Hey there. When it comes to working toward your goals, pacing yourself is key…you’re going to need time to recover, reflect, and recharge.

You’ve probably heard the “no days off” mantra or seen people proudly proclaiming that they show up for themselves every single day. But let me tell you, showing up doesn’t always mean doing the work. Sometimes showing up for yourself means giving yourself the break you need.

This journey is a long game. Whether it’s health, fitness, or personal growth, building a foundation takes time. Once you trust yourself to follow through, you don’t need to push hard every day to see results. It’s about finding a balance that works for your life.

Consistency isn’t about perfection. You don’t have to hit every single day to be successful. For example, doing something 250 days out of the year is incredibly consistent—and sustainable over time. This approach beats the burnout that often comes with all-in, short-term challenges.

You’ll need to pace yourself both mentally and physically. If you’re just checking boxes every day without stepping back to reflect, you’re missing an opportunity to evaluate what’s working and what’s not. Build a foundation that fits your preferences, your life, and your long-term goals.

So take the breaks when you need them. Adjust your pace as life changes. And if you think there’s more to life than just checking boxes, make sure your approach to your goals reflects that.
