One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in the last year is to learn to be ADAPTABLE.
As a business student (and now business owner), I know adaptability goes hand-in-hand with sustainability whether it be markets, competitive advantage, etc.
Well, recently I’ve come to learn it’s just as important to be adaptable in life, particularly my health journey.
I’ve never been one to count calories, keep track of macros, protein, etc. But having a baby changed my body composition. What once worked for me, doesn’t work as well now.
So, I started counting calories, keeping track of my protein intake, experimenting with supplements and ensuring I eat greens throughout the day.
LET ME TELL YOU that made ALL the difference. I was at a plateau. My first 10-11 months postpartum I struggled to lose even 5 lbs. my body changed somewhat but the scale wouldn’t budge. I don’t go based off the scale usually, but it’s okay to within moderation. And I knew 5lbs was doable and should be a healthy amount to lose. So why wasn’t I losing it?!
I needed to adapt to my new body. I needed to adapt my mindset from my old way of doing things to trying something out of my comfort zone. And now I feel better than ever.
Adaptability should be a skill everyone gains for their life. It’s hard to push away your pride or ego or even just to alter your routine, but it will provide you with so many benefits and allow you to gain new knowledge!
