🙏 What does mindfulness mean to you? 🙏 We all have goals and dreams that we want to achieve, but sometimes life gets in the way. I know that you moms out there know what I’m talking about. As busy moms, our weeks fly by, and no two days are the same. 🙏 To truly achieve your goals, you have to be in a natural state of being. You need to feel happiness and joy, and be content with living life. But, if you feel stagnant in life, you are not alone. Especially during these hard times.

When you learn how to control them, you can create whatever future you want. 🙏 Today on #MindsetMonday, I’m going to let you know what these three states of mind are and how you can control them. And when that happens, I promise you will start to move forward in life and reach your dreams. 🙏 To listen to today’s episode, you can search The Sheila Strong Show and subscribe for free or go directly to sheilastrong.ca/podcasts.

💪 If you are a fitness newbie, you might be overwhelmed the first time you step into the gym. Maybe you even jump around to all the different machines every time you are there, without ever having a real routine in place.

💪 Some trainers even suggest that you SHOULD do a different workout every time. This is called muscle confusion and the goal is to avoid hitting a plateau during weight training. It keeps your body feeling sore every time you work out.

💪 However, this isn’t the best way to exercise. If you don’t stick to a routine, you aren’t giving your body the chance to become better at a specific exercise. Our health journeys aren’t just about reaching our body success goals. It’s all about our mental wellbeing as well. And sometimes that gives us the most motivation.

💪 Today on #Training&WellnessThursday, I’m going to let you know how often you should change your workouts in order to see maximum results.

💪By sticking with the same workout for up to four weeks, you’re going to look and feel stronger. When that happens, you’re going to want to get back to the gym every single day.
