STORY TIME
Be Brave
We are so quick to tell ourselves that we can’t do something. Really, we’re normally the first ones to doubt ourselves, to convince ourselves that quitting is OK because we wouldn’t have been able to do it anyways and to just plain give up.
I want you to get brave and curious about your strength.

When I got hurt, I had two roads in front of me. The one where I doubted myself and my capabilities constantly or the one where I said Fuck it and just tried anyways. It doesn’t mean I didn’t fail, oh girl I have failed and in spectacular fashion, but I’ve tried.
Failing didn’t mean that I beat myself up about not being successful.
Failing meant I had the opportunity to see where my limitations lie and how I could get past it. It just showed me what edges could get expanded on and what I could change.
When I let go of those thoughts of failing, I could see my strength for where it was really at as well as where it could go. It made me curious to see where I could take things and where I could grow.
How strong are you REALLY? Have you ever even thought about it? If you stopped putting limitations on yourself, how strong could you become and what could you be truly capable of doing?
Make the Harder Change
Because it’s the sustainable one. It’s the one that takes longer to achieve but is going to last longer than the yo-yo changes you’re accustomed to trying.
The change I’m proposing you make is the harder one.
Because it’s the sustainable one. It’s the one that takes longer to achieve but is going to last longer than the yo-yo changes you’re accustomed to trying.
I get the appeal of the fast change. The instantaneous results. You want that fast result because you’ve taken so long to change that by now, you wanted that change like yesterday. You don’t want to take the time to make change that will last for the long term. It’s the “I just need to lose 15 pounds” but not thinking past what happens AFTER you lose 15 pounds.
What I teach is not the temporary, rigid, give up your whole life change just to drop a few pounds. It’s the change that will teach you how to effectively incorporate healthy habits into your life, so you feel like you have balance and you’re not deprived of the things you love 💗.
So you feel like you’re thriving and not surviving.
So you don’t make a drastic change just to lose it a year later when you permanently fall off the wagon, because you gave up too much and couldn’t take it.
Distraction Action
Here’s my Top 3 Tips for Shoving Your Distractions Aside so you can actually workout
How are those distractions for you today?
Cuz I feel like I’m being pulled in a million different directions. Seriously. Good luck getting time to workout 🏋️♀️ when every SINGL B E I N G in your space needs something from you. Right now.
I know you need some hardcore tunnel vision and focus to make your fitness game be fire 🔥, I also know that’s easier said than done. Especially when you’re now working from home and a school teacher 👩🏫.
Here’s my Top 3 Tips for Shoving Your Distractions Aside so you can actually workout:
Make sure your workout 🏋️♀️ is clear. There’s nothing worse than starting your workout and seeing all your kid’s clutter in front of your face. Take 5 minutes to clear it out or go somewhere else.
Schedule your workouts. In your calendar 📆. Like an appointment with your doctor. Then have a back up time in case shit hits the fan and your initial time doesn’t work.
Plan your workouts. Know what you’re doing before you even get started and have a back up plan in case shit hits the fan. There’s no bigger distractor then having the time to workout and spending 15 minutes figuring out wtf you’re actually gonna do.
