throws you curveballs.

Which one do you think gets better results? 

Spoiler: It’s the second one.

Here are two POWERFUL strategies to rewire your mindset for consistency:

1. Celebrate “Non-Zero” Days.

This concept comes from the idea that any effort is better than none. Walk for 10 minutes? Do a few push-ups? Add a side of veggies to your dinner? It’s a win. The goal is to avoid having a day where you do nothing for your goals.

• Some of my clients have a ‘Non-Zero Jar’ where they put in a quarter every day they do something for their health—no matter how small.

2. Use the 2-Minute Rule.

On days when motivation is low, tell yourself you only need to do two minutes. Just two! That’s usually enough to get you started and of course, you’ll likely want to keep going! But even if you do stop, you’ve still kept the habit alive. (Plus it’ll count as a non-zero day 😉)

• One of my clients uses this trick with meal prep. She tells herself she’ll just chop veggies for two minutes. Most of the time, she ends up prepping everything she planned for.

Perfection gets you stuck. Consistency keeps you moving forward. 

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about showing up, over and over again.

Here’s to progress, not perfection,
