If you're looking for a sign, THIS IS IT. This is the sign you've been waiting for. This is the sign to take action you've been delaying. This is the sign that "I'm waiting for a better time" is nothing but a lie. So, I'm sorry (not sorry) to end the story of "I'm waiting for a better day." There is no better day. Today is it. You just got THE SIGN.

One of the things I'm most proud of, both in my personal choices and in how I have been able to impact clients in my career, is getting them out of the stories that cause us to play small. You see, we stay small because it's comfortable. We make excuses that are usually just lies. The truth is, to move forward and create the life of your dreams, you have to be able to recognize these lies and fight back against them. You have to be willing to take risks and do what's out of your comfort zone... or you're guaranteed to stay small.

The single most powerful question I ask my clients is this: "How's that working for you?" I don't mean it as a sarcastic remark; it's simply a question about observation and awareness. It's a test of feelings, thoughts, and worldview against cold hard reality. It's self-evaluation. No judgement. Staying action-focused is about what's truly happening, not what you imagine.

When you're exhausted, discouraged, and losing motivation, what keeps you going? For me, I've found that nothing is as powerful as reminding myself that I have a goal to simply improve every day. Specific goals are not important compared to simply maintaining a growth mindset where you are determined every day to simply do a little better than yesterday. Today we will discuss this growth mindset and how it is critical for persevering through setbacks and obstacles and helping you improve constantly without the stress of specific goals that can be daunting or overwhelming.

This week I want to talk briefly about negative body image and how this can be paralyzing at times. But what you see in the mirror or on the scale may not be telling you the entire story.

Over this past week, it has become very clear to me that what we do at OnAscent Fitness is more than just a fitness and nutrition plan. It is whole-health living. The conversations I had over this past week really made me step back and analyze what I was hearing. Sure, people want to lose weight and eat better, but it's much more than that. Listen in for more details.

I believe that today's society and culture has made us believe that in order to live a healthy lifestyle, we have to weigh a certain number, wear a certain size clothes, and look a certain way. So often people get discouraged when they don't see the results they were hoping for in the timeframe they had been told. So, what do you do when you can't seem to make any progress? Start by taking a hard look at the expectations you have set for yourself. We discuss this and more in today's episode.
