Your Thoughts Create Your Reality

Do you think your thoughts don’t matter?

Think again. They do.

Buddha said, “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.”

I believe that has been true in my life.

When I was younger, I went through some troubling times, where I told myself I was unhappy, unlovable, misunderstood, and best off alone.

But later in life, I realized that was just a script I’d picked up somewhere. I decided to try some new thoughts.

“I love people, I am strong and capable, I can make a difference.”

“My problems aren’t so terrible, other people have gone through similar things and are happy – I’m like everybody else, more or less.”

“I’m attractive, smart, and a good person.”

And you know what? I became a better friend, started smiling more often, and created my now reality which is truly amazing and filled with so many friends, and a thriving business and community.

Buddha was onto something!

Try it yourself. The next time you hear the voice in your head saying something negative, turn that statement around.

“I can’t do it” EASILY becomes, “Give it a try!”

“I’m just heavy” EASILY becomes, “I’m losing the extra weight!”

“I’m just one of those junk-food junkies” EASILY becomes, “I’m making better choices today!”

Now, its your turn.

“There is no way I can get better” becomes – “I am taking action every day to ___________________________________________________________” (fill in the blank)

How good is your excuse?

Let’s play a game called “What’s Your Excuse?”

Before you answer, let’s review the most common “reasons” people cite for not exercising and eating right, signing up to do a triathlon or any big challenge.

Do any of these ring a bell?

1. “I don’t have time.”
2. “It’s too expensive.”
3.  “I’ll go to the gym, once I get in better shape.”
4. “I don’t have anyone to exercise with.”

I hear these “reasons” all the time. But the truth is, they’re all just excuses. All of them. And there’s no excuse that’s valid when it prevents you from prioritizing your health.

The truth is simple. 

1. Everyone gets the same 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Unless you’re a single parent working three jobs and going to night school, get over yourself.
2. Exercise costs nothing. 
3. Do you cut your hair before you go to the salon?
4. I can help with that, whether you work out with me or not.

Why not challenge yourself in a different way?

What are the REASONS you have to exercise and eat right?

Don’t you want more time?

Don’t you want to save money on healthcare?

Don’t you want to look, feel, and move better?

When excellent motivations become more important than shoddy excuses, then you’ll start making the right changes.

And I’m here to help you every step of the way. Let’s go!

Springtime strategies for your health

There’s just something powerful and restorative about spring, isn’t there? We want to get outside, enjoy the sunshine and the flowers, and – let’s admit it – maybe show off how we look at the beach or the park, right?

For some people, it’s hard to feel confident, though. And this year – after the pandemic and the horrible winter weather – it might be worse than usual.

Not to worry! Here are 6 easy springtime tips or better health and confidence. 

1. Set a date for a race or similar event. During the pandemic, most races were cancelled. But more and more races are happening and you can even do a virtual races. This is my best strategy to be accountable to your training. The date on the calendar helps you keep moving knowing you have to show up on that date and perform, at any level. You can sign up online and complete the course at a time you choose. 
2. Schedule workouts on your calendar. That way, you’ll remind yourself – and be less likely to blow it off. Everything feels more official when it’s on your calendar, right? I use Training Peaks App for myself and my whole team. I wake up every morning and there is my workout.
3. Limit social media. Nothing makes me feel less confident than scrolling through Instagram or Facebook. Plus, if you stop looking at your phone right before bed, you’ll sleep better – which gives you mental and physical super-powers including confidence and better health.
4. Work out with a friend. Go to the gym together, if that’s an option, or schedule runs and walks outdoors. You and your pal will keep each other accountable, and friendships are powerful tonics against the stress we’re all under.
5. Have fun. Maximize the season’s positive vibes by doing something you actually enjoy – especially if you’ve been locked away all winter or doing something you didn’t even like. Studies prove we’re more likely to stick with exercise when it’s fun. Join a group like mine!
6. Lay off the junk food and alcohol. OK, this is always good advice, but especially now when you want all the big assists you can get. Have some fruit and a glass of water instead. You’ll feel better and it’ll help you look better than eating chips and drinking another beer.

Let me know which of these you’re going to try and if you have other ideas!

“Let me think about it.”

There’s a phrase we all tend to use when we want to politely get out of certain situations – usually right after someone has asked us to make a commitment.

And that phrase is, “Let me think about it.”

I’ve used it. You’ve used it. Everyone has.

• Take out a car loan? Let me think about it.
• Buying a house? Let me think about it.
• Accept a job offer in a different town? Let me think about it.

But here’s something you don’t need to think about at all, ever: Taking action to improve your health.

It is truly a no-brainer. There is no decision, no option, no “con” list to go up against the endless “pro” list.

I could load you up with reasons, but you already know them. If you want to improve your life, enjoy it more, and extend it longer – then you have to exercise and eat better. Simple as that.

And while we’re being honest, my friend…you’ve gotta get support if you really want to be successful long-term.

So, when you’re ready to ACT on that knowledge, I’m here to help!
