Sometimes habits don’t fall apart because you lack discipline. They fall apart because you only defined them at their best.

In this short reframe episode, you’ll learn a shift in how to think about habit consistency, especially if your schedule is unpredictable or your energy fluctuates from week to week.

Instead of focusing on the ideal workout or the perfectly prepped meals, this episode turns toward a quieter question:

What counts on your lowest-capacity days?

If you’ve ever felt like you “fell off” after missing a few workouts, or like one chaotic week erased your momentum, this conversation normalizes that experience. It explores why strict rules often break, how flexible ranges bend, and how defining a minimum viable action (MVA) can protect long-term habit formation.

You’ll hear:

🔸 A practical reframe that supports consistency without lowering your standards

🔸 A simple way to approach habit-building when your time and energy are limited

🔸 Why identity-based habits matter more than intensity

🔸 How a small action can preserve momentum during busy or overwhelming weeks

🔸 A helpful metaphor for understanding why restarting is harder than continuing

This episode is not about doing more. It's about staying in motion.

It gently reframes what “showing up” means so that healthy habits can survive real life, not just ideal circumstances.

If you’re navigating midlife health goals, balancing work and family, or trying to stay consistent with exercise, meal prep, or strength training, this conversation offers a steady reminder that repetition builds identity, and momentum builds confidence.
