Episode 3409:

Rachel Trotta challenges the notion of perfectionism in health and fitness, emphasizing that striving for perfection often leads to self-sabotage and burnout. Instead, she highlights the importance of being "good enough" most of the time, focusing on consistency, preparation, and realistic goal-setting to achieve sustainable progress. By practicing self-compassion, you can create a positive, upward spiral of long-term success.

Quotes to ponder:

“It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about being 100% adherent to a diet or exercise plan.”

“Consistency is essential because you are better off making a B+ in your health and fitness goals every day than you are making two A+’s and five F’s each week.”

“The goal is to get out of the ‘beat-yourself-up’ and ‘buckle-down’ downward spiral, and into a successful, achieving upward cycle.”
