FitMama

This week Jen talks about her Embrace – Nurture- Enjoy FitMama Foundations™ Framwork that forms the basis for cultivating healthy habits that stick.

We all think it starts with “what to do” and “what to eat” but before any of that can actually take place in a “healthy” way, Jen shares what 3 foundations your healthy habits can build upon.

Without these mindset pieces, it is going to be an uphill battle with your goals or resolutions and you deserve better!

Begin with the end in mind and allow your mind to be your ally not your enemy.

Choose to never again say this, “I am my own worst enemy,” as that is literally asking for physical dis-ease – NOT healthier habits.

Today’s episode is about voicing what you mean to say and confidently saying no when it seems so hard.

Tis the season for “feeling bad.”

This episode dives into how we have a choice to feel bad or not. Jen gives you permission to say no this season to things you don’t want to do. Guilt free.

Jen talks about facing your negative emotions and moving past them, not distracting yourself from your feelings by getting stuck in the blame game.

Jen explains how you are co-creating your life and what important piece might be missing from your daily schedule.

Starting each day with a smile happens naturally when you come to the realization that this day will never come again.

Start to wake up to your life as it is right now. Open your eyes. Really see what is in front of you rather than what you want to see.

Have you stopped and thought lately how things could be different if they aren’t as you want them right now?

We have all these programmed settings in us at any given time and these settings become repeated programs over time that lay down neural networks and become our reality.

Entering each new day with a blank slate is a good one. Not holding old grudges and pre-judgments from the day before. Open up to possibility and look at each day like a blank canvas that can be painted with whatever comes up that day. Some things may be bright and vibrant and better than expected, and others may lack lustre and anything to write home about. It doesn’t matter. It’s your life.

Are you living your life by the expectations of others. Expectations from years ago, or are you stuck wishing for something that has no basis in reality.

Let go of those old “should” and “have to” scripts and start designing your life starting with your thoughts.

Are you asking the question “Why?” all the time and keeping yourself from moving forward?

Why is one of those questions that has a tendency to keep you stuck. It’s the first question that pops into our mind, “Why does this always happen to me?” or “Why do I keep doing that?” but it doesn’t actually give us the answers that help us move forward and affect positive change.

In this episode, Jen takes you through examples of other questions to ask that are more empowering, less judgmental (yes, we judge ourselves with why!) and more likely to move you towards your goals rather than further away from them.

Leave judgment behind and tune into the examples of better questions you can start asking yourself to achieve the goals you have set or to make the positive tweaks in your life that will allow you to live a life you love in a body you love.

Why not?

In this episode, Jen highlights the importance of planning ahead and creating SOP’s (standard operating procedures) for some aspects in your life. Especially around the main hectic times in your day, like on weekday mornings. Jen shares how to tap into creating new possibilities for your “chaos.” Going from living reactively to proactively has significant positive health implications and most specifically mental and emotional health. Jen shares how SOP’s help with will power, they will help you feel more peace and flow in your days and above all they will allow you to show up in your life in a way that feels good. Jen supports you and encourages you to say no more often, commit to less and allow more space and freedom in your days to truly enjoy the life you’re living and enjoy your children, now. Not when more to-do’s are checked off. Jen offers you a way to feel vibrant at the end of a day not completely depleted, which is what we each deserve and so to do our loved ones deserve to engage with the best side of us.

We all know that the hardest part of any health and fitness habit is mustering up the motivation and courage to “just do it.” Jen goes into the importance of valuing YOU in this episode, which is a necessary first ingredient into the recipe of success as a FitMama. Being a FitMama all starts with love, and loving you is first and foremost. As FitMamas, we cannot pour from an empty cup, and self criticism, low self worth and negative self talk will dig you into the deepest empty cup you can find. Start to fill your cup by following Jen’s advice and cultivating the self value required to conquer any goal in or out of the gym. Jen highlights words, terms and the mindsets that keep us stuck and sliding down that slippery slope of self destruction. Listen in for her guidance on thought stopping and “reminding, rehearsing and rewiring” yourself for long term success. This one is a game changer if you’ve been bullying yourself without awareness of the grave consequences. You deserve better FitMama! You deserve love. Especially from yourself.
