I got to host a wellness walking tour on campus as part of a Health and Sports summit at Jewett on last week!

If you believe you’re “bad at being consistent,” your brain will look for proof: skipped workouts, missed meals, anything that confirms that story.

That’s confirmation bias in action: we subconsciously seek evidence that supports what we already believe.

But here’s the good news: you can use that same psychology to your advantage.

If you start identifying as someone who takes care of their health, your brain will start noticing every action that aligns with that:
drinking water before coffee, prepping a balanced lunch, choosing rest when you need it, showing up for a short workout even when it’s not perfect.

Those small moments reinforce your new identity. Over time, your choices start to feel natural — not forced.
You don’t need to “fake it till you make it.”
You just need to act like the kind of person you want to become, one decision at a time.

That’s how real change sticks: not through willpower, but through alignment.

If you’ve been trying to stay consistent but feel like you’re stuck in old stories, this is exactly what I help clients work through.

We shift the mindset first and the habits follow.

If you’ve been beating yourself up for not having enough motivation lately, pause for a second.

You’re not lazy, you’re overloaded.

We live in a world that expects us to do everything perfectly and still have energy left to eat clean, exercise, and meditate. We measure our success by comparing ourselves to social media highlight reels of people who have a different 24 hours than we do.

Most people don’t fail because they don’t care, they fail because they’re trying to do too much at once.

Start by doing less, better.

- Pick one area to simplify this week.
- prep one meal ahead of time.
- Automate one decision.

Real behavior change begins with clarity, not more hustle.

Your morning sets the tone for your entire day.

Research shows that people who start their day with structure and intention are more focused, productive, and emotionally regulated throughout the day. It’s not about perfection or waking up at 5am, it’s about creating a foundation that supports your goals.

As a registered dietitian and wellness coach, I see how much your first few habits impact your energy, mindset, and follow-through.

Some of the most powerful morning habits I teach include:
• Stillness or intention setting
• Hydration before caffeine
• Reading instead of doom scrolling
• Gentle movement
• Getting ready with intention

These small actions compound over time. And the best part? Your morning routine doesn’t have to be long. Even 5–10 minutes of intentional structure can completely shift your day.

If you’ve been wanting to feel more grounded, productive, and consistent with your habits — this is exactly what I help my clients build.

They key to building new habits and getting rid of bad habits is leveraging “friction”

You need to figure out how to remove the friction of building new, good habits and how to add friction to your existing habits.

For example: you want to start snacking on fruit instead of chips, start by keeping washed, cut, ready to eat fruit at eye level in your refrigerator and chips in the back of the bottom shelf in your pantry. You’re eliminate the friction of having to open a drawer, wash, and cut the fruit and adding friction by having to squat down and fish out your chips from the back of the pantry.

Maybe you want to stop hitting snooze and get a walk in before work. Start by putting your phone across the room on top of your workout clothes. You’re adding friction to snoozing your alarm by making it so you have to get up and out of bed to turn off the alarm, and you’re eliminating the friction of having to find your workout clothes and walking shoes in the morning

Let me help you leverage friction to your advantage. Click the link in my bio to apply for coaching.

Do you look at the number on the scale as objective data or as subjective information that affects your mood/self worth?
Let me tell you why you should focus on the number on the scale objectively (aside from the obvious)
Weight and progress are not linear, your body is a lot more complex than that and weight shifts are inevitable at any phase (weight loss, maintenance, or gaining)
If you’re following your macros and still seeing shifts on the scale here’s a list of things you can monitor that may be affecting your weight:
- stress
- sleep
- menstrual cycle
- water intake
- changes in macro intake (water follows carbs so you may see a little bloat with increased carbs)
- fiber intake
- bowel movements/digestion
- bloat
- training volume
Here are some better subjective markers of progress to focus on:
- body image
- how you feel in your clothes
- relationship with food/the gym
- sleep quality
- digestion
- progress pictures
- energy levels
- are your friends and family noticing changes?
- mood

Remember, you won’t hate your body into reaching your goals!
