Trying to do it all yourself? Here’s why it’s not working
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone – Why Support Changes Everything
If you’ve ever tried to change your eating habits, start a new exercise routine, or regain your energy, only to feel frustrated, exhausted, or like you’re constantly starting over, you’re not alone.
And you’re not failing.
You’re just trying to do something difficult without support.
Why Support Makes All the Difference
We often think we “should” be able to do it alone. But -
Change is hard—even when we know what to do.
Life gets busy—and healthy habits fall to the bottom of the list.
Self-sabotage, doubt, and guilt love to show up just when we’re making progress.
That’s why having someone in your corner changes everything.
Real-Life Example:
A client recently told me she’d tried to cut back on sugar so many times. She’d start strong, then give up when cravings kicked in, or when life got stressful. She thought she didn’t have the willpower.
But everything changed once we worked together and she had simple tools, regular check-ins, and someone to help her stay on track.
No more all-or-nothing. No more shame spirals.
She just made steady progress because she wasn’t doing it alone anymore.
The Psychology of Support
Studies show that people who have accountability, even a weekly check-in, are:
More likely to stick to their health goals
Less likely to give up when life gets tough
Happier and more motivated long-term
Support helps us feel seen, heard, and encouraged, all essential for lasting change.
Try This:
If there’s something you’ve been struggling to change, ask yourself:
Who could support me with this?
Who can I share my goal with, even just to say it out loud?
Do I need someone to check in with me each week?
Could a group or coach help me stay on track?
And if your answer is “I don’t know who that person is…”
I’d love to support you. You’re not meant to figure it all out alone.
And you don’t have to. Here’s to feeling supported, not stuck.
