Are You Doing Too Much?

A young Black woman writing.

We’re already a couple of weeks into the year…


How are those resolutions holding up?


If you… 

  • Want to start building an exercise routine

  • Are already falling out of the “honeymoon phase” with all the goals you set a few weeks ago

  • But you want this year to be different than last year (and all the years before it)...


Let’s talk about doing LESS. 


Yes, less!


Research shows that overloading ourselves with tasks and decisions makes it much harder to stick to new habits. 


It’s called “decision fatigue,” and it can be a REAL struggle.


So, how do you combat it?


By simplifying your approach. 


Instead of focusing on everything you think you need to do to reach your goal, ask yourself: What unnecessary steps can I ELIMINATE?


It can be as simple as:

  • Focusing on just one key daily habit that matters most. Keep it simple and impactful.

  • Saying “no” to extra steps. For instance, instead of cooking every single night, try meal prepping for a few days at once.

  • Aiming for small but consistent actions. A daily five-minute HIIT workout beats an hour-long session that only happens once a week.


Whatever you can do to lessen the resistance! 


Remember: Doing less doesn’t mean caring less. It means being strategic and focusing your energy on the actions that truly move the needle.


So, if you’re already seeing signs of slipping on your New Year goals, maybe it’s time to try doing a little LESS.


If you need help with this, hit reply and run your ideas by me… 


You might be surprised how simple building an exercise routine can be!
