Kate Galli: Thanks. So I’m a private coach, well being coach, writer, and fellow podcaster. And I assist individuals create the mindset that makes prioritizing their well being and happiness, easy, sustainable, and. enjoyable. Personally, I joined the gymnasium, turned obsessive about the gymnasium virtually three many years in the past now. And I did that as a method by which to remodel, sure, my physique, but in addition my confidence.
And I might say that’s one of many issues I really like most about what I do now. Nonetheless serving to individuals, sure, change their physique, but in addition have the self certainty and the arrogance after they understand that this can be a big change, they’ll make it as inside their management. So yeah, 20 years on as a private coach, three many years on as somebody obsessive about, with lifting weights.
That’s the place I’m now.
Ruth Soukup: I adore it. I adore it. And I really like what you mentioned too, as a result of I believe that. Is so true. Like it’s, it’s one factor to, you already know, I, I’ve accomplished a whole lot of companies during the last 15 years and I’ve helped individuals get organized. I’ve helped individuals handle their time. I assist individuals construct companies.
And this well being factor is there’s nothing prefer it as a result of nothing improves your confidence. Like.
And it’s, it’s wonderful. It actually is really the, like the good factor that I’ve ever had the chance to do, and also you’ve been doing it for lots longer than I’ve. So
Kate Galli: I’ve, it’s what, it’s what has stored me within the sport and likewise the abilities that you just study, the abilities that these purchasers study equally relevant to each different side of their life, what works properly for them in well being.
They’ll switch that throughout to enterprise, to relationships, to no matter they’re subsequent seeking to work on.
Ruth Soukup: Isn’t that so true? I at all times say mindset is it’s just like the gateway drug and it doesn’t matter the place you enter it and what a part of your life you enter it, it would apply to each different half. It’s just like the trickle down impact.
It’s so, so wonderful. So let’s discuss that a bit of bit extra. Like, the place do you begin while you’re working together with your purchasers to to assist them begin to make these kind of mindset shifts which might be going to assist them in the end get wholesome and attain no matter different targets they need to attain.
Kate Galli: Completely.
So this far in, I’m very used to the truth that individuals need to get actionable immediately. They need to know the very best meals to eat, the very best workout routines to work into their routine. They need all of the actions quick and I’ve received that for them. Nevertheless, greatest case situation, what we actually have to do is lay the inspiration to your future ongoing success.
And that’s the place it comes all the way down to Mindset and I’ve received six steps I’ll stroll individuals by, however a very powerful. And I like to interrupt that down into, I really like acronyms. So your why is what you’re seeking to obtain and the way it’s going to impression your supreme life. We have to get actually clear on that why and we have to construct big emotional depth.
into that why that’s going to be compelling on these wrestle road days that all of us get when the motivation wears a bit of bit skinny which is a few weeks in for most individuals in all probability round this time of 12 months or so and the second subsequent most necessary step is to align that why or extra so the actions they should take to realize the why with their most necessary values so for listeners who haven’t but elicited their values.
These are the emotional states that you just hunt down earlier than wherever else. So there’s no proper or fallacious, good or dangerous. You do should be trustworthy with your self. Have a look at the place you spend your time, power, and cash. So for me, my high two are freedom. And integrity, and we have to ensure that the actions my shopper must take to realize that compelling objective that they really feel like they’re congruent with or aligned with these values and never in battle with them, as a result of in the event that they’re in battle, they’re not going to do the Duke, they’re not going to make these greatest meals decisions, and so they’re not going to do this exercising motion.
It’s at all times going to be a continuing wrestle. Alternatively, Alternatively. And when you may have that alignment, proper, it’s simply straightforward to make the appropriate alternative. The choice making course of is eradicated.
Ruth Soukup: Yeah. Yeah. I imply, that, that’s so true, however like, do you discover, and what do you do when individuals come to you and say, I don’t, I don’t know what my why is, do you suppose that comes all the way down to resolution fatigue or as a result of they, there’s so many choices that they’ll’t determine it out or that they’re not being trustworthy with themselves?
Kate Galli: Yeah, this far on I might drill down into it rather a lot additional and I would want a compelling why earlier than I agreed to work with somebody as a result of in any other case they’re not going to get outcomes and that’s going to be irritating for everybody. And I discovered like too slowly however a few years in the past now that I can’t care extra about somebody’s objective than they do.
You already know, like my accountability is my half within the relationship and their accountability is the whole lot that they do. The 99 p.c of the time they aren’t with their pleasant private coach or a well being coach or whoever it is perhaps. So we might drill down into it much more. We’d discuss what the way in which that their life is correct now, what it’s costing them, the way it’s going to look in a month’s time, six months time, 12 months time, if nothing adjustments.
And truly there’s no establishment together with your well being. For those who’re not making enhancements, you’re really not simply staying the identical, you’re getting worse. And so once more, you’ve received to seek out out whether or not somebody’s extra compelled by ache or pleasure and each are actually good. However I might undoubtedly spend a while seeking to get some emotional depth round that.
Why? As a result of most of us don’t love the gymnasium. You already know, I really like the gymnasium, however most individuals don’t. Don’t, sure, that may be me, proper? One hundred percent. So that you want that emotional depth that’s going to pull your self to the gymnasium, you already know, three minimal days per week, even while you don’t really feel prefer it. Proper.
Ruth Soukup: Yeah.
Yeah. For me, it was having to get a coach and forcing myself to have the accountability and paying for it. I believe the, realizing that I had paid upfront for these coaching periods and that I used to be going to lose it. The ache of the shedding the cash was the factor that stored me, stored me going, however yeah, it’s.
You’re so
Kate Galli: proper. And once more, I in all probability discovered this too slowly as a result of it’s very unsexy, however accountability to assist somebody keep constant, you already know, consistency is a very powerful factor in, in weight reduction and health and all of it. You already know, it’s not the very best program or the tightest diet or the flashiest gymnasium coach garments, all of that.
It’s. Boring previous consistency and doubtless essentially the most excessive worth factor I can do. Once more, it’s not designing the very best exercises or consuming methods. It’s holding somebody accountable in order that they get to the gymnasium. Fairly often my purchasers really know what to do. Simply the appointment with the coach will get them really within the door and makes it extra, more practical, extra environment friendly, extra enjoyable, extra secure.
And in order that’s what it typically comes all the way down to.
Ruth Soukup: So it’s so true. And since I take into consideration that with my coach, I labored with him for 4 years. Now I lastly moved out to the nation and I created my very own gymnasium and I’ve sufficient, sufficient expertise to do it by myself. However I, he wasn’t like a tough ass, proper? He wasn’t like, he was not imply, by no means imply.
So like easygoing was not the like drive you sort of. Coach. And I don’t know what fashion of coach you might be, however he, he wasn’t like that, but it surely was actually for me, simply the truth that I had an appointment and I persist with my schedule. And in order that was like, that was simply my, that turned my routine. And that was the factor that, that stored me going.
And so I believe you’re so proper. Once you discuss. It’s a must to determine what motivates you. All people’s a bit of bit totally different. All people works a bit of bit in a different way, however a whole lot of instances it’s that like one little additional step that, you already know, works together with your mind and the way in which that you just work that may assist be the catalyst to vary.
After which what you mentioned too, is that it’s the consistency is so big. We expect now we have to make these massive, dramatic. Adjustments on a regular basis. And it’s actually not that massive targets don’t occur like that. It’s not this massive, large step. It’s the consistency and the, the, the small steps taken constantly over time that, that make all of the distinction.
I really like that.
Kate Galli: 100%. And if we take it again to aligning your targets together with your values, think about the one who comes and maybe they’re not like that compelled by their very own well being. Perhaps their, their husband or spouse has despatched them to the gymnasium or no matter it might be. If we get to the purpose the place we discover that their primary worth is perhaps household.
Proper, perhaps that’s the factor that’s most necessary to them. Then connecting, attaining that objective to their household goes to be supremely helpful in serving to them take the exercising and consuming actions they should take. Perhaps they don’t care sufficient about it for themselves, nevertheless they possible do for his or her companion, for his or her children, whoever it’s they love most on this planet, that’s possible sufficient incentive for them.
Ruth Soukup: I really like that. Do you suppose everybody has one thing?
Kate Galli: I’m an optimist. I believe they need to, proper? I don’t need to encounter the one who doesn’t care about something. I believe a whole lot of us in all probability have defenses. Numerous us have tried, tried and failed at one thing up to now. So we put our defenses up. Due to that concern of failure.
Lots of people with health particularly, you’ll know this. Lots of people, they, they don’t give it their all as a result of then they’ve received that little get out of jail card. I didn’t strive my all. So it’s at all times like sooner or later. Oh, however I may give it my the whole lot sooner or later. There’s at all times that hope sooner or later.
Nevertheless, proper now, for those who’re not the place you need to be together with your well being and your well being is. All you’ve received mainly nothing else issues for those who’re not wholesome, even when it’s, for those who’re not wholesome to your family members, in the event that they’re most necessary, you already know? So I believe lots of people have these defenses, these obstacles, this, you already know, name it secondary achieve that secret hidden profit that you just’re attending to get pleasure from by not giving your well being your all.
So it’s as much as a coach to assist them break by a few of these obstacles.
Ruth Soukup: I really like that. I really like that. That jogs my memory, I received this e mail this week from a shopper who was responding to an e mail and, and I already suppose my, to my podcast, we have been simply speaking about that earlier than we went stay that I recorded a podcast earlier this month that was.
That was speaking about my private targets for the 12 months. And he or she mentioned that she type of some years in the past went by the identical kind of epiphany and her brother was identified. I consider her brother was identified with most cancers or one thing, one thing dangerous. And he or she sort of had this second of going. What am I like?
What am I residing for? What am I doing? Proper. What am I doing? And if I solely had a 12 months to stay, I believe he was given like a brief period of time. If I solely had a 12 months to stay, am I residing my life the way in which that I need to be residing? And her first preliminary thought was, properly, if I solely had a 12 months to stay, I might eat what I need to eat and do what I need to do and never fear about, not fear about getting wholesome.
After which I believe her dad mentioned to her. However what when you’ve got 100 years? Like, what for those who stay until you’re 100? Is that this, do you need to really feel like crap till you’re 100? And that was sort of the second for her the place she went, Oh, I’m not taking good care of myself. I don’t really feel good. I don’t need to really feel like this.
After which that kind of began to attach. Like, sure, you need to stay for the second. You need to stay for now. But additionally you, you need to, you don’t need to set your self up for a failure 20 years from now, since you might, since you’ll should take care of the ramifications of that. And so it’s only a actually fascinating, what lastly connects with individuals it, to, to get that, to get, discover that why precisely such as you have been speaking about to seek out that, why, what’s the half that’s emotionally going to hit you?
Sufficient to truly make the change and it’s totally different. It’s totally different for everybody.
Kate Galli: Go dad. That’s a fantastic reframe.
Ruth Soukup: It’s, isn’t it? I do know. I really like that. I really like, love the dad and she or he ended up going and getting wholesome. She misplaced a bunch of weight and now she’s doing nice. And yeah, it was a, it was an superior e mail.
It was so good. So let’s return to resolution fatigue. You talked about that actually briefly and I need to sort of. I’m going to unpack that a bit of bit. So what’s resolution fatigue and why do you suppose we wrestle a lot with that in terms of well being and wellness?
Kate Galli: I imply, to begin with the lives we stay now are so totally different to what they have been many years in the past.
Personally, I’m like, I’m a fraction older than you. I believe I simply turned 48 just lately. I’m so grateful that I can bear in mind once we didn’t have cell, cellphones or the web, or, you already know, we needed to decide and keep it up. There weren’t actually limitless decisions and the way in which that there’s right this moment now from mainly from.
Infancy, we’re being bombarded with simply all these messages and promoting and nonstop decisions. And I believe many people are waking up now and realizing we have to set some actually agency boundaries to have the ability to cope for a begin, but in addition to have the ability to have the. And I believe it’s actually necessary that now we have the power to place into the issues that the issues within the individuals which might be most necessary to us and that’s a part of why I associated to what you shared together with your private journey as a result of or your targets for this coming 12 months as a result of a part of my big focus final 12 months was calm and readability as a result of I simply, I I at all times felt so frenzied and so forth and, and, you already know, the issues that assist us are sometimes the issues that maintain us again.
And I’m actually good at doing focus and head down, tail up,
Ruth Soukup: however you don’t
Kate Galli: want to love, typically you simply have to loosen up that focus a bit of bit, proper? Yeah. So it was humorous. I might begin, I began journaling final 12 months and I began every web page every day with calm and readability. And people two phrases, as a result of I used to be in search of what would get me calm and readability.
And humorous, right here’s, right here’s a shock. The journal was what introduced me calm and readability, proper? That point out, that writing down. So I believe to reply your query extra, it’s a matter for different individuals of discovering the issues, the boundaries that they’ll set in place to guard their clear ideas. Most of us, you already know, we, we don’t have simply considering time, you already know, the place we’re not doing, we’re considering the person who we need to be.
Once more, that’s the objective for me this 12 months, to focus extra on the particular person I’m being relatively than all of the frenzied doing, proper? We want each. Perhaps it’s a tremendous line. Perhaps we’ll each discover it this 12 months. Who is aware of? However I, I, I do suppose it comes again to boundaries. I additionally communicate rather a lot about self care. So it comes again to those self care habits that we implement earlier than we want them proactively which might be sort of non negotiables.
However it’s understanding what works for you and, you already know, being fairly militant with it, I might say, as a result of that is necessary.
Ruth Soukup: Yeah. Effectively, so what are you, a few of your healthcare habits that you’ve established in your life?
Kate Galli: Yeah so for enjoyable, as a result of as I shared, I I, I really like an acronym and I’ve a bit of self care acronym and we don’t should undergo all of it, however the first one within the acronym is S is for self discuss, proper?
The one particular person that you just get to spend 24 seven with. Is your self and your unconscious thoughts is listening to the whole lot you say and suppose, and so your self discuss, the way in which that you just communicate to your self is extremely necessary. And you’ll consciously change this, which I did perhaps 15 years in the past, I observed how judgmental I used to be in direction of different individuals and likewise in direction of myself, and it’s wonderful how judgment, like so many issues.
I mirrored again at you. And so I began consciously altering my self discuss and now it’s so significantly better. You already know, it’s actually, actually good. In order that’s, that’s primary. Quantity two, we’ll undergo not less than the primary three trigger they’re nice. A is for elicit your values. So we’ve lined that. I lead. And that’s our first step.
So what we’re going to do now’s, we’re going to place in an merchandise and we’re going to place it in a spot the place the shopper can select to place it in. We’re going to place it within the area, that now we have an choice to put it in and we’re So we’re going to place, we’re going to place two baggage of Adidas sneakers, and we’re going to place our or multiple bag.
What that bag does is that it locations an extra Layer of garments within the bag that has an extra
After which the final one is while you’re doing issues that aren’t aligned together with your values. So while you’re saying sure to issues that simply don’t align together with your values, one thing that’s very releasing and power giving is while you’re clear, you may have absolute readability on what’s most necessary to you and the particular person you need to be, and also you make selections accordingly.
Ruth Soukup: I really like that. How is that? Oh, true. And so onerous. It’s so onerous to do while you’re within the frenzy of life, proper? Simply making an attempt to maintain up, making an attempt to do all of the issues, making an attempt to be all of the, be all of the locations and, and also you don’t ever cease and say, what am I doing? What am I doing?
Kate Galli: You already know, even for those who create like 10 minutes, begin, you already know, begin actually manageable.
I bear in mind I used to goal for my hour of energy and I had this hour like completely blocked out with all of the issues I used to be going to do in that hour that have been tremendous helpful. After which like that’s daunting for most individuals, proper? Most individuals can discover 10 minutes, the clear thought, meditation, journaling, no matter it’s to quiet the noise and get clear on the person who they’re seeking to be.
Ruth Soukup: Yeah. It’s so true. It’s so true. Okay. In order that’s your E. What’s your L?

Ruth Soukup: You gotta, you gotta make it enjoyable. And simply the aligning the values too is such a, such an necessary piece of, of all of this.
It’s so core and so central, however how, like, how do you, how do you even begin the method of figuring out these values?
Kate Galli: I might get, I’m an enormous fan of an enormous sheet of paper and also you actually, you begin with itemizing out as many values. Perhaps it’s essential to take a look at an inventory. There are such a lot of lists on-line, proper? Simply Google values.
What are some values? And there are actually a whole lot from freedom, integrity, ardour. They’re my high three, however different individuals is perhaps alongside the traces of affection, connection, household, belief, no matter, enjoyable, no matter it might be, no proper or fallacious. In the event that they’re not flooding into your thoughts, Google an inventory and see what resonates and jot down as many as resonate with you after which slim it all the way down to your high three.
And you’ll go additional and, and sort of prioritize them to seek out out what’s primary. And you’d do this by saying, you already know, what’s extra necessary to me, freedom or household. Once more, no proper or fallacious, however which one comes first, and we will work each in, after all. However that’s how I might advocate that somebody who isn’t sort of, who, if the values factor are all a bit new, your life is working in accordance together with your values proper now, both successfully or not however that readability will let you make sure that it turns into efficient and simpler.
Ruth Soukup: Yeah. I really like that. So what do you say to the perfectionists on the market? Trigger I do know, I do know they exist. It’s the highest concern archetype is that perfectionist procrastinator archetype who’s so afraid of getting it fallacious or making the fallacious alternative and even going by that train looks like. Compelled to select the appropriate reply relatively than what’s actually aligned with their values.
How do you recover from that half?
Kate Galli: First off the appropriate reply. That’s not aligned shouldn’t be going to be efficient. It’s not going to work. You’re, you’re losing your time. Mainly in relation to the perfectionist, you already know, perfectionism is the proper excuse to do nothing. And so it’s actually, it’s not likely excessive requirements.
It’s actually low. So for those who’re not taking the steps that can get you the end result. And, you already know, again like many years in the past after I cherished artwork, I used to be in all probability a little bit of a perfectionist with my artwork. I wasn’t completely happy. It didn’t give me pleasure. That’s why I went to tremendous arts faculty and have become a private coach, you already know, as a result of it didn’t give me pleasure.
It. It sucked all the enjoyment out, actually. It wasn’t going to get me outcomes. And I used to be that perfectionist. And I believe in all probability it helps to fail a couple of instances, you already know, to strive onerous sufficient that, that you just fail, which I completely have. And to study that, you already know, once more, you’re simply studying from that failure. It’s not deadly.
It’s not sport over. You choose your self up and get going once more. And also you study that you just simply make a begin. And also you iterate with the knowledge that you just’re getting. None of us are ever going to get it excellent from the get go. It’s simply, it’s completely not potential. I believe my favourite artist again to artwork, Salvador Dali, who was like an absolute grasp used to say, don’t concern perfection.
You’ll by no means attain it. And his work was as excellent as anybody I’ve ever seen. Nevertheless, nobody goes to get there actually.

Nevertheless, if it’s not, then, you already know, worst case situation, what like, what’s it going to price you for those who give this technique a whirl and it’s one more factor that doesn’t be just right for you, nevertheless.
If this may very well be the free sport altering technique that does make well being and health easy, sustainable, and enjoyable. And that’s what I’m all about, proper? I’m a bit like, we’re on this physique for all times, you already know? I would like my purchasers to get to a match, sturdy, assured physique that they’ll rock round in ceaselessly as a result of that’s freedom.
And that’s my primary worth, you already know, so there’s no hurt in giving it a whirl. And for those who do give it a whirl, like give it your greatest effort as properly. Don’t maintain again.

So it’s not, you’re not preventing one another. Each resolution I make in relation to my diet and my train, it’s not about restriction with meals and self-discipline with train. It’s about abundance with meals. And it’s about, I get to with train. If now we have the time, the bodily capability, the, you already know, the cash doubtlessly to train, that’s valuable me time.
