Have You Felt That You Are Giving And Not Receiving

Is It Time For A Shift

The topic will relate to so many people but just as many refuse to accept it. It is so easy for many just plain simple and a everyday lifestyle. I will break this down in 2 components one in personal life and the other as it relates to fitness.

Personal /Professional

It is easy to give your best in relationships, our professional life and fail to see the return. We become a statistic in just follow the road map of how it is suppose to be done. We become burned out, everyone expects the same no pats on the back, no thank you, no promotions, no I love you, because we have silently allowed ourselves to become a victim of what we should do regardless. I use the term “we” because I have experience this and had to ‘EVALUATE’ myself and actions and that is when I begin to take action. Just a few recommendations but application of each depends where you are and your comfort level.

1. Speak up. Yes stand up and speak up and ask why are you expecting so much from me without compensation. I was shocked a few times when I was told “because you’re good at it or I didn’t know you wanted compensation the one that says I didn’t know it bothered you or mattered to you. See we can easily by being quiet allow others to take advantage of our kindness. They already know. Just FYI expect attitude when speaking up because many people already know they have offended others, been disrespectful but didn’t expect to be confronted. Also expect change in relationships as well as possible loss of friends and distance in co-workers. But now they know and will respect you differently.
2. Looking for a promotion at work- speak the head of the department to find out what actions you need to apply. Let them know what you are currently doing (which sometimes you are applying the actions without recognition or others thinking you are satisfied at a level without compensation). Change will come. Accept the recommended actions without an excuse why you CAN’T. If you want the change then YES you must apply the action
3. Your significant other. I know this is one to tip toe on as all relationships have a difference. Are you able to truthfully talk to your significant other about your feelings. Share where you are and why you feel you are giving without an appreciation of return and explain the return you want. Remember it is not always about the monetary things or sex. Although it is an added value. As you share what you are feeling the lack be open and ask what can you assist them with because itis possible there maybe a deficit on the significant others side. Most all communication should always be shared and in a possible way for both. So a good date night, movie night, small walk together or just cuddle conversation. Listen, express yourself and enjoy the positive outcome.

Fitness

Working out has benefits. We see changes in the body, mindset, energy, nutrition. We also have to decide the fitness that works for us and the days we will workout. I am good for promoting the behavior of scheduling your workouts on the days you will. Some days the energy may be different but just do it and give your best. Suggestions:

1. Schedule your workouts, even if the time varies. You are committing to yourself and your health remember there is no price tag on you and your health. You know that old “priceless”. Share your time of workouts with family, friends so they know and will respect the time.
2. Your nutrition. Keep it balanced, enjoy celebration, being out with family and friends but there is no need to overindulge as well as starving yourself. Find a nutrition plan that works for you allowing the balance. I have suggestions that I will link at the end of the post. It is okay to do it yourself just don’t making huge changes that will not only affect your health but your workouts. If you are not properly nourished how can you be successful in your workouts.
3. Add variety in your workouts, don’t just focus on one specific method of workouts. And if you are streaming follow the program. You will not see change jumping around when you are challenged. MODIFY . Follow the process
4. Believe in yourself. Know YES you can. Stop being a friend to the scale. Uh yes the scale matters but there is so much the scale does not tell us. Energy boost, inches lost, walking or running faster, hydrating more so your skin is glowing, your strength has increased, your mindset is different you are noticing you are doing a lot of brushing off and mindset shift those petty conversations are no longer interested.
5. If you feel working out at the gym isn’t for you then stream. I’d enjoy if you join me and let me know you have just send me an email so we can become accountability partners. If streaming isn’t for you then go to the gym or maybe you need to use them both. Seeing a plateau change. Just don’t change because you are challenged or don’t want to follow the process. Find a friend or family member even a co-worker that wants to join in on the fitness journey
6. Your fitness journey should be one you are growing into or extending, love it (even if you have to take that sometime break; but not for an extended time)
