9 Steps I Took to Reinvent Myself in 6 Months
Have you ever felt like you're spinning your wheels in your fitness journey, not seeing the results you crave despite consistent effort? You're not alone. Olivia Jarvis, a popular social media influencer in the fitness space, recently shared her struggle and subsequent breakthrough in a popular video. After six years of consistent gym attendance without achieving her desired results, Olivia finally cracked the code to reinvention in just six months. Here's how she did it – and how you can, too.
Prioritize Your Health
Olivia realized she had been coasting and training regularly but without specific goals. "When I actually look back, like last year I coasted. I trained regularly, but I didn't really have any specific fitness goals," she admits in the video. She emphasizes the importance of making health a top priority, recognizing its impact on overall happiness and energy levels.
Consistency is Key
"I have followed the exact program for over eight weeks," Olivia shares in the video. She stresses the importance of consistently following a progressive program and doing the same exercises week after week to track progress effectively.
Action Over Overthinking
Olivia found herself caught in analysis paralysis. She advises in the video, "When you're constantly changing stuff, it is just so hard to gauge what's actually working." She recommends committing to a program and giving it time before making changes.
Commit to Reinvention
"I genuinely just got to a point where I just thought I don't like what I see in the mirror. I don't recognize myself," Olivia confesses. She emphasizes the importance of committing to change when you're not happy with how you feel or look.
Lift Heavy and Progressive Overload
A game-changer for Olivia was lifting heavier weights and focusing on progressive overload. "It's only when I've been literally overhead pressing like 16 kg up to 20 kg that I've actually seen physical changes in the shape and definition," she reveals in the video.
Daily Meditation
Olivia incorporated a 10-minute daily meditation into her routine. "I can't even begin to explain how much calmer and how much more I get done in a day," she says in the video, noting improvements in concentration and reduced overthinking.

Set a Bedtime Before a Morning Alarm
"For years, I spent so long setting a 6:00 AM alarm, and then I'd be in bed at midnight and always be so tired," Olivia admits in the video. She found that setting a consistent bedtime before focusing on wake-up time significantly improved her sleep quality and morning routine.
