If you feel like you’re constantly "running on fumes" and just trying to survive the day, you aren't alone —but you might be fighting the wrong battle. In this episode of the Fit Parent Podcast, Amy and I talk about why your environment is either your greatest ally or your biggest obstacle when it comes to your health. We discuss the reality of "brain fog," the trap of burnout, and why you have to stop waiting for your circumstances to get easier before you start taking care of yourself. 

Here are the takeaways from this episode:

• Why self-care isn't selfish; it's strategic

• The importance of auditing your "outputs" and realizing you can’t chase every goal at once without something breaking

• How you win by making the deliberate choice to protect your energy, even if that means temporarily letting go of some outcomes to focus on others

• What it looks like to adapt to your circumstances and why it’s the only strategy that keeps you in the game long-term

• Why your environment will always pull at you, so you must create internal boundaries to ensure you are the one in control of your daily actions.

Stop for a moment and ask yourself: Are you actually okay with not being effective in the areas of your life that matter most? We’re moving past the excuses and getting real about the grit it takes to manage yourself when the world feels like it's pulling you in a dozen different directions. Tune in to Episode 127 of the Fit Parent Podcast to learn how to recalibrate your expectations and reclaim your energy.
