Progress over perfection in fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness
As an Enneagram 1, your unwavering commitment to self-improvement and growth fuels everything you do. In fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness, your deep sense of purpose and ability to reflect critically on your progress drive you toward excellence. But to truly unlock your potential, learning to balance those high expectations with self-compassion is essential. It's in that balance where you’ll create lasting, sustainable habits that not only push you forward but also serve your overall well-being for the long run.

By following the structured recipes from our Nourish collection, you’ll confidently fuel your body with nutrient-dense, balanced meals that align perfectly with your macros. This gives you the reassurance that every meal is contributing to your goals while satisfying your need for precision and control.

Challenges you may face
FITNESS
Your high standards and perfectionism can sometimes make your fitness journey more challenging than it needs to be. It’s easy to get frustrated when things don’t go exactly as planned, right? That all-or-nothing mindset can sneak up, making you feel like one missed workout or overindulging one day has completely derailed your progress. But here’s the truth, fitness is about consistency over time, embracing both the highs and lows. Through our Education Week and Mindful Monday series, you’ll gain the tools to release rigid thinking and embrace a more balanced approach.
📖 For additional support in shifting your mindset, check out our How to Use Psychology to Stop Sabotaging Your Wellness Journey blog, where you’ll find practical strategies to break free from perfectionism.
🎧 And for even more insights on breaking the self-sabotage cycle, listen to the podcast episode 6 Reasons You Are Self-Sabotaging and How to Stop the Cycle to stay on track and keep moving forward.
NUTRITION
Your perfectionism can sometimes make you second-guess whether you’re making the best food choices. You might find yourself stressing over whether your meals or supplements are “perfect.” And when things don’t feel just right, that high standard can lead to emotional eating or guilt. Even when you’re making great progress, this cycle of self-criticism can keep you from feeling confident in your nutrition.
🎧 The key here is finding balance and trusting your choices. The Mindful vs Mindless Eating podcast offers some helpful tips for staying present with your food choices and letting go of that guilt.
✔️ Another concern you might face is ensuring your supplements meet the highest standards. For example, you want to avoid protein powders that contain unnecessary fillers or salmon oil sourced from fish farms, which can compromise quality. You can feel confident with the BodyByBree Protein which is made with organic, clean, nutrient-dense ingredients to support muscle recovery without any of the extras your body doesn’t need and our Salmon Oil is sourced from wild-caught Alaskan Sockeye fish, ensuring you’re fueling your body with the best.
🎧 And since I know you’re curious about organic options, check out our Does Buying Organic Really Matter? podcast to dive deeper into whether it’s worth the investment. By focusing on mindfulness and high-quality nutrition, you can let go of the pressure to be perfect and feel confident about how you're fueling your body.
MINDFULNESS
Your high expectations can make it difficult to stay patient, especially when results don’t come as quickly as you’d like. This pressure to be perfect can lead to frustration and make it harder to give your body the grace it deserves. You might also find yourself being overly critical, holding your body to unrealistic standards and focusing on perceived flaws.
😊 During our bi-weekly check-ins, your BodyByBree coach will help you see the progress you might be overlooking, offering encouragement and support to keep you focused on how far you’ve come and ensure you're on the right path.
🧘♀️ To help let go of these harsh judgments, try Bree’s Detaching Your Worth from Your Body meditation, which encourages reconnection and appreciation for your body’s beauty.
🎧 If the number on the scale triggers self-criticism, listening to the Healing Your Relationship with the Scale podcast can help shift your mindset, finding peace in the process, not just the outcome. Embracing mindfulness will allow you to celebrate the positive aspects of your journey and give your body the kindness it deserves.
