Summary
These next few weeks are tricky to navigate, so a good approach might be to focus on simply feeling good.
It's easy to overplay our goals way too early when we should be setting ourselves up to train, so we can train, like we need to train.
Exercise is supposed to give you energy and now is a good time to keep that in mind. Motivation is thin, so don't waste it. There is a lot of pressure on being perfect, so look to the liberation in imperfection. Set yourself up for repeated successes. Train to feel good.
Put yourself in a position to hit the ground running under control when the new year drops.
Thank you for listening to our podcasts. We really appreciate you and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
