It’s not a lack of willpower, motivation, or discipline. It’s a lack of alignment.I’ll walk you through how your values and daily actions can quietly pull you off track, how this disconnect triggers self-sabotage, and what it looks like when you finally start living in alignment with your goals.Because fat loss isn’t just physical — it’s deeply personal. And when your mind and body are finally on the same page, results stop feeling so hard.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) – Intro: Why You Know What to Do but Can’t Do It(01:13) – What Self-Sabotage Really Looks Like(02:50) – Success Doesn’t Equal Fulfillment(05:10) – The Real Root of Self-Sabotage: Misalignment*(07:28) – How Values & Virtues Shape Motivation(11:24) – Connecting Your Habits to What Actually Matters(16:44) – Why We Self-Sabotage When Chasing “Freedom”(21:19) – How to Align Goals with Your Purpose & Stop Starting Over(24:52) – Final Thoughts: Clarity Ends Self-SabotageCONNECT WITH ME ONLINE:‣ Book a COMPLEMENTARY CONSULATION and CALORIE CALCULATION call:- how much you should eat🍴- what you should eat 🌮- exercise adjustments🏋🏽‍♀️- lifestyle recommendations🚶‍♀️- specific resources to support you on your journey📕https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‣ Check out our BRAND NEW workout subscription: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.trainerize.me/profile/vitalityoet/?planGUID=b020a7cf27f6453b9d29ca3dc9bbaf37&mode=checkout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‣ Join our community!
