Episode #347
Ditch all-or-nothing thinking—small actions like a 5–15 minute workout or a simple healthy choice still count.
Use a productive pause: ask a focusing question (e.g., does this serve me/how will my future self feel?) and pair it with a state-changing action and if-then plan.
Move especially on bad days; even brief movement improves mood—schedule workouts and create Plan B routes to stay consistent.
On your bad days, you need to move even more than on your good days.
How will your future self feel?
If it is not in the schedule, it is not going to happen.
