- What’s the best workout?
- What diet should I follow?
- Am I eating well?
- How can I improve my sleep?
Lately, I’ve been doing about one online webinar a week.
And during the Q&A, I get A LOT of questions.
(Q&A could go on for an hour)
People have tons of health questions.
And the rabbit hole has no end.
Because we’re always learning more about the body.
There is always more information available for health.
(That’s how science works)
When it comes to our health, it’s easy to get stuck in the thinking phase.
Plus we’re bombarded with information from all sides—social media, news articles, friends, and family—and it can be overwhelming.
We research diet trends, workout routines, and stress-management techniques, but never put any of it into practice.
Reminder: Go from Information to Action
My problem with webinars is this:
I provide information, but have less control over whether people use it.
I was giving people plenty to think about, but how much can people put it into practice?
My solution?
I create a quick online assessment that I share at each webinar.
Because the goal is to move quickly from “What should I do?” to “Okay, this is a specific recommendation I can act on.”
For example, in my webinar “Am I eating well enough for my mental health?” I shared a quick assessment called “Assess Your Mental Health Risk Factors.”
This quiz isn’t meant to be a definitive or medical assessment, but a guide to transition from confusion to action.
By answering some simple questions, they can identify changes needed in their diet or lifestyle to support their mental well-being.
Ask Yourself: Where am I Overthinking?
I’m sure you’re considering taking care of your health in some way today.
(Almost everyone is)
- Are you planning to do more exercise?
- Are you trying to improve your diet?
- Are you working on your mental health?
Whatever area it is, you’re probably putting it off because you feel like “you’re not ready to get started.”
That’s normal.
But maybe there’s something you can do right now.
I had a client trying to overhaul his entire diet and figure out his entire grocery system.
We couldn’t get started.
In his mind (and I agree), it’s a big project that requires planning and strategy to get started.
But it was delaying his progress and stopping him from taking action.
So we stepped back and asked:
“What can we do TODAY?”
The diet overhaul may take a month (or two) to get started.
But today, let’s do something:
- One fruit in the morning
- One less take-out meal per week
- One extra glass of water between meals.
These small actions may seem insignificant, but they are essential steps toward building momentum and confidence.
By starting small, you create a habit and see progress, which can motivate you to take on larger challenges.
