Mindset

Therefore, EVERYTHING is on track for her to REACH HER GOAL and THEN SOME! And I'll say it one last time - with SEEMINGLY, little effort and stress attached to her health goals.

We also need to recognize that these habits are impacting not just our own DEEP HEALTH, but those around us. Everything from our social relationships, our community, businesses, groups/teams we interact with... They're all being impacted from our individual practices within our daily lifestyle routines.

THIS is how MOST of us are approaching health and wellbeing; like a child dealing with an authority figure.

Let me share some from my clients and experiences to continue to aim to help you see how, as always, our mind can be our biggest barrier or our biggest ally.

We're conditioned in our modern world to DO MORE, BE MORE, NEVER STOP IMPROVING YOURSELF. None of these things are bad, but as always, we've taken things to the extreme.

Committing to YOURSELF is an underrated, overlooked STRENGTH in our deep health and lifestyle goals

We feel "stuck" and create stories in our heads (eg: "it's just old age") when we are NOT willing to shift, change and adapt to the chapter in life that is in play right now.

The ONLY thing holding this woman back on these days, is her own mind and the stories going on in there

The fitness and health industry, as we know it has been around since the 1960's. Over those 6-decades WE have learned a TON about WHAT WORKS, WHAT DOESN'T WORK and the "Been there, done that" effect. THIS mentality DOES NOT SERVE US.

Want to stop "feeling old"??? There's your recipe.

THAT mindset, THAT approach to your every day lifestyle and all the "I can'ts" that you say to yourself internally and out loud - THEY are HOLDING YOU BACK from living a better quality life. PERIOD.

It's not uncommon in working with clients where despite the best intentions and sometimes efforts, they continue to be held back in their progress to healthier lifestyle habits. It's not unlucky or that they "are just not destined to be healthy". They're missing a major foundational pillar to human health and wellbeing: YOU need to SHOW UP for yourself, CONSISTENTLY. Not to brag, but my client roster is FULL of great humans. Many of them are AMAZING at putting EVERYONE and

This is part of my job as a Health & Wellness Coach. Sometimes we just need that neutral, unbiased ear to suggest something like, "Talk to him/her" and you'd be surprised what doors that can open for one's health.

We WILL walk beside our clients. We WILL support, encourage, educate and offer guidance. We DON'T make things happen. YOU DO! YOURSELF.

This part is often overlooked and even unknown to folks who are hurt. Managing an injury is equally as much mental health as it is physical. The mental stages of an injury run parallel with the stages of grief...

YOUR time and YOUR energy are IMPORTANT and neither are infinite. Practice and learn to PROTECT both of these elements. YOU deserve it.

The "ah-ha moment" that I just love, because it signals LEARNING, GROWING and CULTIVATING a root system or foundation within that only makes us more RESILIENT in this wild, wacky life adventure.

The problem is NOT in the age, but rather our mindset toward aging (especially in Western cultures). The NUMBER has MUCH less to do with how we feel, than does the LIFESTYLE we've chosen to live and the habits within that daily lifestyle.

I'm very interested and intrigued by Buddhism. "The study of the self". And boy do we need more of this in today's modern world in my opinion. Whether you're interested in Buddhism to any extent or not, I hope you'll continue reading this post.

Too often we are "pushing through" our day(s) for the sake of "looking strong" maybe? Or being seen as a "warrior" perhaps? Well, I hate to tell you - It doesn't work!
