Hello and welcome to the ESG Fitness Podcast. This episode is going to be all about how your habit

tracker might be setting you up for failure and a better solution for you. And this will be very

actionable things that you can actually do and hopefully help you point out where you've been

falling for kind of like all or nothing tendencies which are holding you back

from achieving your goals. So I, as well as the vast majority of the fitness industry, or at least

the good ones, talk a lot about consistency and habits. And I personally talk a hell of a lot about

imperfect action.

Imperfect action is kind of my thing, definitely how I live my life and it's often like the

clicking point for a lot of clients. And imperfect action is very closely linked to consistency

when you understand it and especially when you incorporate

range targets, which is another big coaching pillar of mine. And the amount of feedback I get

from clients that say that those two concepts alone change their whole approach to dieting. And

sometimes I feel quite cringe about saying this, but, or like, bold statement,

but the amount of feedback we get that is like, this changed my life. And I applied it to all

areas of my life and it changed my life considerably just applying these principles. I work

with a lot of women who have tried hundreds of diets before and have yo-yoed up and down for years.

And this for them is the clicking point and the key to long-term sustainable fat loss.

Now, back to my point. Consistency isn't about trying to be perfect. And a lot of people get this

wrong. Trying to be perfect looks like

hitting your targets for 12 days in a row and getting a nice little streak and then giving up as soon as you

miss a day. Now in perfect action looks like doing your best every day and accepting that some days

that might look pretty perfect and other days it won't, right?
