Stop second guessing yourself.
Go do the thing, you know, that “thing” you have been wanting to do.
What’s holding you back?
Our minds are powerful, push aside those limiting beliefs.
Taking a risk is scary but remaining frozen in time is worse.
We all have moments of self doubt, uncertainty, this is normal but don’t allow it to hold you hostage. We are all a work in progress.
Believe in yourself.
You got this!
Have a great day!
In order to to make fitness a lifestyle or habit find a movement practice you like to do.
If you like to walk, walk. If you like to dance go ahead, dance. Fitness should be fun.
You don’t have to workout for an hour daily or push yourself so hard you are exhausted.
I am here to tell you shorter workouts, 10-30 minutes is just as effective.
Value rest, yes, include rest days in your routine.
I say it all the time, you are your biggest cheerleader. Don’t worry if you miss a workout, just jump right back into it.
Keep going.
Speak to your self with kind words. Yes, it matters.
Remember, Rome was not built in a day, be patient with yourself.
You are not only getting physically strong, but mentally as well.
Remember, moving your body is something you get to do, not something you have to do.
We are all a work in progress.
Be well.
We have at some time or another “chased” perfect. I know I have.
Everything has to be perfect. The perfect workout plan, the perfect diet, the perfect, you name it. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves?
Life has so many curve balls, you can have the “perfect” plan and then guess what, curve ball.
Constantly, focusing on the unattainable is not only exhausting but in the long run makes one stagnant and pushes progress and inner peace further and further away.
This year has definitely shown us how unpredictable life is. How quickly things change.
The key is learning how to pivot and face challenges that come our way. I am not saying having a plan or a guide is bad but balance and flexibility is needed. Maybe in your plan have an anti-plan, the what if, just in case plan.
Remember, perfect is what we have in our minds.
I like this popular quote, not sure who the author is,
” When you can’t control whats happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening. That’s where your power is”.
Be well.
I don’t typically share too much personal stuff online but I wanted to share this. This morning I woke up feeling off, just not myself. Not sure if it was anxiety, frustration or overwhelm or a combination of all three. At this point I decided to sit, relax and breathe. I allowed myself to feel all the feels.
I made myself a nice breakfast, I ate slowly and acknowledged all my senses. I gave myself some grace and about 2 hours later I moved my body in a restorative way. No crazy exercises just a gentle Pilates flow and it helped a lot.
There have been many studies showing that movement helps to improve moods. That saying movement heals definitely helped me today.
How has movement helped you?
I will share the flow in a few days on my You Tube channel so you will have it for when you are having one of those days.
Be well.
Whats holding you back? Is it doubt, fear, criticism? Sit with your thoughts/ feelings, figure it out . Grab a notebook and write, use this period for self discovery. Ask yourself the tough questions, re-discover yourself. Once you have accomplished this, release all the negativity, fear etc , let it go.
Believe in yourself , know you can accomplish anything you put your heart into. Yes, it will take hard work and planning and maybe some research depending on the circumstance, but just know you can do it. Yes, you can do it!
I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but I am hoping it resonates with you.
Feel free to comment and share your experience.
Stay safe and be well.
When it comes to our health and well being we each have the ability in ourselves to turn our health around. Forget about what happened yesterday, today is the day to take one step in the right direction for your health and well being. And I am not just talking about “health” pertaining to diet and exercise, but this also includes your mental health and emotional health as well as your association.
Take ownership of your health because no one can do it for you.
