Strategy vs. Self Awareness: How To Choose What's Right For You
Tired of chasing strategies that seem to work for everyone but you? In this episode, I’m sharing how to tell whether a strategy will actually work for you — and why self-awareness is the most underrated tool in your goal-getting toolkit.Whether your goal is losing weight, writing a book, running a race, or building a business, this conversation will help you trust your process.You’ve already tried the plans, followed the formulas, and downloaded the freebies… but somehow, none of them stick. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on why that is and how to finally stop following advice that doesn’t fit. From weight loss to business building, you can find strategy advice everywhere, but the missing piece is you. Your mindset. Your wiring. Your self-awareness.Inside this episode, I'm offering two vital questions to ask yourself when you're choosing what's right for you.We’re talking about the difference between strategies that apply to your unique situation and ones that just appeal to you (but won’t work in practice). And I’m also sharing the real reason I’ve pivoted my business — and what journaling, mindset, and emotional resonance have to do with achieving literally any goal. If you’re ready to stop forcing strategies that don’t feel right, this episode will show you how to come home to what does.Watch the Daily 3™ Journaling Masterclass to learn the 5-minute daily journaling practice that will help you trust yourself, feel your feelings, and finally get your goal.

And here’s the thing to know about biology: we humans are always always always seeking pleasure and avoiding pain.So these journaling prompts are effective because they shine a light on what’s pleasurable for you and make it very clear where you’re trying to force yourself to do something… well, not necessarily physically painful, but emotionally unpleasant or uncomfortable, like denying yourself your favorite foods or making yourself exercise in ways you don’t enjoy.And the prompts will help you lose weight faster because simplicity plus systems equals speed. Once again, we’re working with biology here. Your brain loves to categorize information, and it’s literally hard-wired to enjoy repetition.So, these four journaling prompts? They’re like a win-win-win-win situation, as far as biology is concerned.Thanks for listening! 💞Watch the Daily 3™ Journaling Masterclass to learn the 5-minute daily journaling practice that will help you trust yourself, feel your feelings, and finally get your goal.
