Setting Realistic Goals and the Mindset Hack to Thrive through December

Navigating December: Setting Realistic Goals and Embracing Self-Care

In this week’s episode of The Nicola Graham Podcast, I’m here to encourage you not to quit and to manage your expectations, especially during the busy month of December. I talk about the importance of staying present and truly engaging with your surroundings.

I share personal stories about my dad, his marathon running, and his unwavering commitment to physical fitness as a tool for mental well-being. For me, these stories highlight why it’s so important to set realistic goals, maintain self-care, and prioritise health, even during the festive season.

Introducing you to key strategies for building sustainable health habits, discuss how mindset impacts transformation, and emphasise the power of community, particularly the amazing women’s community I’m part of. I wrap up the episode with practical advice on approaching the busy holiday season with a balanced perspective on fitness and overall well-being.

Join me as we discuss reframing our mindset, prioritising health, and truly living a thriving lifestyle.
