“Change is not an event. It’s a tiny decision made over and over again. Change isn’t once. It’s daily.” – Don Kuhl
Improving our lives is a choice. It’s an individual choice. The time, the reason, the motivation, the determination, the path we take to improve is all personal. Each person has to decide on their own when and how they would like to improve their life. We have to be ready to take the first step.
Research shows the top three ways to make life better are
• Decreasing Stress
• Sleeping Better
• Reducing Pain
Guess what? Exercise can help you do all three.
An exercise routine will be lived out one moment at a time. The quality of our life is the result of the sum of our choices.
Isn’t it amazing how much our thoughts control our actions? “I don’t feel like it” is the number one reason we, as parents, hear our kids give us for not actively playing outside. Don’t do we the same thing? Of course we are so grown up that we disguise our emotions in sarcasm “I worked hard for this big belly, I don’t want to give it up now.” Or behind in difference, “ my great grandfather smoked and drank and he lived to be 101, I’m going to go out like him.” Or even fear, “I don’t think I could survive one day of training”.
Live in the present, it’s the only “place” where you can be active. Actions happen now, not in the past or future. In-the-moment opportunities, such as taking lunch to work, working hard each training session, planning meals instead of gobbling up fast food, and being active outside of your training program.
Hey Epsom Area residents, this summer Cr8 Fitness is having a Mental Toughness Extra Effort Challenge. The goal is to do what you have already committed to doing. There is a whole list of things we could say we are going to do each day. What are you actually going to commit yourself to do? Allowing yourself to be held accountable is adding a new layer to this challenge. It feels really good to know others are there to encourage, give you ideas, high five accomplishments, and give you that push when you need it. Its not too late to join us.
During the month of June which is going by so quickly, you can train with us as a new client as a tryout period. You'll love the people, enjoy the accountability, and rely on the coaching. Please fill in this 'Contact Us' form and I'll personally give you a call.
Stop looking at what happened yesterday, you can’t change it.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, because you can’t control everything that comes your way.
Make today count – Every Day.
Coach Nancy
