What If Trying Harder Is the Reason You Keep Failing?
"Everything changes when we give ourselves permission to be more selective in what we choose to do." — George McKeown
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get said enough in the world of health and habit change:
If you’re struggling to follow through on your goals, the answer is NOT to try harder.
It’s not to add another set of rules to follow.
Or to build a stricter morning routine.
Or to find a better app to keep you “on track.”
But that’s what we’ve been taught, right?
If things aren’t working, it must mean that we’re not doing enough. That we’re not trying hard enough.
So we double down.
Tighten our grip.
Try to force ourselves to be consistent.
Swear that, “This time I’m going to be more disciplined.”
And maybe it works for a few days or even weeks.
But then life happens.
You get tired, stressed, or thrown off routine, and everything unravels…again.
Here’s the thing:
Most of the women I work with are already doing too much.
They’re juggling work deadlines, family obligations, aging parents, schedules that change by the hour…
And they’ve been trying to fix their consistency problems by piling even more on top.
But real follow-through doesn't come from doing more.
It comes from doing less — more intentionally.
And that means taking the right steps for your life — not just the ones some influencer swore by on Instagram.
Steps that don’t drain your energy or add more noise to your already overloaded brain.
But steps that create space.
Steps that bring relief.
Steps that actually fit your schedule, your personality, and your real-life priorities.
The problem isn’t that you’re not trying hard enough.
👉 It’s that the solutions you’ve been sold weren’t made for YOU.
That’s exactly why I’ve been working behind the scenes on something new — something designed to help you finally figure out what’s actually going to work for you.
If you’ve ever wished someone could look at your life, your habits, and your obstacles — and show you the simple, strategic tweaks that would make consistency feel easier (without a full life overhaul)…
Stay tuned.
The Follow-Through Fix is coming soon.
