Why You Know What to Do… But Still Don’t Do It (And How to Start Following Through)

APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I know exactly what to do—I just can’t get myself to do it,” this episode is for you.

Whether it's staying consistent with your workouts or eating habits it’s not about lack of information. There's a key reason WHY you never end up following through with what you INTEND to do each week. I'm breaking down how to overcome this so you can stop starting over every Monday and finally follow through.

Why You Know What To Do But Still Don't Do It (The Real Reason You Can’t Stick to Your Goals)

You start the week with the perfect plan. You’re motivated. You’re ready. But by mid-week? You’re exhausted. Off-track. Telling yourself “I’ll start fresh Monday.”

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone—and you’re not lazy, broken, or unmotivated. You’re likely stuck in the intention-behavior gap: the space between what you intend to do and what you actually do.

Most of my clients come to me knowing exactly how to lose fat or stay healthy. They don’t need more workouts or nutrition tips...they need a system that helps them follow through when life gets busy.

Why You Know What to Do… But Still Don’t Do It

In this episode, we’ll break down:

• Why more willpower isn’t the answer to long-term fat loss or consistency

• The 4 common blocks that keep you stuck in the “intention” phase:

  1. All-or-nothing thinking

  2. Emotional eating

  3. Environmental cues & routine gaps

  4. Lack of planning and belief in yourself

And most importantly...how to overcome these hurdles so that you can FINALLY start to follow through and take consistent action.

The truth is that you don't need more motivation or a Monday reset.

You need:

• Awareness of your personal triggers

• Tools that work in the moment (like If/Then planning and mental contrasting)

• Mindset shifts that help you ditch perfectionism

• Systems that align with the version of you you’re becoming—not just short-term outcomes

When you apply these tools, you close the gap between intention and action—and build consistency that lasts.
