[tip] Set a minimum threshold or a floor for yourself.

A lot of people self-sabotage their progress by trying to do too much at once.

You can be tracking all your meals, going to the gym 6 days a week and getting 10k steps done on your best days.

But have you set a minimum threshold for your worst days? A minimum set of standards for yourself?

This is the secret to sustainable weight loss. Habits that you can sustain even during the busiest weeks.

Here is what it could look like:

1. If you can't track your meals, you will at least make sure to get a serving of protein and veggies in every meal.
2. If you can't do 10k steps, you will at least do 3k steps. No matter what.
3. If you can't go to the gym. You will spend at least 15 minutes doing a physical activity you enjoy.

When you set easily achievable minimum standards for yourself. You avoid self-sabotage from an all-or-nothing mentality.

Hope this helps.
