This weeks theme of the week: "Remember, joy is not based on your circumstances."

This soapbox goes over the harsh reality that joy is an inside job. It's not about the pounds you shed, muscles you gain, how ripped you may look or how fast you can run; it's about how you feel about yourself. 

For too long we have put too much of an emphasis on the external validation while our internal validation goes completely unnoticed in the fitness industry.

Our theme of the week for January 8th 2024 is:

"“We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to build value, but we get paid for the value, not the time.  Therefore we disregard the time it takes to build value” - Jim Rohn

Listen as we touch on the subject of reaching your new year goals in a timely manner to create more value in yourself. But, sometimes the time we take to reach our goals is not considered of value and how that can be detrimental to helping you make lasting changes.

Resident Tough Cookie Rachel Guess talks about your own fitness journey and making sure that you are keeping your eye's on your own paper.

It can be so easy for us to look at the person next to us and compare our fitness journey to their's. There is only one you and you alone, make sure that we focus on our journey and keep our eyes forward on focus on our own paper. The person next to us might not always have the right answer.

Our TwTC Theme of the week addresses what you always have control over. The choice of choosing a perspective when there is a problem with no sudden solution.
