Body Habit Rescue | Mom Health and Fitness, Burnout, Self-Care, Mindset, Strategic Habits and Routines

Did you know that gathering motivation is the WORST way to build a new healthy habit? It doesn’t matter how many times you like a video on Instagram or how many vision ideas you add to your Pinterest board, motivation alone will fail us if we are waiting to catch the wave into action. It’s because motivation is just another name for intentions. It is great to have good motivations for WHY we do wh...
