"I Don’t Have Time for This" Mindset Shift
Mar 18, 2025
by Charles Marbes
If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t have time to focus on my health right now,” I get it.
Between work, family, responsibilities, and the never-ending to-do list, it feels like there’s no room left for YOU.
So you put it off.
You tell yourself you’ll start when things slow down.
You try to just "push through" and survive the busy season.
But here’s the thing—life is always going to be busy.
If you’re waiting for the "perfect time" to start, it’s never going to come.
The real solution?
Learning how to make your health fit into your life as it is now.
✅ 1. Shrink the Task, Not the Goal
You don’t need an hour-long workout or a meal prep marathon to see results. Instead of all-or-nothing, focus on bite-sized actions that fit into your day:
-
No time for a long workout?
-
Get in 10 minutes of movement or a quick walk. Something is always better than nothing.
-
-
No time to cook?
-
Make simple, real meals that don’t require hours in the kitchen.
-
A sheet pan dinner, slow cooker meal, or air fryer recipe can get food on the table fast without sacrificing flavor or satisfaction.
-
-
Too overwhelmed to track everything?
-
Just focus on one thing at a time. Hydration, protein, or movement. Pick one.
-
✅ 2. Give Yourself Permission to Make It Work for You
Not every season of life looks the same, and that’s okay.
What matters is finding a way to stay consistent, even in the busiest times.
-
Can you take short walks instead of a gym workout?
-
Can you simplify meals instead of stressing over "perfect eating"? Make family-friendly meals everyone enjoys, simply take a smaller portion, and fortify with greens when possible. Eat what the family eats—no separate meals needed.
-
Can you commit to small wins instead of waiting for the "right time"?
The women who succeed aren’t the ones who have more time.
