What's holding you back?]]></title><description><![CDATA[For busy leaders and executives, the pursuit of better health often lives in the future—something to “get to” once the next deal closes, the next quarter ends, or the calendar finally clears.  On the surface, the hesitation to act often presents as a fear of failure. I’d really love to make some changes but I’m already super busy.  What if I commit to this routine and it doesn’t work? What if I can’t sustain it?  At the moment I’m frustrated that it’s not happening but if I give it more focus...]]></description><link>https://www.the-tonic.com/post/fear-of-failure-or-fear-of-success-what-s-holding-you-back</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fb0cb69fa0baa4b8b64804</guid><category><![CDATA[Recent Updates]]></category><category><![CDATA[Be Your Own Life Coach]]></category><category><![CDATA[Exercise & Fitness]]></category><category><![CDATA[Healthy Eating]]></category><category><![CDATA[Resilience]]></category><category><![CDATA[Sleep]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 09:52:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_d9c251da9e9b4c65b7fb2a72af3471c7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tonic365</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline or desire?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Which works best for high performing individuals?  I hear people say it a lot.  ‘I just need to be disciplined. Then I’ll get the results I want.’  I don’t agree.  To me, discipline doesn’t sound much fun.  In fact, it sounds like quite a lot of effort.  Which means that sometimes you’ll have the energy to be disciplined, but sometimes you probably won’t.  Usually, anything that’s isn’t fun, requires a lot of effort and is dependent on the mood of the moment, doesn’t lead to sustainable...]]></description><link>https://www.the-tonic.com/post/discipline-or-desire</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69de46d466c8cbf1f4c107cd</guid><category><![CDATA[Recent Updates]]></category><category><![CDATA[Be Your Own Life Coach]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:58:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_4e534b50374777615f4930~mv2_d_3868_5802_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Tonic365</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go big or go home]]></title><description><![CDATA[Or maybe don’t.  Or if you're tempted to, think about this first... What if slow and steady is a better approach for long-term health, energy and high performance? When it comes to improving health, wellness, or personal performance, people often fall into two camps. The “go big or go home” school of thought is built on intensity and urgency. It’s the all-in approach—strict diets, aggressive workout plans, early mornings, and pushing limits. More is always better.

My immediate reaction though was to point out that hope is not a strategy that should be relied on for anything important in life.
