Creating A Plan For Life For Fitness Success | Coaching Message of the Month
Fall is a time when many of us feel the urge to get back into a routine, set new goals, and get serious after the relaxed pace of summer. It’s like the world is nudging us to turn the page and refocus. And today, I want to talk to you about creating a plan for life—a roadmap that takes your fitness journey from something that has a start and end point, to a lifelong journey full of growth, reflection, and resilience.
Now, let’s get real for a second.
How many times have you set a goal, achieved it—or maybe not—and then just kind of lost your way? It happens to all of us. We think in terms of end goals, whether it’s losing twenty pounds, hitting a new PR, or fitting into that dress. And while those milestones are great, they can sometimes trick us into seeing our fitness journey as something with a start and finish.
But the truth is, the journey doesn’t really end; it just evolves. And that evolution requires a plan that goes beyond just your training schedule and diet. Yes, those are essential tools that help you get results, but they’re only part of the bigger picture.
What I want for you is to have a holistic approach to your fitness journey—one that nourishes not just your body, but your mind and spirit as well. A plan that keeps you inspired, motivated, and pushing forward every single day, no matter what life throws your way.
And here’s the key: it all starts with creating your own “Plan for Life.” This isn’t just about knowing when to work out or what to eat—it’s about designing a daily routine that supports your overall well-being and growth as a person.
Here’s how we’re going to break it down…

A New Approach to Willpower Rooted In A Higher Calling
What is willpower to you when it comes to your fitness journey? Discover how to harness the true power of willpower in your fitness journey. It’s not about resisting temptations or grueling workouts – it’s about making positive choices, finding balance, and celebrating small wins.
So I want you to take this idea of willpower and flip it on its head. That willpower is the discipline that you give yourself, the permission that you give yourself to make the choice to live better. To say no to the things that don’t serve you positively. To know that when you’re trying to establish this body as a temple for the goodness within you and your body as a pillar of strength physically, emotionally, mentally, and more, that it takes making decisions to do away with the things that do not serve you.
