🌿 Health Coaching Roadmap: 6 Steps to Sustainable Change
1. 🧭 Clarify Your Vision
Prompt:
“What does optimal health look and feel like for me?”
Is it more energy? Better digestion? Less anxiety? Stronger body?
Get specific: how would your day feel different if you were thriving?
📝 Write 3–5 sentences describing your ideal state of health — in present tense, like it’s already happening.
2. 🎯 Set Your Focus Area
Pick one main area to work on (for now). Examples:
Sleep & recovery
Gut health or digestion
Movement / strength
Stress reduction / mindset
Nutrition
Hormone balance
Ask yourself:
“What’s the one area that, if it improved, would make everything else easier?”
3. 🪜 Break It Into Micro-Goals (Stackable Wins)
Use this formula:
“I will [tiny habit] after I [anchor habit].”
Examples:
“I will drink a glass of water after brushing my teeth.”
“I will stretch for 3 minutes after logging off work.”
“I will prep lunch on Sundays while watching Netflix.”
These micro-goals help build momentum without burnout.
4. ⏳ Track Progress (Not Perfection)
Keep it light and simple. You could:
Use a habit tracker app or journal
Reflect weekly: “What worked? What didn’t? What needs tweaking?”
Celebrate small wins (seriously — it wires your brain to keep going)
5. 🔄 Overcome Roadblocks (With Curiosity, Not Shame)
When you hit a bump (you will!), ask:
What got in the way? (Stress? Timing? Motivation?)
How can I adjust? (Make it smaller? Change the time of day?)
What support would help right now?
Coaches focus on problem-solving, not judgment — do the same with yourself.
6. 🧘♀️ Build in Reflection & Realignment
Once a month (or even weekly), check in:
“Am I feeling more aligned with my vision?”
“What’s something that surprised me in a good way?”
“What do I want to keep, tweak, or release?”
