Do you “Monday” Your Goals?

In the history of procrastination, there’s no better time than Monday.

• “I promise, Coach, I’ll see you starting on Monday.”

• “My diet starts Monday – after one last weekend of fun.”

Sound familiar?

Maybe this explains why more people hit the gym or the running trails on Monday, after a weekend of lying around and overindulging.

But whether you use the Monday excuse or tell some other lie to yourself, it’s all the same. When you procrastinate working on your goals, it means you’re not really ready to do the work.

Because when you are? You go into immediate action.

Monday’s a liar.

Trust yourself. Begin your work. No matter what day it is.

It just so happens to be Monday! So today is the day to take action!

Ready for Summer Yet?

Sunshine, conclusion of a global pandemic, mangos & fun… Must be summer!

Are you excited?  I AM!

Everybody loves the warm weather and freedom of summer. And this year, the season is even sweeter after the long ordeal we’ve all been through.

So, if last summer was about restrictions, make this one about indulging in the freedom to:

• Get fit;
• Eat right;
• Sign up for a Triathlon
• And build the healthy lifestyle you want for every season of the year.

If you can take a vacation, even a brief one, then do it. Think how rejuvenating it is to get away and unplug for even a few days.

If you haven’t seen your family and friends, then make a point of catching up in person now. It’s good for the soul.

If you felt locked inside the house too much, then get outside every day and move your body.

If you’ve been missing the racing scene, races are happening, get registered for a local 5k, or sprint triathlon.

If you let your gym attendance lapse (as many people did through the pandemic), then fire it back up now!

I don’t know about you, but I always get so much energy from the sun and the season. Something about it inspires me to want to enjoy healthier, fresher food, to celebrate my physical abilities more, and to just smile at the sky in gratitude.

If you’re not quite ready yet, let’s talk about it. You deserve an awesome summer, and I’m here to help you get it.

If you are ready… Join me next week for my Bring a Buddy Week here at Full Circle Coaching.

Please be MY buddy and join me for a FREE WEEK of training. No experience necessary!

You don’t even have to live in Miami. I have a virtual program too.

Register Here and bring a friend too << Space is limited sign up today >>

7 Ways Gratitude Changes You

Why should you practice an attitude of gratitude? 

Well, simply put, gratitude is good for you. Here are just seven ways, out of ZILLIONS.

1. It lowers blood pressure and risk of heart attack. 
2. It helps you sleep better.
3. It improves relationships.
4. It reduces negative emotions like resentment, anxiety and depression.

All true. For real.

Spending just 5 minutes every single day being grateful for all the amazing things in your life and for things that you desire and are on their way can change your life for the better!

Who’s in Your Inner Circle of 5?

You’ve probably heard that you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

It’s a good idea to keep in mind especially, when you’re improving your training and eating routines.

You want to be surrounded by supportive people who will encourage you, inspire you, and maybe even teach you.

You don’t want to be spending time with Debbie Downers! Even the most upbeat people will be brought down by constant naysayers.

Does your inner circle reflect your values and provide the loving support you need? What about:

• Your significant other? Even if he or she doesn’t want to take on your fledgling habits or triathlon goals, your partner can still make domestic accommodations in say, scheduling and shopping. 

• Your best friend? If they’re really a partner in drinking, overeating and lounging, then you might need a new BFF. At least be clear that you won’t be joining in those activities anymore.

• Your workout partner? If none of your friends are interested in joining your runs, rides, or workouts, you’ll find a welcoming group here.

• Your coach? All good coaches are not the same. If you have one who doesn’t raise your game, teach you new stuff, help you become the athlete you dream of, or make you feel special – then get another coach.

• Your work colleagues? If you’re going to the workplace, enlist someone for training lunches and healthy lunches. If you’re working at home, check in with that special workmate daily to share encouragement.

Remember you’re responsible for the energy you allow yourself to absorb. Make sure it’s the kind that fuels your dreams and passions!

The Saboteur Inside You

I have this voice in my head that’s always telling me I can’t do something. That I’m not good enough. That my plans will never work out.

It’s my “Inner Saboteur.”

You have one, too. Everybody does.

I used to succumb to my “Inner Saboteur.” I’d let her hijack my thoughts, keep me from making positive change, and just make a mess of my head and heart. 

NO MORE!

My secret? I finally stopped fighting her. I realized that she’s always been in me, that she simply is a part of my psychology, and that she’s never going to go away or be entirely quiet. She is what she is, after all, and she is only trying to keep me SAFE.

I used to argue with her. I used to wish she’d go away forever. 

Now, I realize that she will always be there and, even if she’s quiet for a while, she’s going to roar from time to time – AND THAT’S OK.

Because, you know what?

I don’t have to listen to her.

I don’t have to believe her.

I don’t have to take her advice.

In fact, I can turn her into a helpful antagonist: “Oh, yeah?” I can taunt her.

Think I can’t?

WATCH ME!

Try it yourself. Go ahead!

This was definitely the case for me believing I could qualify for World Championships at the age of 50 after a few years of not running – but guess what? I did it!!!!!

This is not about bragging but letting you know that anything you want to do- YOU CAN DO IT TOO!

You don’t want what I’m selling

Hey, wanna spend time sweating and breathing hard, limit certain foods and alcohol and go to bed on time?

Want to slow down and focus on how well you are doing things vs. just going through the motions and checking the box?

No?

You don’t want all that?

How about this…

Would you like to look better, feel better, and move better so you can enjoy life on your own terms and be a better version of yourself? Or become the triathlete you’ve always wanted to be

You DO want that, right? Who doesn’t?

Well, if a coach tries to sell that first package, they would not have much success, right? Because guess what, you don’t want what they’re selling!

No one does.

But when we focus on the joy that the effort brings, ah… that’s the sweet spot.

Feeling better, looking better, moving better… When I sell a happier lifestyle for you — then you’re motivated and eager, aren’t you?

You’ll take those hopeful steps, knowing we’re here to guide you along the journey – then what you’re buying is really just unlocking the secret power within yourself.

What You Appreciate, Appreciates

Think about a time when someone showed appreciation for you.

Maybe your boss thanked you in front of the whole team, and even described how your extra effort made a big difference for the company.

How did you feel? 

It felt amazing, didn’t it? And it spurred you to grow even more. You probably felt encouraged to do a good job again the next time, right?

That’s a great example of a powerful principle we can apply in all aspects of our lives, including our exercise, training and nutrition habits.

What you appreciate … appreciates. What you value then grows in value.

Here are a few more examples.

• When you show your partner how you appreciate certain behavior, he or she is likely to do it more.

• When you lose a few pounds, you’re happy – and also encouraged to continue eating right and exercising.

• When you nurture friendships by spending time on them, those people feel good – and the relationships deepen over time.
• When you appreciate your mind and body for all that it does for you in training and when you have a great performance at a race or training session, it responds and gives you more!

The word “appreciate” has multiple meanings. It can mean that we simply notice something. Then that we’re thankful for it, and that we place a value on it. But the word also means “to grow,” as in a financial investment.

When you’re living a healthy lifestyle, you feel better emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. The benefits of that investment appreciate and compound – so you, in turn, want to keep eating right and exercising and enjoying all the positive, wonderful gifts around you.

If you want something to appreciate, show how much you appreciate it. Including yourself.

NAMASTE!

Time-saving strategies to prioritize yourself

Managing your time is all about expressing your priorities.

So, when you habitually say things like, “I don’t have time to: exercise, stretch, strength train, eat smart, etc.” then you’re essentially saying this:

My health and happiness are not priorities.

Please, stop saying that!

Here are a few simple time-management tools to prioritize yourself in your own life. Think about how you can apply them to use YOUR time effectively.

• Just say no. Crazy concept, right? You don’t have to do everything someone asks. You don’t have to take on every responsibility. “No” is a complete sentence.
• What do flight attendants always say? “Please secure your own oxygen mask before helping someone else.” That’s a good lesson on the ground too. If you can’t take care of yourself, you’re not going to be any good to another person.
• Wake up 30 minutes early. Depending on your family and work schedules, this slight adjustment could start a chain reaction of time savings. Think of what you could do before anyone else wakes up and the daily rush starts.
• Limit screen time. We used to say watch less TV, but now we should include Internet and video games, too. I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy them. But if you’re searching for time to exercise, you can start right here by cutting an hour a day three days a week.
• Conduct walking meetings and lunches. If your desk-bound for calls and Zoom meetings, try to arrange just a couple a week while out for a walk. Similarly, if there’s an individual you need, then schedule a time to walk together or while on the phone. It’s fun, social, and gets good ideas flowing. (And, yes, it saves time!)
• Seize the time you save on commuting. More people are working from home nowadays, and that means tons of time back in your column since you don’t have to commute every day. 

Which of these are you going to try? Do you have any time-saving best practices?
