Description

What might it be costing your health now and in the future when you do nothing? In this week’s Insights, I delve into how doing nothing can be detrimental to your health, fitness, and wellbeing goals. I hope to inspire you to move out of that state of doing nothing and start taking action.

Topics Discussed in this Episode:


Why doing something, no matter how small, makes a big difference


What motivates people to take action


What is “the minimal effective dose” and how to bring it all together to make some change


Why sleep is important


Steps you can take to care for your mental health


What you can do to get more energy



Key Takeaways:


The little changes that you make will snowball into a much bigger effect.


The way that many people are living their lives today is going to be costing their future health.


Sleep has a profound effect on all other aspects of our health.


A lot of people who lack energy are just not moving enough.



Action Steps:


Do something! Whether you’re thinking of making significant lifestyle changes, picking up a fitness routine, hiring a coach to help you out in any aspect of health or wellbeing, just do something. Don’t just sit on the motivation or sit on the money for now.


Look into what you can do to improve the amount and quality of your sleep.


Consider having a news ban.


Look to small things that you can start doing to get more energy.


If you want to change your body composition, look to build more muscle and do things for fat burning.


Support your digestive health by bringing in more prebiotics and probiotics and getting a gut test.


Prioritize your mental health and recovery.



Leanne said:
“The sleep that you’re not getting at the moment, the way that your mental health is suffering, the way perhaps your physical health is suffering could be taking years of your useful life, what we call health span, late down the line.”

“Take action now! Some people could be motivated by the impact that they’re going to see tonight or tomorrow or next week or next month or in the mirror... Others are more motivated by knowing they’re doing the right thing further down the line.”
