#32: Sort Your Life Out - 3

This week’s workshop gets real about “being busy”—not the Instagram version, the lived version where flights run late, doors slam, and plans spill over. Kicking off from a half-hour delay in Girona (because life), we dig into why perfectionism and people-pleasing keep you stuck and how an adventure mindset—adaptability plus self-reliance—transfers straight into everyday chaos. “I coach busy people” is meaningless; everyone’s busy.

 

The win isn’t a perfect hour in the gym, it’s protecting small, consistent non-negotiables: 10–15 minutes of movement, one deliberate meal with veg and protein, 2.5–3L of water, and real rest that isn’t doom-scrolling. We reframe the “I’ll start again tomorrow” spiral with a simple guardrail: miss once and it’s a blip; miss twice and you’re building a new habit—so shorten, split, or swap sessions rather than skipping them.

 

If you overthink and people-please, you likely outsource your worth and imagine catastrophes no one else will notice; the Girona trip proved it—delays, stair hauls, mechanicals, and still everyone was fine because we showed up and adapted. We borrow a mountain analogy: when the cloud drops and you lose the path, you don’t quit—you stop, take stock, solve the next problem, and keep moving. That same stimulus shows up on Mondays packed with school runs, work, dinners, and admin; your job is micro-plan, macro-flex, and keep momentum. You don’t need perfect time, you need some time.

 

You don’t need a fresh start, you need perspective and a streak that survives chaos. Today, pick one action—mobility, a walk, a handful of push-ups, prepping a proper plate, reading for 10—do it before bed, then call it a win. Show up imperfectly, adapt freely, and keep choosing the next right thing.
