Stop Waiting to Feel Like It

Hey Wellness Fam,

Here’s a truth that might surprise you:
Your feelings aren't always on your side.

So many of us wait for motivation to magically show up before we take action—whether it’s a workout, meal prep, getting to bed early, or making time for self-care. But the truth is:

> Motivation usually shows up after we start doing the thing—not before
If you let your feelings drive the bus, you’ll often find yourself procrastinating, making excuses, or giving up before you even begin.

Why does this happen?
Feelings crave comfort. Your brain is wired to avoid discomfort—even when discomfort leads to growth.

You’re conditioned to seek quick wins. If a reward doesn’t come fast, your brain says “why bother?”

Fear of failure or not doing it perfectly can make inaction feel safer.
You’re overwhelmed. When the full picture seems like too much, your brain says let’s not even start.

Old habits die hard. Your mind is used to certain patterns—and breaking them means effort.

Here’s the shift:
Instead of asking, "Do I feel like doing this?"
Ask, "What would my future self thank me for?"

Then do it.

Just start. Even 5 minutes can lead to 30. A walk can turn into a workout. A healthy choice can lead to a great day.

This week, I challenge you to act first. Let the motivation catch up to you.
You don’t need to feel like it—you just need to begin.

You've got this 💪

Give Yourself Permission to Evolve

Happy Monday Wellness Fam,

Let’s have an honest moment.

Are you still holding yourself to the same standards, routines, or goals that made sense 10 or 20 years ago?

So many of us fall into this trap—expecting our bodies, minds, and energy to function the same way they did in our 20s or 30s… all while juggling an entirely different life in our 40s, 50s, or 60s.

Life changes—and so should your approach.

🌱 In your 20s, maybe you had flexible work hours, fewer responsibilities, and more time to hit the gym or prep meals.

👩‍👧 In your 30s, perhaps you were raising babies, building careers, or just starting to feel the push-and-pull of real-world stress.

💼 In your 40s and 50s, your hormones shift, sleep patterns change, and energy requires more intentional support. You may be managing teens, aging parents, or both.

🧘 In your 60s, your pace and priorities might shift again, calling for gentler movement, more recovery, and deeper reflection.

And yet, we often still chase old goals with old methods, forgetting that we've changed.

Here's the truth: When your lifestyle evolves, your expectations must evolve with it. Otherwise, you’re setting yourself up for frustration, burnout, or feeling like you’ve somehow failed—when really, you just didn’t adapt the plan.
So today, I invite you to ask yourself:

Am I expecting results from a version of myself that no longer exists?
Am I being fair to the life I live right now?
Have I made space for grace, or am I still clinging to outdated routines?

If you’re nodding along, it might be time to rewrite the rules—not lower your standards, but realign them.

Your journey now is not about going backward. It’s about honoring your present season and designing goals that reflect who you are today.

Ready to redefine what success looks like—for this chapter?

When you aren't feeling good and can't keep much down or don't have quite an appetite, I LOVE using Protein2o as my go to protein replacement.

Not only does it contain electrolytes, but the 20g of protein ensures I don't lose any muscle mass due to lack of food intake.

I know some of my clients also have an issue with being able to get their snack in while on the job, this can be a great alternative!

After being sick for the last few days, I'm happy to have something I can turn to and trust.

Happy Thursday! I understand that navigating the week can be challenging, as the days often feel like they blend together and time seems scarce. Today, I am here to encourage you to prioritize scheduling personal time, as this will help reduce the risk of burnout towards the mid to end of the week.

When was the last time you truly disconnected?

This past weekend, I had a chance to step away from the usual hustle and spend some time at the Boardwalk Rock Music Festival—and let me tell you, it was exactly what my soul needed.

Here’s the wild part:
My Fitbit stopped working, and I barely touched my phone (just 3 pictures the entire weekend—one of them had to be Def Leppard, who I absolutely love!).

Instead of living the moment through the lens of my camera,

I decided to fully immerse myself in the experience—no filters, no metrics, just real connection. I danced, I laughed, and I felt the powerful energy of thousands of people gathered for the same reason: to enjoy music, be present, and feel alive.

Letting go of the constant digital connection gave me something I didn’t know I was craving—a mental reboot. I came back feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply motivated.

This week, I challenge you to try a little detachment of your own. Maybe it’s an hour without your phone, a walk without tracking your steps, or a meal without snapping a photo. Create space to truly be in the moment—you might be surprised what you feel when you're fully there.

With presence and purpose,

Coach Alison 🩷
