⚠️ The Danger of the “ONE Tool” Mindset: 

When we put too much power into one thing—one habit, one food rule, one supplement—we create this underlying belief that if it stops working, we’re doomed. It creates fear, pressure, and the worst part… it can push us into “Give Up Mode.” 

Ever thought: 

• “If I don’t get menopause figured out, I’ll never lose weight.”
• “If my cortisol is high, it’s hopeless.”
• “If I’m insulin resistant, what’s the point?”

Those thoughts are heavy. They make the journey feel impossible.
 
 
🌱 How Do We Fix This?

We build a bigger toolkit.

Here’s a simple, empowering exercise I do with clients:

✅ Write down all the daily actions that: 

1. Have helped you in the past
2. Feel sustainable and realistic—even if you were 80 or 90 years old

Think of them like sticky notes on your mirror. Not harsh rules—just supportive, kind nudges.
 
For example:

• Drink water daily
• Limit caffeine in the morning
• Move your body in a way that feels good
• Add protein and fiber to meals
• Go to bed by 10pm

No “no sugar.” No 1200-calorie diet. No punishment. Just support.
 
And don’t rely on your brain to remember what you’re doing. Track your habits! Use a planner, a calendar, or download my free habit tracker on HealthAccountabilityCoach.com.
