48: Summer bodies are made in the winter. How to rewire your brain and make consistency a habit

In this episode of the Mindful Method podcast, Coach Mike discusses the challenges of maintaining consistency during the winter months, particularly for Canadians facing shorter days and colder weather. He emphasizes that consistency does not equate to perfection and introduces the concept of 80% compliance, where missing a few workouts or meals is acceptable. The conversation also highlights the importance of mindset shifts, particularly moving away from the all or none mentality towards a focus on progress over perfection. Coach Mike encourages listeners to reflect on their habits and seek support if needed, reminding them that sustainable change is a gradual process.TakeawaysConsistency does not mean being perfect with all your habits.You can still make progress with 80% compliance.Missing a workout occasionally is totally okay.The all or none mentality can hinder progress.Focus on progress over perfection.Understanding what helps you stay consistent is crucial.Avoiding repeating mistakes is key to maintaining habits.Winter can be a challenging time for routines.Reflect on your habits to identify areas for improvement.Sustainable change takes time and effort.
