Leveraging the Power of Habits with Christian Corley Anderson, Be Free Fitness

Are you one of those people who wants to change the world?

Some of us fail miserably in fulfilling our highly ambitious resolutions in life.

As the initial upsurge of enthusiasm that causes us to chase the most challenging of things dies out, we're left with multiple excuses not to push past hurdles and remain in the 'state of comfort' that we've always been in.

You may feel that the problem is you are not trying hard enough. But it isn't. It's not you; it's not that you're not fighting; it's your goal setting that's at fault.

And just as every other problem in life has a remedy, there's one for this too… and it's setting intentional habits.

Today, join me in an incredible conversation with Christian Corley Anderson on the She Turned Entrepreneur Podcast about using habits to power your dreams. Christian is the Owner-Operator at Be Free Fitness. She's a people person who dedicates her time to helping individuals grow, both in life and at work.

In a candid conversation, Christian takes us through her beautiful journey of getting over body health and image issues by moving in small steps to get healthy. She also shares her process of overcoming obstacles using the power of self-motivation, habits, and consistency.

So, if you're someone who believes in aiming for the most challenging goals, this episode will teach you the power of moving in small steps and how they snowball over time to help you discover your true purpose.
