The Priority Story: Why the Magic You’re Looking For Is Hidden in the Work You’re Avoiding
By Simran Kaur | Fitness & Nutrition Coach
Introduction: The Real Reason You Think You Don’t Have Time
“The magic you’re looking for is in the work you’re avoiding.”
If you’ve ever said —
“Simran, I don’t have time for the gym…”
“Simran, my job is 10 hours…”
“Simran, I have kids, home, responsibilities… I can’t manage…”
Please know, you’re not alone.
I hear these words every single day, and I understand them deeply — because I once lived the same story.
There was a phase in my life when I believed fitness needed extra time, perfect days, or a quiet mind.
But life taught me something very different…
The Truth: Fitness Doesn’t Need More Time — It Needs Priority
After my second baby, I wasn’t just tired —
I was lost.
Postpartum depression clouded every thought.
My body felt heavy, my mind felt stuck, and then came the shocker:
early arthritis symptoms.
The doctor said:
- “Don’t run.”
- “Don’t sit on the floor.”
- “Avoid stairs.”
- “Avoid long walks.”
And for the first time, I got scared.
Not of the pain… but of the life I was heading toward.
That was my turning point — my “enough is enough” moment.
I realized something powerful:
Fitness doesn’t demand extra hours.
It demands a decision.
A decision to prioritize yourself.
My Journey: Starting Small, Staying Consistent
I didn’t overhaul my life overnight.
I didn’t become a superhero mom.
I simply decided that my health would no longer be optional.
So I began small:
✔ 30 Minutes Before the Kids Woke Up
Not perfect workouts—just movement.
✔ Simple Meals, Planned Instead of Guessed
Food that nourished me, not overwhelmed me.
✔ Steps During Work or Home Breaks
Because every step mattered.
✔ Strength Training a Few Days a Week
Slowly building strength I thought I lost forever.
✔ Imperfect but Consistent Efforts
Because perfection is a trap; consistency is freedom.
And slowly… the “no time” story lost its power.
Why “No Time” Is a Story You’re Telling Yourself
If you’re juggling kids, work, home, responsibilities — trust me:
You don’t need more hours in a day.
You need one decision.
A decision that:
- Your health matters.
- You deserve to feel strong, not restricted.
- Your body deserves love, not postponement.
- Your future self deserves better than excuses.
Because once you make health a priority, time adjusts automatically.
How You Can Start Today — Without Overhauling Your Life
1. Start With 20–30 Minutes a Day
Not for results — but to build a habit.
2. Replace Guessing With Planning
Prepare simple meals, track steps, and keep hydration on point.
3. Choose Strength Training 2–3 Times a Week
This is LIFE-CHANGING for women, especially postpartum.
4. Be Consistent, Not Perfect
Progress comes from daily action, not flawless effort.
5. Remind Yourself: You Are Not Being Selfish
A healthier you is a stronger mom, stronger woman, stronger human.
Final Message: You Don’t Have to Start Big — You Just Have to Start
If you are overwhelmed with responsibilities, please remember:
You don’t need more time.
You need a decision.
A decision that you will no longer put yourself last.
A decision to show your kids what strength looks like.
A decision to become your own hero.
Start today — imperfectly, gently, but firmly.
Because once you make it a priority,
time will follow.
Begin now. #mainhuna
