Summary
In this episode I share 4 key ways I keep going when my goals feel so far away! I talk a lot about not being perfect and why it's important to fail faster but this week I want to get a little more personal. The crux of it is; We don’t want to put our lives on hold until we reach a certain goal, because life is happening NOW, and the future is never a given. It's so important to focus on the present and put values, before beauty.
I'll be talking about why this matters so much to me and how I create meaning in today.
You can work towards being an improved version of yourself, but ultimately to keep yourself going it boils down to having contentment, joy and appreciation for today.
We have to start living and be grateful for today before it’s too late.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. My name is Chelsea and if you are struggling to lose weight on a plant-based diet, then this podcast is for you. While there are thousands of books, podcasts and resources about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the reality is that being vegan does not |
| 0:22.0 | guarantee losing weight. If you are feeling frustrated and confused about where to start, |
| 0:28.7 | or you know exactly what you should be doing, but you just can't seem to rustle up enough |
| 0:34.1 | willpower to do it, then keep listening. In this podcast, you'll learn the truth about plant-based weight loss, but just as importantly, |
| 0:42.1 | how to use proven methods of behavioural change to turn what you know into lifelong habits that |
| 0:48.3 | lead to getting and staying lean. |
| 0:51.3 | Can't wait to get started. |
| 0:53.1 | Let's do this. |
| 1:12.7 | Music lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Hello, welcome to the podcast episode. We're going to be talking about something that is very close to home. It's something that we don't like to admit as a problem, but most of us experience every single day. |
| 1:19.4 | And that is how to deal with this impatience that we have, that we are not at that goal that we |
| 1:25.1 | want to be, that we are not there yet. We do not look the way that we |
| 1:30.4 | want to. Our habits aren't the way that we want them to be. We are struggling to keep going because it |
| 1:37.9 | feels like it's too far until we reach that goal. It's too hard. It's too long. It's too hard. |
| 1:44.0 | We want to give up. |
| 1:45.5 | And then also how, even if we're not giving up, how do we cultivate gratefulness? How do we feel |
| 1:52.0 | okay when we look at those photos and we know that we could be better? We know that we still have |
| 1:57.2 | so far to go. How can we still be appreciative of where we are, but know that we are |
| 2:04.5 | capable of so much more. It's such a tension, but I think that it's such an important conversation |
| 2:10.6 | because if we are not addressing these things, first of all, we are going to give up because these are strong emotions that are |
| 2:19.5 | going to come and say, it's too hard. It's not worth trying. It's too uncomfortable. It's too |
| 2:26.1 | painful to keep going because it's so far the finish line is just not even in sight. There's |
| 2:32.8 | no light at the end of the tunnel. So it's not |
