3 Mindset Secrets to longevity in Health, Wellness and Triathlon.
Too often in the realm of fitness we rely on willpower to get us to our end result.
But we all kinda know how that turns out.
We lose motivation. We discover willpower is incredibly finite. So instead, let’s look at some mindset hacks to make this whole longevity thing around health. fitness and triathlon much easier…
Here are 3 mindsets you MUST possess if you want to get and stay fit:
1. Focus on consistency over everything else. The best thing you can do is keep showing up and not quit. If I miss a day of movement, I feel it in my whole body and mind. It doesn’t mean I push hard every single day, but I do commit to movement of some sort every single day, even if that’s just a walk around the neighborhood with the family.
2. Have a long-term mindset. This means that no matter how you feel one day, what the scale says, how slow or fast your Strava or Garmin is showing your last run was, you must stay on track. This is knowing what you’re committing to around your health is forever and not just for a certain event, until you’re a certain size, or achieve a certain weight, or finish a certain race. You are in it to win it. I do think having a goal like a race can help you stay committed and create the momentum needed to get you going and keep you going.
3. Find inspiration daily. Whether it’s listening to podcasts, audible, reading, youtube videos, journaling, being an example to your spouse, partner, or kids… it doesn’t really matter. Find a way to activate inspiration for your path forward every single day.
I do this during my morning routine- After my meditation practice, looking at my vision board and reminding myself of my big dreams and keeping them in visual sight every single day, imagining what it will feel like when those dreams are realized is what keep me going.
What are your thoughts? Have you tried any of these techniques before or found something else that has worked for you?
I promise if you use these in conjunction with one another you will truly transform from the inside out.
Wishing you well,

#1 works best for me. When 2 – 3 days go by that I’ve missed practice or haven’t gotten on my bike, it just makes it that much harder. Just getting on my elliptical machine for a 15 minute workout usually leads to a set of push ups or sit ups. Starting or showing up is the hard part.
