Fight For Yourself

There is no reason to wait until Jan 1st to start making moves toward healthy living. We can do it now! We have almost a month to makes a new habit stick.

Let’s all take a deep breath and talk about how to stay healthy in mind and body during the holidays. In this episode, I share some insight on what has worked for me so that I can be present during the season while still making progress towards my health goals.

In this episode, we explore the chattering mind and how identifying with the movie we create in our brains is destructive and limiting. You do not have to believe your thoughts just because you have them! Here is a video that I reference in this episode that discusses transcendental meditation, but what I am referring to starts at 10 minutes, 10 seconds. There is real power in learning to dive beyond the chatter.

Ever have that feeling of being completely overwhelmed? Yeah, me too. What helps me is to break whatever is overwhelming me down into sections. What is the next small step I can take in the right direction?

The biggest factors in determining whether you will be successful in anything are resilience and grit. In this episode, I break these two ideas down and talk about how I’m learning to cultivate them in my life.

This episode continues the conversation started in episode 32 around the power of taking pause. We take a deeper dive into that idea, and I share how I’ve been taking this time for myself and the questions I’ve been asking to connect.

In a culture obsessed with being busy, taking the time to pause goes against the grain. There is great power in making space for reflection and just being. In this episode, I discuss how I have started to make pause a priority in my life.

It has been two years since I decided to make one good decision about my health. It began with an idea to start trying to do something that would make me feel better. One little step in the right direction, and here I am today, 2 years later, preparing for my first half marathon!

In this episode, I discuss how I am cracking myself open, which feels like deep cleaning your room. You make a huge mess, but also find out exactly what is there and process everything, piece by piece. This is a hard process that takes conscious effort and intention, but most of all, it takes showing yourself love and compassion.

Fall is a great time to regroup and get back to basics. Through all of the information we see daily, we can get confused about what is the right thing to do for our health. “Can I eat that?” “Should I be weight training?

In this episode, I break through all of that to get down to 8 very simple basics that have helped me transform my mind and body.
