Once again, we want to find our BALANCE. A little searching and busy-ness, paired with a little action (on ourselves) and slowing down for a bit will have you feeling drastically different in your energy levels and wellbeing.

Your individual existence is a near-miraculous event, occurring against "stupendous odds,"...

SLOWING DOWN and SAYING "NO" is NEVER a bad thing when it's for YOUR HEALTH. We ALL need to practice this FACT more.

A week into the challenge, I noticed she had marked NOTHING. Again, it's totally optional, but I found this odd for HER.

Leaving "cracks in the foundation" is practiced CONSTANTLY in our modern society, because we all just want to be "THERE". At the goal. At the end point, where we think "everything will be great".

Slowing down, especially during busy times like the holidays, is a STRENGTH that will feel SO GOOD you can only understand by EXPERIENCING IT FOR YOURSELF.

The change YOU need to make in this case, in order to get MORE movement in CONSISTENTLY during busy times (and non-busy times alike) is to do the following things, that come from your MINDSET....

Beginning to practice one or two of these will help give you TWO things NOW: 1) You WON'T keep practicing putting yourself and your wellbeing off for "later". 2) It will help you more easily reach for SIMPLE and DO-ABLE practices instead of TOO BIG TOO SOON.

We "should" be striving for something. Wait... Isn't "striving for something" another way of saying "making progress"? Isn't "making progress" still moving forward? ... I KNOW it is! And moving forward is creating positive change!

We are in an EPIDEMIC of "BUSY" that is negatively impacting our deep health. Period.

Mel Robbin's shared this quote; "You'll never feel ready because ready isn't a feeling - It's a decision." Clients and I have this conversation often when they're waiting until "next week" to "get back to their routine" or waiting until things "calm down" before they're ready to make a change. The "perfect" time to start/do something WILL NOT happen!! You will be MORE ready once you START vs when you're "waiting to be ready". This is common in health and wellness. Here's m

Yesterday, the day after our first snow storm of the season, I was out enjoying the "loud silence" of the woods. I was on what I called a "Reconnaisance Mission". That's the way I framed it in my head. It made it fun! I hadn't slept great the night before (just ok). Between that and the mess outside, I wasn't sure a run would be able to happen. After my morning client sessions I thought, "I'm going to get my boots on and do a 'reconnaisance mission' of sorts, to see if I

A follow up to my original small pushup habit post last month

We need to LEARN how to BALANCE our incredible technologies and opportunities today that available to us, with MOTHER NATURE (our physiology) to PROMOTE rather than PUMMEL our deep health.

We HAVE EVERY ABILITY to GET OUT OF OUR OWN WAY, SLOW DOWN and EXPERIENCE LIFE. And it's more NECESSARY with every passing day in North American society. It truly is an EPIDEMIC in my opinion.

It's a post to remind us that sometimes OUR OWN CHOICES can add stress to our days; when we CAN CHOOSE another option. We have the CHOICE to change it . We CAN control it. The question is; How often DO WE?

Ok, let's get right to this... Disclaimer: You don't "have" to do pushups. You don't "have" to do this number. Read on to see what 'Coach D' is going on about now 😂 The point of sharing this post is to REITERATE the absolute AWESOMENESS of "Tiny Habits" (as BJ Fogg calls them) or using the approach of Strength Coach, Dan John; "Little and often". It's also to share how it can make you FEEL and how it can move you from NOTHING to SOMETHING with little to no energy or thou

It may feel like you've hit a wall at times with your health goals, but 99% of the time it's just a natural "eb and flow" happening. A "speed bump" on your path if you will. In understanding this (like REALLY understanding it - not just saying "I know, I know") you can help avoid that "all or nothing", "on or off the wagon" mentality, while at the same time realizing you're doing just fine! 🙂 Resistance is where MOST people fail I struggle using the word "fail" in health,
