C.A.R.R.O.T. > Stick (Here’s Why)
Are you a C.A.R.R.O.T. or Stick person? 🥕
I think there’s value in both…
But only one deserves an acronym 😉
(And yes... this was also the perfect excuse to share my Crispy Rice Paper Rolls recipe inside Plant Positive 🧡)
🥕 C — Clarity
Clarity on what you’re looking to achieve… and Why it actually matters.
Not surface-level “I want to be healthier.”
More like:
- How do you want to feel daily?
- What changes if you follow through?
- What does “this working” look like in 3–6 months?
🧡 If the “why” doesn’t move you, it won’t move your behaviour.
🥕 A — Alignment
Alignment between that Why and your most important values.
I call this the, “Stop Fighting You” part of the process!
Ask yourself:
- Does this support the person I want to become?
- Or am I constantly negotiating with myself?
🧡 Alignment removes friction. Everything feels lighter.
🥕 R — Routines that support you.
This is where most people either overcomplicate… or give up too soon.
Think of this as experimentation, not perfection.
Your goal: build routines that feel:
✔️ Simple
✔️ Repeatable
✔️ Enjoyable (yes, really)
A simple framework to start:
Morning Routine (sets the tone for your day to come):
- Quality fuel → food and information
- A moment of stillness → mindfulness / gratitude
- Light movement → stretch, walk, sunlight
Evening Routine (sets the tone for your sleep to come):
- Wind-down buffer (60 mins device-free if possible)
- Something calming → reading, journaling, music
- Signal to your body: we’re done for the day
🧡 You don’t need a “perfect routine.”
You need one you’ll actually do on a Tuesday.
🥕 R — Rules that guide you.
This is where things get powerful.
Because structure = Freedom.
Rules remove decision fatigue. You decide once… and move on.
Important: These should be yours.
However here are some of mine as a starting point:
- Move daily → minimum 30-minute walk
- ½ your plate = fibrous veg (lunch + dinner)
- No processed carbs Mon–Fri (weekend flexibility 👌)
You could also add:
- 24 hour digital detox each weekend
- Screens off after a certain time each day
- 1 non-negotiable “reset habit” (walk, breath-work, etc.)
🧡 Rules aren’t restrictions.
They’re pre-made decisions that protect your energy.
🥕 O — Only focus on what you can control.
This one changes everything.
You can’t control:
- Outcomes / timelines
- Other people
- Perfect conditions
You can control:
- Your effort
- Your inputs / focus
- Your response
🧡 Peace comes from staying in your lane.
🥕 T — Treat your body like you’re on the same team.
Because… you are.
And it’s the only one you’ll ever get.
Two questions to come back to daily:
- Is this kind to future me?
- Does this allow me to go to bed proud?
🧡 Not perfect. Just proud.
Alright… I’ve love to know:
Are you more of a C.A.R.R.O.T. person or a Stick person?
And if you had to pick just ONE:
Which letter do you need to work on most right now?
