"Like tiny seeds with potent power to push through tough ground and become mighty trees, we hold innate reserves of unimaginable strength. We are resilient." ― Catherine DeVrye

Do you ever struggle to stick to your healthy habits because of low motivation?

Maybe you’ve set a goal to go for a walk every morning or to meal prep for the week, only to wake up and think, “I just don’t feel like it today.”

So you hit snooze or order Uber Eats again, telling yourself that tomorrow will be different.

But week after week, the walk never happens. Those recipes you saved never get cooked.

You know what you need to do, yet you're waiting for a spark of motivation that never arrives.

If so, you're not alone.

Many of us believe that if we only felt more motivated, we’d naturally follow through on our plans.

But here’s the truth:

Women who successfully build and maintain healthy habits aren’t necessarily more MOTIVATED,

They’re simply more SKILLED at managing their internal resistance, those “I don’t wanna” thoughts.

They still have those thoughts, no matter how long they’ve been consistent.

They just have more tools to deal with them than you might have right now.

And that's okay.

I'm here to help you start building your "overcoming resistance" toolbox with the "YES, AND" technique.

How "YES, AND" Works

Instead of fighting the thought “I don’t feel like it,” you acknowledge it and then add a commitment to act anyway.

For example, when you catch yourself thinking:

• “I don’t feel like going for a walk right now."

Instead say: “Yes, I don’t feel like it, AND I’m going for a walk anyway because I know it will boost my energy and mood.”

• “I don’t have the energy to prepare a healthy meal today.”

Instead, say: “Yes, I’m not feeling energized right now, AND I’m going to prepare a simple, nutritious meal because my health is important to me.”

• “I’m too tired to do my workout.”

Instead, say: “Yes, I’m feeling tired, AND I’m going to do something quick and light to get my body moving because I know it’ll help me feel better.”

• "I don't want to eat this salad right now"

Instead, say: "Yes, I don't feel like eating this, AND that's okay. I do plenty of things I don't always feel like doing because I know they benefit me in the long run."

This tool is powerful because it doesn’t deny your current feelings (no toxic positivity here!); it acknowledges them while reaffirming your commitment to your goals.

By using “YES, AND,”

👉 You accept that it’s normal not to always feel motivated

AND

👉 You remind yourself that you can still take action even when the timing, mood or circumstances aren't "perfect".

In essence, you’re building a habit of resilience by turning a moment of resistance into an opportunity for growth.

So if you've been stuck in the "waiting for motivation" trap, remember that the secret to success ISN'T unwavering motivation,

It's in the skill of pushing through resistance.

You won’t always feel like it, and you don’t have to,

As long as you meet yourself with compassion while also holding yourself to your commitments.
