    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    • A roadmap that takes you step by step through changing how you see yourself
    • Over 100 pages of empowering mindset prompts, habit strategies, and printable tools
    • Specific support for GLP-1 users – because your journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s
    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Ready for Real Success? Let’s Do This.

    Whether you’re just starting your GLP-1 journey or trying to find your stride again, this series is your ultimate guide to making it work.

    Real GLP-1 success isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. It’s about understanding your mindset, building habits that last, and bouncing back stronger when things get tough.

    So pick a post that speaks to where you’re at right now, and dive in.

    Because GLP-1 success is more than just a number on the scale — it’s a lifestyle you love.

    Why GLP-1 Motivation Fades (and How to Build Lasting Momentum)

    GLP-1 Motivation

    Let’s be honest — GLP-1 motivation is like a fresh notebook. At first, it’s all shiny potential and big plans. You’re pumped, you’ve got your meds (Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro), maybe even a cute new water bottle.

    You’re unstoppable… until you’re not.

    Because here’s the hard truth: motivation is about as reliable as a British summer. One minute, it’s all sunshine and good vibes, the next? Rain, boredom, and “I’ll start again Monday.”

    But here’s the secret no one tells you: motivation is rubbish. It’s not what gets you results. What you need is momentum. That slow, steady, unstoppable force that keeps you going, even when you’re not feeling it.

    So today, I’m giving you 11 powerful ways to build momentum on GLP-1s — because momentum is what makes you unstoppable.

    Table of Contents

    1. Know the Difference: GLP-1 Motivation vs. Momentum

    Motivation is a spark. It’s that initial excitement, the “new year, new me” energy. But it’s gone faster than a TikTok trend.

    Momentum, on the other hand, is a snowball. It’s the little wins that keep you moving even when you’re tired, stressed, or just can’t be bothered. The best part? Once momentum’s rolling, it keeps going.

    Stop chasing motivation — start building momentum.

    If this is hitting home, the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook breaks this down step-by-step – showing you exactly how to build momentum through identity-based habits, not just hype.

    2. Start with Micro Habits (Because Tiny Wins Add Up)

    You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. In fact, that’s the quickest way to burn out.

    • Pick 3-5 tiny habits you can do even on your worst days.
    • Drink water before coffee.
    • Add protein to every meal.
    • Take a 5-minute walk each day.
    • These sound simple because they are — and that’s the point. Consistency beats perfection.

    3. Habit Stack for Automatic Wins

    Momentum is easiest when you don’t have to think. That’s where habit stacking comes in.

    • Pair a new habit with one you already do.
    • “After I brush my teeth, I take my GLP-1 shot.”
    • “When I make my morning coffee, I fill up my water bottle.”
    • “After dinner, I write down one win for the day.”
    • It’s like setting yourself up for automatic success.

    Struggling with habits? Go read Struggling to Stay on Track? Try This Simple Daily GLP-1 Routine.

    4. Track Your Wins (Yes, Even the Tiny Ones)

    If you only focus on the big picture, you’ll miss how far you’ve come.

    • Keep a “Wins Journal.” Write down one win each day — no matter how small.
    • “Got my protein in.” “Walked for 10 minutes.” “Didn’t snack after dinner.”
    • On rough days, read them back. It’s proof you’re making progress, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

    5. Ditch All-or-Nothing Thinking

    This is where most people go wrong. They think they have to be perfect, or they’ve failed.

    • Missed a workout? Do five minutes instead of thirty.
    • Ate something off-plan? Make your next meal a good one.
    • GLP-1 success isn’t about being flawless — it’s about being consistent.

    6. Build a Momentum Routine (Make It Unmissable)

    Don’t wait for motivation — make momentum a habit.

    • Morning: Read your “I’m becoming someone who…” list.
    • Midday: Write one win in your Wins Journal.
    • Evening: Reflect — What went well? What needs tweaking?
    • It’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about doing something, every day.

    This daily rhythm is exactly what the IAGAM method helps you create – a mindset routine that becomes your anchor, especially when motivation packs up and disappears.

    7. Make Your Why Impossible to Ignore

    Why did you start GLP-1 in the first place? To feel better? Keep up with your kids? Feel confident in your own skin?

    • Write down your “why” — be specific.
    • “I want to feel strong, not just slim.”
    • “I want to run a 5k without feeling like I’m dying.”
    • Stick it where you’ll see it — fridge, phone lock screen, even the bathroom mirror.

    8. Use Action Triggers (Make Motivation Optional)

    If you have to rely on willpower, you’re in trouble. Instead, make motivation automatic.

    • Set out your workout gear the night before.
    • Keep a water bottle in the fridge, so it’s always cold and ready.
    • Have a playlist that instantly makes you want to move.
    • Turn good choices into a habit, not a decision.

    9. Reward Consistency, Not Just Results

    Most people only celebrate the scale — that’s a mistake.

    • Did you stick to your protein target for a week? Treat yourself.
    • Walked every day for a month? Get those fancy leggings.
    • When I lost 80lbs, it wasn’t the final number that made me happy — it was the milestones along the way. Running my first 5k, feeling strong, doing my first push-up.

    10. Surround Yourself with Momentum Makers

    You become like the people you follow — so follow wisely.

    • Stick with people who share realistic, encouraging content.
    • If someone’s account makes you feel rubbish, unfollow.
    • And be your own biggest cheerleader. Yes, really.

    11. Never Rely on Motivation — Focus on Momentum

    Motivation is fleeting. Momentum is forever.

    • On the days you can’t be bothered, do something small.
    • A five-minute walk. A protein shake. Filling up your water bottle.
    • Tiny actions build momentum — and momentum keeps you going.

    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    The Bottom Line: GLP-1 Motivation Is Overrated — Build Momentum Instead

    Stop waiting to “feel motivated.” It won’t last. But momentum? That’s the real secret. It’s what gets you results even on the hard days.

    It’s why you’ll keep going even when the hype fades.

    Next Steps:

    GLP-1 Mindset Hacks: 13 Powerful Ways to Stay on Track Even When Motivation Fades

    GLP-1 MINDSET

    So, you’ve got the GLP-1 meds. Maybe it’s Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Zepbound — the cravings have chilled out, and the weight has started shifting. But now the honeymoon phase is over, and suddenly, motivation is as unreliable as British weather. One minute you’re pumped, the next you’re eyeing up the biscuits. Don’t panic. It’s not that you’re lazy — it’s that motivation is a fickle little thing. The real secret? A strong GLP-1 mindset that keeps you going, even on the days you can’t be bothered.

    And today, I’m handing you 13 GLP-1 mindset hacks that will keep you consistent, confident, and crushing your goals.

    Table of Contents

    1. Flip the Script: You’re Not Just Losing Weight – You’re Becoming Someone New

    GLP-1 mindset isn’t just about seeing a smaller number on the scale — it’s about becoming the kind of person who sticks to healthy habits, even when it’s tough.

    • Don’t just aim to “lose weight” – aim to become someone who takes care of herself.
    • Write down, “I’m becoming someone who… fuels her body, moves with purpose, and keeps her promises to herself.”
    • Read it every morning. Yes, really.

    This is the core of the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook — it walks you through how to make that identity shift stick, even when your brain’s trying to drag you back to old patterns.

    If you struggle with self-sabotage, go read Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s (and How to Finally Rewire Your Identity).

    2. Set Your “Bare Minimum” Habits

    Motivation will disappear — I promise. But that doesn’t mean you give up.

    • Set 3 non-negotiable habits you can stick to even on your worst days.
    • Mine? 10 minutes of movement, protein with every meal, and water before coffee.
    • The key is making them so simple you can’t fail.

    3. Make Wins Visible (Yes, Even the Tiny Ones)

    Nothing boosts your mindset faster than seeing proof you’re making progress.

    • Create a “Win Journal” — write down one win every day, no matter how small.
    • “Hit my protein goal.” “Chose water over soda.” “Didn’t snack after dinner.”
    • When motivation wobbles, read them back.

    The IAGAM method helps you build this habit of tracking small-but-mighty mindset wins – because momentum doesn’t come from weight loss, it comes from believing you’re changing.

    Want to celebrate your wins properly? Check out Celebrating Milestones: How to Reward Yourself on the GLP-1 Path.

    4. Practice Self-Compassion (It’s Not Optional)

    Stop beating yourself up for not being perfect. No one is.

    • Instead of “I messed up,” try “Okay, that didn’t go as planned — what can I learn?”
    • Talk to yourself like you would a friend who’s struggling.
    • Remember: progress isn’t linear. One bad day doesn’t ruin your journey.

    5. Ditch “All-or-Nothing” Thinking

    You’re not either “on track” or “off track” — you’re just doing your best with what you’ve got.

    • Missed a workout? Do 10 minutes instead of 30.
    • Didn’t eat perfectly? Make your next meal a good one.
    • Success is about bouncing back, not being perfect.

    6. Use LifeUp Pro to Turn Habits into a Game

    If you thrive on a little dopamine boost (hello, ADHD brains), this is for you.

    • Set up your habits in the app (protein goal, step count, no mindless snacking).
    • Earn “coins” for every habit you complete.
    • Trade those coins for rewards you actually want — fancy coffee, new book, even a spa day.
    • It’s like having your own rewards arcade in your pocket.

    7. Reframe Setbacks as “Data” Not Disasters

    Your GLP-1 mindset isn’t about avoiding setbacks — it’s about learning from them.

    • Didn’t lose weight this week? That’s data. Check your habits.
    • Struggled with cravings? Look at your protein intake.
    • Instead of “I’ve failed,” ask, “What can I tweak?”

    8. Make Your Why Crystal Clear (And Keep It Visible)

    Why did you start GLP-1s? Is it to feel more confident? To run after your kids without getting winded? To get off medication?

    • Write down your “why” — and be specific.
    • Stick it somewhere you’ll see it every day — fridge, phone screen, journal.
    • Remind yourself why it’s worth pushing through.

    9. Surround Yourself with Positive Voices (Including Your Own)

    Social media can be a nightmare for mindset — unless you’re careful.

    • Follow people who inspire you, who share real, honest journeys.
    • Mute, unfollow, or block anyone who makes you feel rubbish.
    • And talk to yourself like a mate — kind, but honest.

    10. Build a Mindset Routine (Yes, Really)

    Don’t just wait to “feel motivated.” Set yourself up for a good mindset.

    • Morning: Read your “I’m becoming someone who…” list.
    • Midday: Write one win in your Win Journal.
    • Evening: Reflect — What went well? What needs tweaking?

    11. Challenge Negative Thoughts (Don’t Let Them Run the Show)

    Your brain will try to tell you all sorts of nonsense — don’t believe it.

    • When you catch yourself thinking, “I’ll never be able to do this,” ask, “Is that true?”
    • Replace it with something more realistic: “This is tough, but I’m learning.”
    • Talk back to your negative thoughts — yes, out loud if you have to.

    12. Keep a “Future You” Vision (And Make It Exciting)

    What does Future You look like? Feel like? How does she spend her day?

    • Write down a day in the life of “Future You” — make it detailed and fun.
    • Read it when motivation dips.
    • Mine? Future Me is running 5ks, feeling confident in her own skin, and saying yes to adventures without worrying about how she looks.

    13. Don’t Aim for Motivation — Aim for Momentum

    Motivation is unreliable. Momentum is better.

    • Tiny actions, done consistently, build momentum.
    • Even on the worst days, do something — a 5-minute walk, a protein shake, a glass of water.
    • Remind yourself: you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep moving.

    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Bottom Line: Your Mindset Is Your Secret Weapon

    A strong GLP-1 mindset doesn’t mean you’re motivated all the time — it means you know how to keep going even when you’re not.

    Next Steps:

    Staying consistent is a mindset game — not just a motivation game.

    GLP-1 Goal Setting for The Ultimate Fat Loss Results

    glp-1 goal setting

    You keep telling yourself, “This time I’ll do it right.” You’ve got the meds. The motivation. Maybe even a fancy new water bottle and a vague plan scribbled in your Notes app. But without clear GLP-1 goal setting, that motivation fades fast—and a few weeks in, you’re floundering like a salad in a heatwave.

    Trust me, I’ve been there.

    Here’s the deal: it’s not that you’re lazy or broken. It’s that your goals are vague at best, nonexistent at worst.

    “Be healthier.”
    “Lose some weight.”
    “Try harder.”

    That’s not a plan. That’s wishful thinking and hoping for the best.

    What you need is proper, purposeful GLP-1 goal setting—the kind that doesn’t vanish the second your routine gets rocked or your week goes sideways. The kind that helps you feel in control, even when the scale is throwing a strop.

    Table of Contents

    Why Most GLP-1 Goals Flop (and How to Avoid It)

    Look, most people don’t set goals—they toss up vague hopes and call it a day.
    “I want to be more consistent.” Brilliant. But what does that mean when you’re knackered, it’s raining, and your protein shake tastes like wallpaper paste?

    GLP-1 makes it easier to stick to habits—but if you’ve got no clear direction, you’ll drift back into old patterns faster than you can say “sod it, I’ll start Monday.”

    This is exactly why I built the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – it gives you structure when motivation fizzles, and helps you create goals that actually stick, even when life gets messy.

    If this sounds a bit too familiar, go read Still Falling Off Track? Build GLP-1 Habits That Reinforce the New You — it’ll help you build the foundation.

    Why “SMART” Goals Are Fine — But IMPACT Goals Get Results

    We all know setting goals is key if you actually want to get anywhere — but let’s be honest, not all goals are created equal.

    You’ve probably heard of SMART goals — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. Solid. Dependable. A little bit… corporate.

    SMART is a good start — but you’re not here to play it safe. You’re here to grow.

    Enter: IMPACT Goals.

    These take everything useful from SMART, but turn the volume up. Instead of polite checkboxes, IMPACT Goals are designed to mean something. They push you to level up, not just go through the motions.

    They’re exactly what GLP-1 goal setting needs — structure and purpose.

    Here’s the gist (don’t worry, I’ve got a whole post coming soon that goes into full detail — keep an eye out for The Ultimate Guide to Setting IMPACT Goals on GLP-1s).

    I – Intentional

    No fluff. No “I’ll just be better this week” vibes. Your goal is tied directly to your bigger vision. Not “get fit” – but “build a running routine that makes me feel energised and capable.”

    M – Measurable

    We still need receipts. “Run three times this week” or “Hit 90g of protein five days in a row.” Numbers. Trackers. Progress you can see.

    P – Purposeful

    No more setting goals because you think you should. You want them to mean something. Want stronger legs so you feel confident hiking this summer? Go for it. Want to reduce bloating? Chase it. Purpose beats people-pleasing every time.

    A – Achievable

    Yes, your goals should push you – but not into a meltdown. Think stretchy, not snappy. “Cook at home three nights this week” is way more achievable than “No takeaways ever again.”

    C – Challenging

    If your goal doesn’t make you a bit nervous, it’s probably too easy. You’re stronger than you think. Don’t be afraid to set a goal that makes you rise to meet it.

    T – Timely

    Deadlines make dreams real. Without one, your goal’s just floating around with no anchor. Pick a date. Mark it. Work backwards. Job done.

    GLP-1 GOAL SETTING

    Align Your Goals with Who You’re Becoming

    This is the bit most people skip—and it’s why they keep setting the same goals on repeat.

    You’re not just trying to lose weight. You’re not just aiming to hit a step count. You’re becoming someone who lives differently. And your goals should reflect that.

    This identity-first approach is at the heart of the IAGAM method—because when your goals match who you want to be, everything clicks into place faster.

    So ask yourself this:

    “If I truly believed I was becoming a healthier, happier, more confident version of me… what would I do today?”

    Then build from there.

    Try framing your goals like this:

    “I’m someone who…”
    – fuels her body with intention
    – respects her hunger and fullness
    – follows through, even when it’s inconvenient
    – moves her body because it feels good, not because she has to

    Goals grounded in identity don’t just get ticked off — they transform you.

    Not quite there with the mindset piece yet? No worries. Head over to Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s (and How to Finally Rewire Your Identity) for a good old-fashioned mindset reset.

    How to Stick to Your GLP-1 Goals (Even When You Can’t Be Bothered)

    We’re not aiming for perfect. We’re aiming for repeatable. So when life throws you off, you’re not starting from scratch — you’re just picking up where you left off.

    Here are a few tried-and-tested tricks to keep your GLP-1 goal setting on track, even when you’re running on fumes.

    1. Stack Your Goals
    Pair new habits with old ones. For example:
    “After I make my morning coffee, I prep breakfast.”
    “After I take my injection, I do a 2-minute journal check-in.”

    2. Use Visual Reminders
    Post-it notes. Phone lock screens. Whiteboard in the kitchen. Anything that nudges you back into action without having to “remember” it.

    3. Track Your Wins (Not Just the Big Ones)
    Did you choose protein first at lunch? Amazing.
    Drank water before coffee? Win.
    Said no to the “all-or-nothing” voice in your head? That’s a massive win.

    The more evidence you give your brain that you’re capable, the more it’ll believe it.

    And if you hit a rough patch (because you will, we all do), don’t spiral. Head straight to What Should You Do When GLP-1 Weight Loss Stalls or Gets Hard? for your reset plan.

    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    IAGAM stands for:

    • Identity – Who you believe you are and who you want to be
    • Action – What you consistently do and how to take each step
    • Growth – How you respond to challenges and learn from them
    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    Inside, you’ll find:

    • A roadmap that takes you step by step through changing how you see yourself
    • Over 100 pages of empowering mindset prompts, habit strategies, and printable tools
    • Specific support for GLP-1 users – because your journey isn’t the same as everyone else’s
    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    Real-Life Goal Examples (Feel Free to Steal)

    Still not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas you can swipe and make your own:

    • Eat 90g+ of protein every day for the next 7 days
    • Take a 10-minute walk after dinner 5x this week
    • Swap scrolling for journaling three mornings this week
    • Hit 7,000 steps daily for the next fortnight
    • Prep lunch at home Monday–Friday this week

    Keep it simple. Keep it doable. And keep it connected to who you’re becoming.

    The Bottom Line

    You don’t need better willpower. You need better goals.

    GLP-1 goal setting isn’t about pressure or punishment—it’s about creating a system that actually works when your brain is tired and life is chaotic.

    Make it personal. Make it meaningful. Make it something your future self will thank you for.

    Next Steps:

    Big dreams need small wins.

    You’re not just chasing results. You’re building a lifestyle that supports the version of you you’ve always wanted to be.

    And you’re already on your way.

    Still Falling Off Track? Build GLP-1 Habits That Reinforce the New You

    GLP-1 HABITS

    You’ve lost some weight, the cravings have eased off… but somehow, you still feel one bad day away from falling back into old habits. That’s because it’s not just about the injections—it’s about the GLP-1 habits you build alongside them.

    The ones that match the version of you who keeps the weight off. If your day-to-day routine still screams “panic dieter” or “I’ll start again Monday,” it’s time to shift.

    This post is your no-fluff guide to building habits that reinforce the new you—one tiny win at a time.

    Table of Contents

    Why GLP-1 Habits Work Better When They’re Identity-Based

    Here’s the tea: if you still think of yourself as “a dieter,” you’ll act like one. On-again, off-again, all-or-nothing, spiral-and-snack type of energy.

    But if you start thinking like someone who takes care of her body, even just a little bit? Your choices shift.

    That’s why I bang on about identity so much (and even built the IAGAM mindset method around it, it works, especially for GLP-1 users who’ve struggled with self-sabotage).

    And lucky for you, GLP-1s reduce the food noise and impulse-driven chaos—which means now’s the perfect time to sneak in those new identity-affirming habits without resistance biting you on the bum.

    This isn’t about perfection. This is about alignment. Tiny actions that say, “Yep, I’m that girl now.”

    If you haven’t read Why You Still Self-Sabotage on GLP-1s, start there—it’ll help you shift the mindset before layering on the habits.

    The 5-Minute Rule: Because Motivation Is a Flake

    Let’s be honest—if your habits rely on motivation, you’re stuffed.

    That’s why we build habits so small you can’t talk yourself out of them. Think “brushing your teeth” energy. No drama. No debate. Just done.

    Here’s what that might look like:

    • Morning win: A glass of electrolytes while your coffee brews = “I’m someone who supports her energy.”
    • Midday move: One stretch between meetings = “I’m someone who moves her body daily.”
    • Evening vibe: Write one sentence in a journal = “I’m someone who reflects and resets.”

    These micro GLP-1 habits make it easier to stay consistent—because let’s be honest, motivation is as flaky as British summer weather.

    This is exactly the kind of thing I walk you through in the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – how to make identity shifts actually stick through action, not just intention.

    GLP-1 HABITS

    Everyday GLP-1 Habits to Reinforce the New You

    Let’s break it down so it’s dead easy. You don’t need more things to do—you need the right things, done often.

    Nutrition Habits

    • Pre-log your meals or jot a rough plan in your Notes app
    • Add protein first at every meal = strong, fuelled queen
    • Batch a couple of gentle prep items (boiled eggs, soup, smoothie bags) = organised but make it casual

    Movement Habits

    • Five-minute walk before your first scroll of the day = smug and mobile
    • Do 10 squats while waiting for the kettle = thighs of steel pending
    • Put your workout clothes on even if you’re just walking = identity shift in fabric form

    Mindset Habits

    • Start the day with “I am becoming…” instead of “I should…”
    • Track one tiny win per day (no matter how silly it feels)
    • Visualise future you for 60 seconds—what she wears, eats, says, believes

    You don’t need a total life overhaul. You need consistency. Repeating small, identity-anchored habits until they become your default.

    The IAGAM Framework

    If you’ve ever found yourself slipping back into old habits, even with GLP-1s doing their job – it’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because you’re still thinking like the “old you.”

    That’s why I created the IAGAM Mindset Weight Loss Ebook – a guide for shifting the stories you tell yourself, one tiny action at a time.

    • Achievement – What success really means to you and how to maintain it
    • Mindset – The thoughts and beliefs that drive it all

    This isn’t another “believe in yourself!” pep talk. It’s a mindset reset, with structure.

    • Journal pages, identity scripts, and mini wins that keep you going even when the scale stalls

    How to Make It Stick (Even on Your Couldn’t-Care-Less Days)

    Let’s be real—you won’t feel like it every day. That’s normal. Here’s how to stop yourself from binning the whole plan:

    Habit stacking – pair a new habit with something you already do:

    “After I brush my teeth, I’ll drink water.”
    “After I open my laptop, I’ll stretch my arms.”

    If/Then plans – your failsafe for chaotic mornings:

    “If I miss my walk, then I’ll do 2 minutes of stretching before bed.”
    “If I skip a meal, I’ll add protein to my next one. No guilt. Just action.”

    Track with grace, not judgement – One missed day? Doesn’t matter. Two missed days? Just reset. No shame spiral required.

    The Bare-Minimum Monthly Declutter Routine That Still Feels Amazing

    monthly declutter routine

    Let’s be honest. When life’s busy, messy, or just plain overwhelming, the last thing you want to do is reorganise your sock drawer or deep-clean your fridge. But here’s the truth: clutter isn’t just about stuff. It’s in your brain, your schedule, your habits, your digital life… and yep, your Tupperware cupboard too. You need a bare-minimum monthly declutter routine.

    That’s where this guide comes in — the Lazy Girl’s version of a monthly reset. No pressure. No perfection. Just small, satisfying wins to help you live your best life without needing to burn sage or colour-code your entire house (unless you want to).

    So if you’ve been craving a life reset, here’s your low-effort, high-impact checklist to declutter your mind, body, and home in a way that actually sticks.

    Table of Contents

    Step 1: Declutter Routine for Your Mind

    You can’t feel calm if your brain is playing 27 tabs at once.

    Quick Wins:

    • Do a brain dump in your bullet journal notebook — no structure, just vibes.
    • Write down the top 3 things making you feel frazzled.
    • Turn off notifications that make you twitchy.
    • Try a 5-minute meditation or breathing exercise.

    These tiny mindset resets are powerful habit ideas for anyone wanting to boost mental clarity and reduce stress.

    If you need inspo, try adding a few self-reflection quotes or intentions to your planner for the month ahead. Think of it as emotional exfoliation.

    Want to keep the good vibes going after your declutter? These 21 daily habits are ridiculously simple and actually make you feel better fast.

    Step 2: Declutter Routine for Your Body

    No, not a juice cleanse. No shame spirals here, thanks.

    This is about tuning into what your body needs, not punishing it.

    Try These:

    • Stretch or walk for 10 minutes — joyful movement counts, always.
    • Add one extra veggie or source of protein to your day.
    • Drink more water (basic but elite).
    • Ditch expired supplements, stale snacks, or anything you “might use one day.”

    These are simple, feel-good healthy habits and routines that support your body without drama. They’re the kind of good lifestyle habits that genuinely make you feel better — no full transformation required.

    Step 3: Declutter Routine for Your Home

    We’re not talking full-on Marie Kondo. We’re talking “5 minutes before I go feral” energy.

    Quick-Start Areas:

    • Clear off one surface (yes, just one).
    • Toss/recycle 5 things you don’t use.
    • Tidy one “doom drawer.”
    • Put away the laundry pile (you know the one).
    • Unsubscribe from a few spammy emails while you’re at it.

    Even a mini clear-out can shift your whole vibe. This is where aesthetic lifestyle tips come into play — light a candle, play a playlist, and pretend you’re the main character in a “Get My Life Together” montage.

    Step 4: Declutter Your Habits

    We love a good habits list — but let’s not ignore the habits that are not serving us.

    Ask Yourself:

    • What’s one habit that’s draining me right now?
    • What’s one habit that I want to do more of?
    • What’s one easy swap I can make this month?

    This is how you start changing your lifestyle in a realistic, sustainable way. It’s not about a full overhaul — it’s about small habit changes that stack up over time.

    Want to track your changes? Use habit trackers or sticky notes, or go full DIY life with a custom routine on your fridge.

    Whatever works for you.

    Need more feel-good ideas that don’t involve burning out? Check out my Monthly Self-Care Checklist – it’s packed with simple ways to refill your cup.

    Step 5: Declutter Routine for Energy

    Protect your peace like it’s your skincare stash. People, apps, routines, expectations — decluttering your energy is the ultimate flex.

    Set Boundaries With:

    • Your calendar (you don’t need to say yes to everything)
    • Your phone (social media time limits = sanity savers)
    • Your own self-talk (you are doing better than you think)

    This is one of the most underrated ways to self improve — and it has nothing to do with productivity. It’s about improving yourself by removing what doesn’t serve you.

    Now that you’ve cleared some space, let’s fill it with purpose. Here’s my 5-step goal setting guide for women who are done playing small.

    Final Pep Talk

    You don’t need to declutter your entire existence in one weekend. This guide is here to remind you that even lazy, low-energy, small changes can create massive shifts.

    This is your permission slip to do the bare minimum… and still feel so much better for it.

    So grab your playlist, make a little checklist, and start with one thing today. That’s all it takes to begin making habits that support your body, clear your mind, and help you live your life with more intention and a lot less chaos.

    Monthly Goal Setting Made Simple: The 5-Step Reset for Women Who Want Real Change

    monthly goal setting

    Let’s talk about monthly goal setting.

    Not the Pinterest-perfect vision board that ends up dusty by next month. Not the never-ending to-do list that makes you want to cry into your tea. I’m talking about simple, practical, life-altering goals — the kind that fix you, fuel you, and help you actually show up for the woman you’re becoming.

    This post is your go-to monthly goal setting checklist — a realistic, powerful reset you can come back to every month to keep your energy focused, your brain less frazzled, and your life moving in the right direction.

    We’re keeping it simple with 5 steps, loads of habit ideas, and plenty of ways to self improve that don’t require a full personality transplant. Whether you’re after a full lifestyle change or just want to stop feeling like a walking “meh,” this guide is for you.

    Let’s make goal setting feel like a vibe again — not a chore.

    Table of Contents

    Step 1: Reflect & Reset

    You don’t need a magic crystal to figure out what’s next. You just need to pause and ask the right questions.

    Look back on the last month and jot down a few quick thoughts in your bullet journal notebook or planner.

    Try these prompts:

    • What made me feel good?
    • What absolutely did my head in?
    • What habits actually stuck?

    This step is your “check-in” — the aesthetic lifestyle tip no one talks about. Slap on a face mask, light a candle, and reflect like the self-aware queen you are.

    Step 2: Choose 1–3 Aligned Goals

    You do not need a 47-item goals list.

    Pick 1–3 things that actually matter — things that make you feel alive, grounded, or just more in control of your day.

    Think:

    • One goal for your body
    • One for your mind
    • One for your environment or lifestyle

    This keeps your daily habits intentional and your energy focused. You’re not doing less — you’re doing what actually counts.

    Step 3: Break It Down Into Tiny Habits

    Here’s where the magic happens. Take each goal and break it down into habits to change, track, and build on. You’re creating your own good habits list — one step at a time.

    Example:

    • Goal: Improve energy
      • Habit: Drink 2L of water
      • Habit: 10-min walk after lunch
      • Habit: Go to bed by 10:30

    These small actions are healthy habits ideas that build into momentum. It’s one of the best life tips and tricks I can give you: make your goals smaller and your wins more frequent.

    📌 Pin this for later! ⬇

    monthly goal setting

    Step 4: Add It to Your Routine

    A goal that isn’t scheduled is a wish. Whether you use a digital planner or go full DIY life with a wall calendar and highlighters, put your goals where you can see them.

    Link new habits to things you already do (aka habit stacking) and make them feel automatic.

    This is where habit trackers shine (pssst. I have a free one in my Resource Library). Watching your progress build?

    Chef’s kiss.

    This step turns your goals from “nice ideas” into good lifestyle habits that become part of your everyday routine.

    Step 5: Review & Adjust Weekly

    Each week, take 5 minutes to check in. What’s working? What’s not?

    Are you hitting your stride or silently avoiding that one goal you wrote down with good intentions but zero follow-through? (We’ve all been there.)

    Real change comes from course correction, not perfection. Keep it flexible. Keep it fun.

    Make it feel like you.

    Bonus: write yourself a quote or mantra each week that reflects how you want to feel. Stick it on your mirror or write it in your planner.

    That tiny note will make you feel seen, even on the messy days.

    Final Pep Talk

    Monthly goal setting doesn’t have to feel like a corporate planning session or a guilt-trip waiting to happen. It’s just a way to live your life with a little more intention — and a lot more joy.

    This 5-step method isn’t just a system — it’s a soft reset, a chance to align your healthy habits and routines with who you actually want to be.

    You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep showing up, one step at a time.

    Because you’re not starting over — you’re improving yourself, building good habits, and slowly creating the kind of life that feels right. The kind of life that helps you live your best life, without burning out.

    Your Monthly Self-Care Checklist: Small Habits That Make a Big Difference

    monthly self-care checklist

    Let’s get one thing straight: self-care isn’t all bubble baths and face masks (though we love those too). It’s about daily habits — small but mighty — that support your body, mind, and soul without adding more stress to your plate. This month, instead of waiting until you burn out and rage-cry over a lukewarm cuppa, let’s build a simple self-care checklist that actually fits your life.

    One that boosts your energy, clears your head, and reminds you that you matter too, even when the to-do list is screaming.

    Here’s your no-fluff, high-impact monthly self-care checklist, packed with realistic, joyful, and healthy habits that make you feel like the version of you who has her life together — even if you’re still winging it 90% of the time.

    Ready? Let’s do it.

    Table of Contents

    Physical Self-Care (For Your Body That’s Doing the Most)

    1. Drink your water, stretch your body, and eat a real meal

    Because basic doesn’t mean boring. Hydration, movement, and nutrition are the holy trinity of feeling better. Bonus: Add lemon to your water, light a candle while you stretch, and pretend you’re in a wellness montage.

    2. Go to bed earlier than you want to

    Scrolling till 1am isn’t giving what you think it is. Prioritise rest like it’s part of your glow-up routine — because it is. Want support? Pop some magnesium in your night routine.

    3. Do one form of joyful movement

    Not punishment. Not guilt-fuelled. Something that makes you feel alive — a walk, a dance, a mini stretch sesh. Check out my post here on how exercise and self-care go together.

    Mental Self-Care (For That Brain That Won’t Shut Up)

    4. Journal out your brain clutter

    No pressure. No perfection. Just dump your thoughts on paper. It’s free therapy.

    5. Do something low-stim

    Phones off, music low, book open. Or just sit. Breathe. Be. You’re allowed to do nothing.

    6. Use a daily habit tracker

    Because checking a little box gives you a nice little dopamine hit and is wildly satisfying — and helps you build consistency without the mental gymnastics. This one’s cute and functional: The Morning Sidekick Journal

    MONTHLY SELF-CARE CHECKLIST

    Emotional Self-Care (For That Soft Heart of Yours)

    7. Say no without overexplaining

    You are not a walking apology. Protect your peace and stop justifying your boundaries.

    8. Text a friend who makes you laugh-snort

    Connection is everything. Especially with people who love the messy, unfiltered version of you.

    9. Write yourself a note like you would to a mate

    Stick it on your mirror. Something like, “You’re doing better than you think.” Add a bit of ✨main character energy✨ to your space with a set of cute affirmation cards.

    Bonus: Aesthetic Self-Care (For The Vibe, Obviously)

    10. Romanticise the boring stuff

    Light a candle while you clean. Listen to a podcast while folding laundry. Add fruit to your water.
    It’s not about being fancy. It’s about making life feel less meh.

    Final Thought

    Self-care isn’t something you earn after you’ve done everything else. It’s the thing that helps you get through everything else without losing your mind.

    So print this checklist. Stick it in your journal. Screenshot it. Add your own spin. These aren’t just “nice extras” — they’re small habit changes that support your mental health, boost your energy, and help you create a more balanced lifestyle.

    This month, choose consistency over chaos. Choose tiny acts of love over all-or-nothing. Choose you — every damn day.

    “You don’t need a new life. You just need better daily habits.”

    1. Chug a big glass of water like your life depends on it

    Because hydration is an aesthetic lifestyle tip — glowy skin, better energy, fewer headaches? Yes please.

    2. Eat protein like a boss

    Add a solid 20–30g to your meals. It’s one of those sneaky good habits that helps with cravings, energy and actually feeling full.

    3. Move your body like it’s a privilege, not a punishment

    Walk, stretch, shake it out — whatever feels good. Not sure where to start? [Use this 4-Week Reset Workout Plan] to build a consistent movement routine that feels fun, not forced.

    4. Get some fresh air (yes, even if it’s raining)

    Open a window, step outside, pretend you’re in a moody indie film. It’ll clear your head instantly.

    5. Sleep like your sanity depends on it (spoiler: it does)

    Phones down, lights low. You’re not missing anything on TikTok past 10pm, trust me.

    6. Do five deep breaths and actually mean them

    One of the easiest ways to fix you when your brain feels fried. Inhale peace, exhale drama.

    7. Write down your top 3 priorities

    Not a 47-item to-do list. Just the 3 things that’ll actually move the needle today. That’s how you make habits stick.

    8. Put the phone down and pick your life up

    One of the best habits to improve your life? Being present. Your screen time stats will thank you.

    9. Sit in silence for 2 minutes

    Call it meditation, mindfulness, or “just sitting there doing nowt” — it’s a reset button for your brain.

    10. Read or listen to something that inspires you

    Whether it’s a juicy quote, a cheeky podcast, or a few pages of a book — this is self-development with style.

    11. Say something nice to yourself, out loud

    You wouldn’t talk to your friend like that — so stop being mean to yourself. Try: “I’m doing my best, and that’s enough.”

    12. Flip one negative thought on its head

    A proper life tip and trick: Reframe your inner critic. You’re not behind — you’re building.

    13. List 3 things you’re grateful for

    Yes, even on the bad days. Especially on the bad days. Gratitude is a quiet superpower.

    14. Laugh (or at least snort quietly at a meme)

    Laughter is good for the soul — and it’s cheaper than therapy.

    15. Connect with someone – properly

    Voice note, cuddle, text your friend, high-five your dog. You’re not meant to do life alone.

    17. Eat without your phone

    19. Do a quick 5-minute tidy

    A tiny shift in your space can totally transform your mood. A classic DIY life hack that works every time.

    21. Do one thing that future-you will high-five you for

    Walk instead of Uber. Send that email. Say no. Say yes. One small thing. That’s how making habits becomes your reality.

    Final Thoughts

    This isn’t a rigid routine. It’s a flexible, feel-good daily habits list you can tweak and play with.

    Autumn Self-Care: 7 Ways to Embrace the Season and Recharge

    OK, it’s officially autumn – the season of cosy jumpers, endless cups of tea, and that irresistible chill in the air. But let’s be honest, as lovely as it sounds, this time of year can also be exhausting. The days are shorter and darker, and if you’re not careful, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle and forget about you. So, before you find yourself running on empty, it’s time to talk Autumn self-care. Real, no-nonsense self-care that’ll help you recharge, not just survive.

    Grab your favourite blanket, make yourself a cuppa, and let’s dive into how you can embrace autumn for what it really is – the perfect time to slow down, reflect, and actually take care of yourself.

    Autumn Self-Care: 7 Ways to Embrace the Season and Recharge

    1. Create a Cosy, Calming Space

    First things first, if you don’t have a dedicated spot in your home where you can just breathe and chill, it’s time to make one.

    Autumn self-care is all about embracing that cosy feeling, and nothing says relaxation like a snug little nook just for you.

    Whether it’s a corner of your sofa, your bed piled high with pillows, or even a comfy chair by the window, set up a space that feels like a little escape.

    For me, I’ve got my go-to chair with a blanket and my adult colouring books (no shame, they are so calming).

    There’s something about having a designated spot that tells my brain, “Okay, this is my time now.”

    Pro tip: If you want to add a spooky twist to your cosy space this autumn, why not create a self-care Boo Basket? It’s a fun, seasonal way to treat yourself with all the self-care goodies you’ll need for some well-deserved me-time. Check out how to build your own Boo Basket here.

    2. Go Outside and Breathe (Yes, Even When It’s Cold)

    I get it – the idea of stepping outside when it’s cold and grey doesn’t sound appealing. But trust me, a bit of fresh air is like a reset button for your brain. Autumn is beautiful!

    The crisp air, the changing leaves – it’s the perfect time to reconnect with nature and yourself.

    Even if it’s just a 10-minute walk around the block or sitting in the garden with a hot drink, you’ll feel refreshed.

    It doesn’t have to be a full-on hike (unless that’s your thing), but a little time outdoors does wonders for your mood and energy.

    Pro tip: If you’re looking for more ways to soak in the autumn magic, I’ve got the ultimate fall bucket list for you! It’s packed with 31 cosy ideas to help you make the most of this beautiful season. Check it out here.

    3. Indulge in Some Seasonal Comfort Foods

    Now, when I say indulge, I mean enjoy food that nourishes your body and your soul. Autumn is the season of soups, stews, and all things warm and comforting.

    You don’t have to go full MasterChef – simple, wholesome meals are perfect for this time of year.

    I’ve recently been on a soup-making spree, and let me tell you, nothing beats coming in from the cold to a steaming bowl of homemade butternut squash soup.

    autumn self-care

    Easy, filling, and so satisfying.

    Pro tip: Try adding seasonal produce to your meals – think pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and apples. They’re all in season and packed with nutrients to keep you going through the colder months.

    4. Digital Detox (or At Least Try)

    Look, I know it’s hard. We’re all glued to our phones, scrolling through social media, but here’s the truth: all that constant connection?

    It’s draining.

    Autumn is the perfect time to slow down your mind and take a break from the noise.

    Even if it’s just for an hour a day, putting your phone away and being present can do wonders for your mental health.

    For me, it’s been all about reducing my screen time in the evenings. I’ve swapped endless scrolling for more mindful activities like colouring (seriously, it’s my new thing) and reading.

    It’s made such a difference in helping me wind down and sleep better.

    5. Pamper Yourself, Because Why Not?

    Autumn self-care doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference. Run yourself a bath, pop on a face mask, and let yourself relax.

    You don’t need a reason – just do it because you deserve to feel good.

    If you’ve got back pain like me (thanks, post-baby life!), take the time to stretch and give yourself a little TLC.

    I’ve been using a heated back massager for 15 minutes before bed, and it’s been a game-changer.

    Pro tip: If you’re looking for more ways to level up your pampering game, why not create your own self-care basket? It’s the perfect way to have all your cosy, feel-good essentials in one place, ready whenever you need a little TLC. Check out my guide on how to make the ultimate self-care basket here.

    6. Get Cosy with a Good Book (or a Comfort Show)

    Nothing says autumn quite like curling up with a good book or binge-watching your favourite comfort show.

    This is the season to embrace all things cosy, so don’t feel guilty about spending time on yourself.

    autumn self-care

    For me, it’s all about finding a good fantasy book that transports me to another world (bonus points if it’s got witches or magic).

    Some of my autumn faves include The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna (pure witchy goodness with heart), Weyward by Emilia Hart (all about powerful women and nature), and House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland (a bit eerie, but perfect for this time of year).

    If reading’s not your thing, go for a classic comfort show like Gilmore Girls or Buffy the Vampire Slayer – anything that makes you feel warm and cosy inside.

    If you’re loving the cosy autumn vibes, why not take it a step further and create a fall evening routine that helps you unwind after busy days? I’ve put together the ultimate fall evening routine that’ll make your nights extra comforting. You can check it out here.

    7. Practice Gratitude and Reflection

    Autumn is the perfect time to reflect on the year so far and think about what you’re grateful for.

    Grab a journal and take a few minutes each day to write down what you’re thankful for. It doesn’t have to be deep or profound – it could be as simple as “I’m grateful for a warm cup of tea.”

    It’s the act of noticing the little things that’ll shift your mindset and help you focus on the positives.

    For me, journaling has become such a calming practice. I love using it to get my thoughts out of my head and onto paper, especially when life feels overwhelming.

    It helps me feel grounded and reminds me of all the good things, even on tough days.

    Want to set a positive tone for your day, right from the start? Creating a fall morning routine can help you ease into your day with calm and intention. Check out my ultimate fall morning routine for cosy, productive mornings here.
