Once school starts, we see the same thing:
Parents and grandparents come off a summer of family time, travel, and looser routines.
Then, in the span of one week, the calendar fills up—and suddenly there’s no obvious place to fit in a workout.
The problem usually isn’t motivation.
It’s the schedule.
Most people try to hold onto the routine that worked during the summer, then blame themselves when it no longer fits. The routine that worked for your summer may not work for your school year and that’s okay.
The solution isn’t more willpower.
It’s creating a new routine that fits the season of life you’re actually in.
New season.
New schedule.
New rhythm.
You don’t have to start over. You just have to adjust.
