I'm all in: working out every day + mobility + meditation + perfect eating + sleep on time, every time + all the right supplements (not that I need them, because my food is perfect). I am intense. If I'm not sprinting, I'm not even moving.
OR
NOTHING
I'm out: Eating cake for breakfast because my toddler thinks it's a good idea, calling it a workout when I take the 10 min stroll to let the dog out, who cares when I get to bed because I don't have a schedule, taking ibuprofen as a supplement because my body is inflamed because I eat all sorts of madness after I start every day with cake.
Although my mind goes to these extremes in thinking, neither of these is my reality every day.
The truth is, I try to move everyday. Sometimes it's a workout, sometimes it's mobility only.
I try to make the best decisions about food that I can with the resources I have at the time.
If I eat cake for breakfast, it is definitely only after I have eaten some quality protein and vegetables.
I try to get to bed around 10, but that depends on a lot of variables.
I am human. I am flawed. I am enough, right now. I am constantly trying to see how I can get just a little bit better.
It has taken a lot of work for me to ease away from the All or Nothing mindset, and into the A Little Bit Better mindset. Through that work, I lost 22 lbs and got a lot happier. Every time I lean toward All or Nothing, it gets easier to bring myself back to A Little Bit Better.
If you are stuck in All or Nothing, but know from experience that it doesn't work that well for consistency or long term results, there is another way.
