Changing your behavior & building habits have nothing to do with willpower 🙊

8 months ago, I changed how I sleep. & hear me when I say, I had no intentions of ever being a ground sleeper.

It started with a concern for my health & wellbeing. I felt like I was doing all the “right” things, but every morning was the same. I was waking up exhausted, sore, & incredibly anxious.

As a behavior analyst & health coach, I know how much our environment influences our behavior. I knew I couldn’t just will myself into waking up early, energized, & excited. I wasn’t intentionally snoozing my alarm for 2 hours every morning. It wasn’t a lack of discipline.

So I got curious ✨

I looked at how things in my environment were influencing me. I tried some things, & I paid attention. Ultimately, I learned that my mattress was affecting my sleep & I figured out a way to support my health without needing to renovate my entire room or spend thousands on a fancy replacement.

& that experience is a big part of how I approach health & wellness coaching ☀️🌅

I’m not here to tell you what you should do or sell you some perfect plan that’s going to solve all your problems.

I’m here to help you figure out what matters to you, what’s getting in the way, & what changes align for you.

Sometimes the answer isn’t to try harder. It’s to try something different 🌀🌊

You don’t need to adopt ground sleeping. 🛌 But if you’re struggling with energy, mood, or overall wellbeing, your sleep habits & environment might be worth exploring 💤

What’s one thing you can change to help you build a healthier life? 🫶🏽

If this resonates, save it as a reminder to get curious. & if you’re ready for support figuring out what sustainable change could look like for YOU, my DMs are open 🧡✨
