Summary
Making faster progress isn’t about stricter diets and more discipline, it’s about taking consistent action steps that move you closer to your goal.
The problem is we get tired, bored, lose motivation or give up, or (insert excuse here) and progress stalls or goes out the window.
This isn’t a flaw with YOU, it’s a human character trait that keeps us alive, we’re kinda designed to choose the path of least resistance to conserve energy and constantly innovate… BUT that’s not super helpful when we need to say no to oreos and YES to broccoli. 😭🥦
The good news is instead of working against it, we can hack motivation by using tools like the next tiny step method to KEEP moving forward, even in our worst moments.
In this episode I share exactly how to use the method to find your next tiny step, commit to when you’ll implement it, and use momentum to make your next actions easier and more likely. Yah!!
This method was developed by Richard Ralston who is a mentor, friend, and amazing human, so check out more about him below 👇
A lot of these concepts were also inspired by James Clear and Greg Mckeown and you can find the links to their books below👇
Essentialism - Greg Mckeown

Atomic Habits - James Clear

We use this method in our Progress PODS in Lean with Plants and it’s helped our members see phenomenal results. If you’re not making the progress you want to on your weight loss journey, why not join our fam, and start taking leaps and bounds with the tools to make it easier and a community to support you a long the way.

| 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 |
| 0:48.0 | that lead to getting and staying lean. |
| 0:51.3 | Can't wait to get started. |
| 0:53.1 | Let's do this. |
| 1:05.0 | Thank you. lean. Can't wait to get started. Let's do this. Hello and welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. I'm so excited to start creating regular episodes again. I've been on a little |
| 1:14.8 | hiatus and if you're a regular listener, you probably know that we've been traveling in the |
| 1:20.9 | States for the past three months and we just got back to New Zealand. And as much as I'm trying to fight that feeling of guilt that I haven't |
| 1:30.0 | been creating episodes recently, there is a bit of that there. Honestly, though, I think I needed |
| 1:36.0 | a bit of a break. I'm feeling a lot more inspired. I learned so much on this trip that I want |
| 1:42.2 | to share with you that I think is going to help you |
| 1:44.9 | in your weight loss journey and developing habits that lead to consistent results, which is |
| 1:51.1 | really what this podcast is all about making habits that stick, making those habits easy so |
| 1:57.5 | that we can actually develop consistent patterns and routines of behavior that lead |
| 2:02.6 | to results because if you've been here for a while, you know, you know, results are always |
| 2:09.1 | a latent measure of our habits and our consistent behaviors. So what I want to talk to you |
| 2:15.9 | about today is how to stop giving up on your diet. |
| 2:21.3 | And you can apply this to anything, as it's not just diet related. |
| 2:25.5 | And instead of giving up all the time, starting again on Monday, make consistent progress |
