“Later” is a lie

“Later” is a lie

“Later” is a lie we tell ourselves to feel better.
“Later” is stated out of fear, never necessity.
“Later” actually means “never” in regard to reaching fitness goals and dreams.

It temporarily lets us off the hook without admitting we’re giving up our dreams. We can EASILY convince ourselves that timing, circumstances, and the demands of daily life are legitimate excuses.

But they aren’t.
Ever.
Life is chaotic and busy. It seems like too much too often — like you just can’t start or focus or grow in the right direction.

Fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt weigh us down, so we turn – again and again – to “later.” Which becomes “never.”

Enough! Break the cycle with these two insights.

  1. Realize that you are NOT unique. Neither are your problems or circumstances or feelings. Millions and millions of other people have navigated what you’re going through. If they can do it, so can you.
  2. You are personally responsible for where you are now and where you will be in 90 days and for the rest of your life. Stop saying later – and seize the moment to take one little step toward doing what you need to do. Do it right now. And do it again tomorrow. And every day.

    Regardless of races being cancelled or happening, Your life, health and dreams cannot be put on hold indefinitely while you wait for the world to get perfect. You will be waiting for ever. Choose to live AS IF the race is happening and reap all the rewards from those efforts.

Life is too short for “later.” Embrace the power of “right freakin’ now!”

Gratitude is good for you

Gratitude is actually good for you

Each holiday season, we stop everything to share one common purpose; To give thanks.

The idea is so central to our national character that its myth goes back before the country’s founding. The concept of gratitude goes back even further, with its roots in ancient philosophy and all the world’s great religions.

But does it all seem like a big pain in the neck sometimes?

I mean, there’s the planning, the shopping, the cooking… This year, everything’s even more complicated because of the pandemic.

If we’re not careful, we can lose the focus on gratitude and instead get bogged down in pressure, negativity and crushed expectations.

You know – the holidays! (Ha ha…)

So, with that in mind, I want to share a super-important idea about being thankful:

It’s good for you. Yep, it’s true. Practicing an “attitude of gratitude” has physical, mental, spiritual and social benefits.

I know life is hard sometimes – this year, maybe more than most.

And that’s partly why being deliberately grateful is so helpful.

When our hearts are flowing with gratitude, there’s not much room left for fear or apprehension.

Grateful people tend to be happier and healthier than their grumpier counterparts.

Saying “thank you” spreads happiness one little bit at a time.
So, this year, amid all the hustle and bustle, be sure to express your gratitude on a regular basis.

I include all the items below every day after my meditation. I light a candle, grab my butter coffee, breathe some essential oils and do the following.

• Write a daily gratitude list.
• Tell someone you appreciate him or her every day – a friend, family member… heck, the mailman! It doesn’t matter.
• Journal, meditate, or engage your spirituality with thankfulness.

Here’s a bonus tip: Do this even when you don’t feel like it.

I promise it will make you feel better – and that’s always something to be thankful about.

Are you a dreamer or a doer?

Are you a dreamer or a doer?

Do your words match your actions?

I can’t tell you how many times people say they want to get healthy, to exercise regularly, to train for a triathlon, to eat right… and then they literally behave in every way possible that’s the opposite. Partly it’s because of the stories they tell themselves.

• “I’m too busy.”
• “I can’t afford it.”
• “I’m not fit enough to exercise.”
• “People will laugh at me or I don’t know how.”

We usually call these “excuses,” and you can believe them IF YOU WANT TO.
But if you want to be a real doer instead of just a dreamer, then here’s what I suggest:

• Get clear on what you want and how to get it.
• Take the first step, without worrying about the second.
(Call it a “leap of faith.”)
• Feel the fear and work through it anyway.

Ask for help
• Feel the power and the pleasure and the SHEER JOY of growth.

Love yourself enough to do what you say you’re going to do.

I love setting doing a triathlon as the goal and seeing all the amazing healthy side effects that you get as a result.

Without even being aware of it- you come away as a stronger, healthier, sexier, more confident thriving individual that has no limits!

This sneaky thing is making you fat

This sneaky thing is making you fat

You might have heard that stress kills.
Did you know it can also make you fat?
True fact.

When we’re stressed, our bodies release the hormone cortisol. It’s part of the “fight or flight” reaction that served a super-important function in caveman times when our ancestors encountered, say, a saber-tooth tiger.

But it can be deadly in our modern world, leading to adrenal fatigue, sugar cravings, and overeating, – which can cause us to be overweight and want more sugar.
Which causes more stress.

Add the stress of triathlon training and all the sugary sports nutrition and we have a serious problem.

Vicious circle, indeed.

Stress also causes a lot of people to indulge in “comfort foods,” which tend to be high-fat (the wrong fat), high-sodium, and high-sugar.

How many times have you come home from a hard day and cracked open a bag of potato chips or polished off a pizza? It happens.

So, learn to manage your stress by breathing better, training correctly, improving sleep, substitute alcohol for something healthier, and eating a nutrient dense metabolically efficient diet.

Try yoga, meditation, mindfulness, or getting lost in a good book or listening and singing along to music, instead of reaching for the crap.

When you feel your body tensing up, notice it, and deliberately choose to calm down with three deep belly breaths.

Smile, even a fake one. It actually does lead our brains to smiling and meaning it. Similarly, “fake laughing” produces the same stress-fighting physical reaction that “real” laughter does.

It’s true!

If you’ve been doing all the right things and your body isn’t changing, you know where you should be looking – into your ability to manage stress and your training. To learn how to recover better.

Hit reply and let me know if this happens to sound familiar.

Guess what? My holistic lifestyle coaching is included in my new 16 week Triathlon Training program. I’ll teach you all about how to manage the stress of training and life for your ultimate results!
