Realignment > Burnout

We’ve pasted half-way mark in the year and if we’re being honest… Its been a lot. Mid- year fatigue has settled in.
Your January goals have collected dust, the discipline you had in March is a distant memory and your energy level? Is practically on “low battery”

But Guess what?

Mid-year fatigue DOES NOT mean failure

It just means you’ve been trying. Means you’re human. Means its time for realignment rather than retreat.

Causes of Mid-Year Burnout

There’s no need to pretend burnout only happens end-of-year.
In fact, the August dip is more common than you think.

Most people experience that dip for the following reasons:

  • You’ve been pushing since January
  • The pressure to “have it all together” builds in the background
  • The cold season is no help (comfort eating and gym skipping)
  • Motivation Dips, (especially when results and expectations don’t match)

And then, of course, comes GUILT, SHAME AVOIDANCE.
But with Gr8r Than Fitness that stops NOW!

Bounce Back with Grace

No, not Grace the person! Grace the noun!
Having a better relationship with your progress will allow you to realign and continue on your fitness journey without the negative baggage.

Here’s how:

  1. Reset the Vision
    • Ask yourself: “What do I really want for the next 4 months?”
    • BREAK IT DOWN
      • Weekly short-term goals will fuel that long-term discipline
  2. Audit the Habits
  3. Move Differently
    • Switch up your routine!
      • New workout style? TRY IT!
      • Less pressure? DO IT!
      • Walkie-walkie instead of lifty-lifty? STILL VALID!
  4. Talk About it
    • The mental, physical and emotional slump post mid-year is real.
      • Talk to a friend, coach or therapist
      • Accountability doesn’t mean pressure it means support.
  5. Celebrate Survival

Your comeback is already in motion

With Gr8r Than Fitness, we know this isn’t about starting over.
It’s about starting again, with more wisdom, grace and FIRE!!!

So take a breath. Re-align. Re-commit.

You’re not behind. You’re recharging.
