Eleanor Mackenzie’s path into the fitness world began during the lockdown when she was 21. She started sharing home workout videos online, creating a space where she and her followers could discuss fitness and health. With a background in Psychology and a master’s in Health Psychology, along with a personal training qualification, Eleanor understands the importance of holistic health and the connection between physical and mental well-being. Her approach is not just about physical transformation but about nurturing the mind and soul as well.
Discipline, for Eleanor, is more than just motivation; it’s about honoring commitments to oneself, even when motivation wanes. She believes that discipline is empowering because it means you’re in control. It’s about pushing through tough times to reach long-term goals. Eleanor emphasizes that discipline is a form of self-love, a way to unlock your full potential and achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. She acknowledges that there will be days when motivation is low, but it’s the commitment to push through these days that leads to real progress.
Eleanor has developed specific rituals and habits that contribute to her overall well-being and discipline. She starts her day with a to-do list, writing down everything to clear her thoughts and then reorganizing the list into priorities. She uses the MoSCoW framework to categorize tasks: what must be done today, what should be done, what could be done, and what probably won’t be done. This helps her allocate time based on priority and timeblock her day. She also emphasizes the importance of being realistic about what can be accomplished in a day to avoid setting oneself up for failure.
