Workshop: How to Get Motivated for Healthy Living and Weight Loss

Everyone who has ever tried to get healthy or lose weight can relate to this story:

You start out super motivated. You’re focused, excited, and energized by the process.

Then, slowly but surely, the passion starts to dip. Distractions creep in. And soon, you’re back to where you started.

If that’s where you are right now—relying on white-knuckle willpower—we can help!

During our upcoming workshop, we’ll lead you through a step-by-step process to:

• Identify what you truly value in life
• Align your health goals with these motivating priorities
• Empower you to repeatedly tap into these deep pools of inspiration
• Make healthy living feel more natural and sustainable

Long-term health and weight loss don’t come from a carrots-and-sticks approach (although a few carrots never hurt).
