Beyond YOUR Comfort Zone

Are you motivated? Have you "lost your motivation"? I share with you how relying on motivation will trap us. I share the three things that are part of reality that we need to learn how to handle and accept, so we can learn how to move forward to get what we want.  I share tools on ways to build resiliency, discipline, dedication, commitment, and consistency. As you build these small steps you start feeling more freedom comes into your life.  Although these tools are build one step at a time, I do share three tips on how to accelerate the process.

Most of the time we eat food because it helps us feel better in the moment. I want to offer you some new ideas on how you can feel better longer and get more energy from food. I want to help you see how to feel good now and later, not just for a fleeting moment.

I share the 4 Ns you need to do in order to create a different relationship with your body, which then helps you start using food that fuels you. 

The last thing I discuss is the method and framework, which is call the Nutrient Dense Fast Fuel Formula, we use inside the team to see last change in our mind and body and success in our athletic performance

We all need connection in this life. One of my favorite things is connecting with others, and one way I like to do that is getting to know them better. 

This week Emily, a coach in Team Elevate, and I interviewed each other. 

We asked questions about family, fun, life lessons learned through struggles, and advice we would offer our younger selves.

The last thing we share is how we are both going beyond our comfort zones.

These questions could be fun to ask family members or friends to create a deeper connection with those you love during the holidays.

In the moment when you realize things are not going the way you planned, what do you do? How do you react? Physically things may be out of your control, but mentally you  have a choice on how you will respond. You will hear Ciara, one of our amazing Team Elevate Ladies, share what she did when injury became a part of her racing story. 

You will be inspired and motivated as she shares her determined spirit with us on the podcast. She hung on to her purpose for racing. She stayed present and patient through the up and down of the race and training, and no matter what she was committed to finishing the race.

This is a must listen to episode. 

Listen for all the life lessons Ciara learns along the way on her Ironman journey.

The holiday season brings up so many different emotions. It seems as though life gets kicked into high gear. How can you make a decision to have an elevated holiday around food, fitness, family, and fun? It starts with an intentional decision. A commitment to yourself of how you want to show up this season.

I share the steps I use, and I have seen others use to come out elevated and not drained after the holidays.

What do you think when you think of food and the holidays? This week I want to address the idea of feeling restrictive and trapped if you want to be at a healthy athletic weight. 

In most conversations I have with people they bring up the topic of food. I hear them say things like, they wish they didn't have to restrict, they don't want to have to worry about food, and they want to be about to eat what they feel like at the moment, and not follow a plan.

As I unwind these ideas, I will show you that you can have food freedom without worrying,  feeling restrictive, or trapped. It is worth listening and it is worth retraining your brain and body because then you get to live the biggest life possible without food holding you back. 

On the Team, we work on getting the right framework to get you on the track you want with your food.

 Are you a Resilient person? Oftentimes we don't know how resilient we are until we are faced with a hard situation. 

Life will inevitably hand us challenging experiences and we can also choose challenges. One way to see if you are resilient is through sports or participating in athletic events. 

I share two ways that help you get through the hard. 

I also share how through racing triathlons and running I have built up resilience that has helped me in so many difficult and challenging life situations. 

When we as moms and dads show our kids that we are still choosing to be brave and courageous, it just embodies on a deeper level that we are practicing what we preach.

Can you really get more confidence or are you just born with it? I share a lot of thoughts from the Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser, and it is so amazing to see how connected the mind and body are. I talk more about the first victory, mental bank account, and how the awareness of your thoughts is the first step to getting you into success. I help you understand the two cycles, which are the sewer cycle and the success cycle. 

I share a personal experience on how I was in the sewer cycle and go into the success cycle.

What is the one step you need to take to change your life? A couple weekends ago at the Incline Your Life Retreat the first step you needed to take to get to the top of the incline was the first step out of 2,768 steps. So how does that translate to changing your life? You need to be committed to what you want. 

You need to have awareness of where you are and then know where you want to go. Then making a commitment is the first thing you do to get into the massive action you need to change. 

If you are not sure what you are committing to or the direction you want to go, the action you take will be meaningless.

I shared examples of the things we did at the retreat with our movement to the top of the incline and learning how to prepare food, and coaching on how to implement the things we learned. The incline was a physical way to show what commitment looks like, and set the pattern to follow with our food and mind.

The chance to race again was priceless. It was an emotional race report as I am still humbly and gracely trying to take in the fact that my knee held up for the whole Ironman only 6 month after the reconstruction of my knee. It is a 12 month recovery, so I still have a way to go, but moving it and competing in the race was so good for my soul. I really had to tap into the warrior mentality that I have been learning and teaching my team to practice. 

I share how I executed my race just like I planned, and all the beautiful lessons I learned on my Ironman Kona.
