Kate Galli: Thanks. So I’m a private coach, well being coach, creator, and fellow podcaster. And I assist folks create the mindset that makes prioritizing their well being and happiness, easy, sustainable, and. enjoyable. Personally, I joined the gymnasium, grew to become obsessive about the gymnasium nearly 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 like most about what I do now. Nonetheless serving to folks, sure, change their physique, but in addition have the self certainty and the boldness after they notice that it is a big change, they’ll make it as inside their management. So yeah, twenty 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 find it irresistible. I find it irresistible. And I like what you mentioned too, as a result of I feel that. Is so true. Like it’s, it’s one factor to, you already know, I, I’ve finished a whole lot of companies over the past 15 years and I’ve helped folks get organized. I’ve helped folks handle their time. I assist folks 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 superb. It actually is actually the, like the best 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 saved me within the recreation and in addition the talents that you simply be taught, the talents that these shoppers be taught equally relevant to each different side of their life, what works properly for them in well being.
They will switch that throughout to enterprise, to relationships, to no matter they’re subsequent trying to work on.
Ruth Soukup: Isn’t that so true? I all the time 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 superb. So let’s speak about that a bit bit extra. Like, the place do you begin while you’re working along with your shoppers to to assist them begin to make these type of mindset shifts which might be going to assist them finally get wholesome and attain no matter different objectives they wish to attain.
Kate Galli: Completely.
So this far in, I’m very used to the truth that folks wish to get actionable right away. They wish to know the very best meals to eat, the very best workouts to work into their routine. They need all of the actions quick and I’ve acquired that for them. Nevertheless, finest case state of affairs, what we actually have to do is lay the muse in your future ongoing success.
And that’s the place it comes right down to Mindset and I’ve acquired six steps I’ll stroll folks by, however crucial. And I like to interrupt that down into, I like acronyms. So your why is what you’re trying to obtain and the way it’s going to impression your splendid 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 battle road days that all of us get when the motivation wears a bit bit skinny which is a few weeks in for most individuals most likely round this time of 12 months or so and the second subsequent most vital step is to align that why or extra so the actions they should take to attain the why with their most vital values so for listeners who haven’t but elicited their values.
These are the emotional states that you simply search out earlier than anyplace else. So there’s no proper or incorrect, good or dangerous. You do need to be trustworthy with your self. Have a look at the place you spend your time, vitality, and cash. So for me, my prime two are freedom. And integrity, and we have to ensure that the actions my consumer must take to attain 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 finest meals decisions, and so they’re not going to do this exercising motion.
It’s all the time going to be a continuing battle. Alternatively, Alternatively. And when you’ve 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 folks come to you and say, I don’t, I don’t know what my why is, do you assume that comes right down to determination 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 quite a bit additional and I would wish 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 realized 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 recognize, like my duty is my half within the relationship and their duty is the whole lot that they do. The 99 % of the time they aren’t with their pleasant private coach or a well being coach or whoever it is perhaps. So we’d drill down into it much more. We’d speak about what the best way that their life is true 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 modifications.
And really there’s no established order along with your well being. If you happen to’re not making enhancements, you’re really not simply staying the identical, you’re getting worse. And so once more, you’ve acquired to seek out out whether or not somebody’s extra compelled by ache or pleasure and each are actually good. However I might positively spend a while trying to get some emotional depth round that.
Why? As a result of most of us don’t love the gymnasium. You recognize, I like the gymnasium, however most individuals don’t. Don’t, sure, that might be me, proper? 100%. 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 feel the, understanding that I had paid upfront for these coaching classes and that I used to be going to lose it. The ache of the dropping the cash was the factor that saved me, saved me going, however yeah, it’s.
You’re so
Kate Galli: proper. And once more, I most likely realized this too slowly as a result of it’s very unsexy, however accountability to assist somebody keep constant, you already know, consistency is crucial factor in, in weight reduction and health and all of it. You recognize, it’s not the very best program or the tightest diet or the flashiest gymnasium coach garments, all of that.
It’s. Boring outdated 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 shoppers really know what to do. Simply the appointment with the coach will get them really within the door and makes it extra, simpler, extra environment friendly, extra enjoyable, extra protected.
And in order that’s what it usually comes right 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 abilities to do it alone. 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 model of coach you’re, however he, he wasn’t like that, nevertheless it 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 grew to become my routine. And that was the factor that, that saved me going.
And so I feel you’re so proper. If you speak about. It’s important to determine what motivates you. All people’s a bit bit totally different. All people works a bit bit in another way, however a whole lot of instances it’s that like one little additional step that, you already know, works along with your mind and the best way that you simply work that may assist be the catalyst to alter.
After which what you mentioned too, is that it’s the consistency is so big. We predict we have now to make these massive, dramatic. Adjustments on a regular basis. And it’s actually not that massive objectives don’t occur like that. It’s not this massive, big step. It’s the consistency and the, the, the small steps taken constantly over time that, that make all of the distinction.
I like that.
Kate Galli: 100%. And if we take it again to aligning your objectives along 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 possibly household.
Proper, possibly that’s the factor that’s most vital to them. Then connecting, attaining that objective to their household goes to be supremely useful in serving to them take the exercising and consuming actions they should take. Perhaps they don’t care sufficient about it for themselves, nonetheless they probably do for his or her companion, for his or her children, whoever it’s they love most on this planet, that’s probably sufficient incentive for them.
Ruth Soukup: I like that. Do you assume everybody has one thing?
Kate Galli: I’m an optimist. I feel they have to, proper? I don’t wish to encounter the one who doesn’t care about something. I feel a whole lot of us most likely have defenses. A whole lot of us have tried, tried and failed at one thing previously. 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 acquired that little get out of jail card. I didn’t attempt my all. So it’s all the time like sooner or later. Oh, however I can provide it my the whole lot sooner or later. There’s all the time that hope sooner or later.
Nevertheless, proper now, when you’re not the place you wish to be along with your well being and your well being is. All you’ve acquired principally nothing else issues when you’re not wholesome, even when it’s, when you’re not wholesome in your family members, in the event that they’re most vital, you already know? So I feel lots of people have these defenses, these obstacles, this, you already know, name it secondary achieve that secret hidden profit that you simply’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 like that. I like that. That jogs my memory, I acquired this e mail this week from a consumer who was responding to an e mail and, and I already assume 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 objectives for the 12 months. And he or she mentioned that she variety of some years in the past went by the identical type of epiphany and her brother was recognized. I consider her brother was recognized 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 feel he was given like a brief period of time. If I solely had a 12 months to stay, am I residing my life the best way that I wish to be residing? And her first preliminary thought was, properly, if I solely had a 12 months to stay, I might eat what I wish to eat and do what I wish to do and never fear about, not fear about getting wholesome.
After which I feel her dad mentioned to her. However what in case you have 100 years? Like, what when you stay until you’re 100? Is that this, do you wish 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 wish to really feel like this.
After which that type of began to attach. Like, sure, you wish to stay for the second. You wish to stay for now. But in addition you, you wish to, you don’t wish to set your self up for a failure 20 years from now, since you may, since you’ll need to cope with the ramifications of that. And so it’s only a actually fascinating, what lastly connects with folks 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 really make the change and it’s totally different. It’s totally different for everybody.
Kate Galli: Go dad. That’s an important reframe.
Ruth Soukup: It’s, isn’t it? I do know. I like that. I like, love the dad and he or she 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 determination fatigue. You talked about that actually briefly and I wish to sort of. I’m going to unpack that a bit bit. So what’s determination fatigue and why do you assume we battle 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 feel I simply turned 48 not too long ago. I’m so grateful that I can keep in mind once we didn’t have cell, cell phones or the web, or, you already know, we needed to decide and keep it up. There weren’t actually limitless decisions and the best way that there’s as we speak now from principally from.
Infancy, we’re being bombarded with simply all these messages and promoting and nonstop decisions. And I feel 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 feel it’s actually vital that we have now the vitality to place into the issues that the issues within the folks which might be most vital to us and that’s a part of why I associated to what you shared along with your private journey as a result of or your objectives 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 all the time 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 chill out that focus a bit 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 feel to reply your query extra, it’s a matter for different folks 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 individual that we wish to be.
Once more, that’s the objective for me this 12 months, to focus extra on the particular person I’m being fairly than all of the frenzied doing, proper? We’d like each. Perhaps it’s a nice line. Perhaps we’ll each discover it this 12 months. Who is aware of? However I, I, I do assume it comes again to boundaries. I additionally converse quite a bit about self care. So it comes again to those self care habits that we implement earlier than we’d like 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 vital.
Ruth Soukup: Yeah. Nicely, 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 like an acronym and I’ve a bit self care acronym and we don’t need to undergo all of it, however the first one within the acronym is S is for self speak, proper?
The one particular person that you simply get to spend 24 seven with. Is your self and your unconscious thoughts is listening to the whole lot you say and assume, and so your self speak, the best way that you simply converse to your self is extremely vital.

I mirrored again at you. And so I began consciously altering my self speak and now it’s so a lot better. You recognize, 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 coated that. I lead. And that’s our first step.

Kate Galli: I might get, I’m a giant fan of an enormous sheet of paper and also you actually, you begin with itemizing out as many values. Perhaps it’s worthwhile to take a look at a listing. There are such a lot of lists on-line, proper? Simply Google values.
What are some values? And there are actually a whole bunch from freedom, integrity, ardour. They’re my prime three, however different folks is perhaps alongside the traces of affection, connection, household, belief, no matter, enjoyable, no matter it might be, no proper or incorrect. In the event that they’re not flooding into your thoughts, Google a listing and see what resonates and jot down as many as resonate with you after which slim it right down to your prime three.
And you’ll go additional and, and sort of prioritize them to seek out out what’s primary. And you’d try this by saying, you already know, what’s extra vital to me, freedom or household. Once more, no proper or incorrect, however which one comes first, and we will work each in, after all. However that’s how I might suggest that somebody who isn’t sort of, who, if the values factor are all a bit new, your life is working in accordance along 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 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 incorrect or making the incorrect alternative and even going by that train seems like. Compelled to select the appropriate reply fairly 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 isn’t 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 right excuse to do nothing. And so it’s actually, it’s probably not excessive requirements.
It’s actually low. So when you’re not taking the steps that may get you the outcome. And, you already know, again like many years in the past once I liked artwork, I used to be most likely a little bit of a perfectionist with my artwork. I wasn’t completely satisfied. It didn’t give me pleasure. That’s why I went to nice arts school 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 feel most likely it helps to fail just a few instances, you already know, to attempt exhausting sufficient that, that you simply fail, which I completely have. And to be taught that, you already know, once more, you’re simply studying from that failure. It’s not deadly.
It’s not recreation over. You choose your self up and get going once more. And also you be taught that you simply simply make a begin. And also you iterate with the knowledge that you simply’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 feel 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.

If this might be the free recreation 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 need my shoppers to get to a match, sturdy, assured physique that they’ll rock round in ceaselessly as a result of that’s freedom.
