What’s YOUR Purpose

We all have a power. That power in making life challenging and changing decisions should be suitable for your life. Yes we can research by any search engine, we can listen to suggestions, it’s easy to even test the waters (try it out). However does it serve you?

The decision should have a value to it. Now it is personal to say the intense level of that value. Yes, it’s again about you. I share this card from a motivational collection, I emphasize 4-5 days a week on my IG, please follow if you want more@nitricehealthyfit. Back to the focus, it’s easy to follow what someone else’s decision. It really is because it can look so exciting but just stop and think. How is it or will it serve you.

Making that serving decision, just as a caution may stir up a bit of friction in a friendship. Don’t walk away and wave bye. Please don’t. Explain your decision and how their decision was not in aligned with you at this time. Explanation only for those that are near, dear and loving to you. Everyone does NOT need an explanation.

Know your worth is HIGH , the value of you is PRICELESS as is the decisions you make. High and Priceless + Serving

The Workouts Are Not A Competition

No, they are not, unless you’re actually competing. Did you know you really are the boss of your workouts.

I have fallen in love with weight lifting for many reasons and I’ll share a few.

A. It improves my metabolism

B. My energy level is so elevated even though the workouts have fatigued my muscles

C. The toning of my body.

D. I love it,

It did take me a while to realize I do not have to increase when the trainer recommends. If you don’t know, well now you do; I am a streaming person in my workouts because I have control over my time. I am nor will I ever knock going to the gym. We have to decide what mode of workout is best for us. I will recommend to commit and be consistent in your workouts.

Now back to the lifting. Don’t judge yourself if you have to drop weight lift for a few reps or the entire lift cycle. Your strength can vary. One week I’m backing about shoulder press of 25lbs which is 50 and the next week I’m crying about how heavy 15lbs are which is 30. Our nutrition fluctuates, stress levels, sleep hours which can be contributing factors to the weight lift change. Okay and again okay. What matters is that you give your best each and every time; be committed and stay consistent.

You can increase the burn on any muscle with a slower pace. Up count 123 or to 5 then quick release. This also applies to push ups, seated workouts. Commit, consistency, correct body form and safety. Listen to the body. 1 2 3 now GO get that workout in.

Pssst… if you’re looking for accountability partner send me an email, or if you’re not certain where to begin or restart go ahead email me.

What If You Spilled?

I ask this question as I recently chatted with a person and she felt as if she’d made an error on a decision. It wasn’t life threatening but life challenging however to her she felt different. It’s not mine or your decision to judge the value of another. We can disagree or agree but most of all I do believe the best approach is to respect their value and listen. This is only if it’s not of harm to anyone.

So, you guessed it I listened. Really listening sometimes will aide an individual to resolve a situation themselves. The more they talk the reality and resolution just comes. But it didn’t in this situation, well it did but not immediately.

My question was simple and I requested her not to answer during our conversation but to just think about it.

If you spilled a liquid an it was a large amount would you

1. Just walk away in hopes that it dried up (meaning to resolve itself without any action)

2. Try to avoid it in hopes of not falling or sliding through and didn’t consider someone else could get injured in a fall

3. Would you shout out I spilled, avoid this area I’m going to clean it up now, as a preventative measure and clean up the spill. As you clean up you realize your error and implement whatever action is necessary to prevent a reoccurrence.

That’s a decision to make. We are capable of making decisions for ourselves with the right action and without injury or harm. But for many the walk away is easier.

How about you? Are you or have you cleaned up the spill ? If not, I think the spill is there and you have time to clean it up. The decision YOU make and the ACTIONS you take is leveling up. And that feel good smile, that now feel good strut, twist, swagger just added extra watts of light into your life and brightened a room.

What if you spilled.

It ALL Helps

In the world we live in there are so many distractions. Go right, go left, 5 feet, 8 feet, do this, do that, say yes, say no. I don’t know about you, but I had to learn my own path, set my own goals, keep a positive attitude and mindset (although it can be challenging sometimes).

We, that’s you and I must know who we are. Not the person others have destined us to be but our true selves. Then believe in ourselves, surround ourselves with positive people. I know a few of us as I raise my hand to guilt, thought I had to be surrounded by people of same mindset and goals.

WRONG, we need to be surrounded by positive people. Yes a few may share a common interest but it’s the mindset. People with a positive mindset will applaud you, elevate you to new levels and yet be on a different path.

In my up leveling I do listen to pod casts. Now I cannot listen to all daily but I find that time. Podcasts are not the same to everyone, I chose those that inspire and motivate me. This is not a promotion but a share. Peek into anyone of these podcasts and determine if it’s worthy of a follow.

How’s Your Progress

We all have goals and if you don’t it’s time to create some. Not to overwhelm yourself. Too many and being unrealistic can be very heavy on those goals. Set deadlines and if you have to push out a bit, that’s okay just not too far out.

Setting goals is simple, really it is. The challenge is applying the actions. Make certain the actions are positive and align with your principles.

Most of all learn as you grow. Don’t stop if you error, grow. Stopping will only prolong that goal into your reality plus how many times do you want to start over.

HALLOWEEN, Get Spooky

I don’t know if you do any type of festivities for Halloween, but I love the decorations; well most sometimes they are a bit freaky and scary. I love seeing the little ones dressed up and wonder how the parents will react and their solution to decrease the hype post sugar high.

BUT, how about you. Yes you, let’s get SPOOKY. You only have a few weeks to spook yourself by achieving a goal. Maybe it’s beginning a new workout (if you are searching send me an email let’s chat). Maybe it’s beginning a new journey in life, a project, stepping into an uncomfortable zone to heighten your Greatness. Whatever it is do it. Let’s begin spooking our selves and celebrate on 31 October. You choose your celebration, me it’s gonna be Reese’s. Going to take an allergy pill and enjoy.

Get to the spook.

Are You On Overdrive

Yes, are you? I know we’re in the world of let’s get it done and fast. Extend your day there is room for more, keep moving, do you really need all those hours of sleep.

It’s so easy to put our mindset and body in overdrive. I’m speaking on fitness and professional growth.

In fitness we want that rapid change be it workouts (by the way you’re welcome to join me in workouts; if you have time limits, a beginner or just an accountability partner let do it together). Change some on diets, and many now using the injections or pills and want that change. We move rapidly and of course with the injections and pills there is a limit, but man do I hear the conversation of wanting immediate results. Pace yourself, if you’re doing what has been instructed, I need you to trust the process and be patient. Get organized in applying all actions required and don’t overdo it and don’t fatigue your body out. Pace and patience. If you’re over exceeding your workouts your body will begin to slow down why? You’re probably not sleeping enough, decreased your nutrition (which is good for a deficit, but to starve your body of needed nutrients), hydrate and then the fatigue. Sometimes the fatigue is because of absence of the sleep, needed nutrition and hydration. You know I always say know before you go. Yep, get all the details. And really when we put ourselves in overdrive, we neglect a few things and for certain there is that big chance of oversight.

Neglect things that are important and we don’t notice the attention we have failed others and ourselves until sometimes it’s too late. Too late, yeah, the body and mind or situations will just hit us. When this happens, we can sometimes repair and then sometimes the outcome we have to deal with be it pleasant or unpleasant.

So apply whatever actions necessary for the change you want be it fitness, personal or professional but make that pace livable. And always have patience. Applying yourself in your pace 100% daily and not on overdrive because you are now organized that change is for certain happening.

Your Family Your Friends

That seems to be a lot of people, and it is. What the heck? These are the people we love. I’m gonna switch gears twice here the one being the attitude and support.

If you’re doing anything out of their vision expect little or no support. Be it fitness, an independent business, professional. They do not see the vision or if they do because of their limiting belief in themselves or fear they can’t see it for you. What they will see and it’s their future vision of you is “the fail”.

The support is limited or null, their talk with you will focus on what other options available to you for their self-satisfaction. Even if they begin to see steps of progression and change in your personality, and attitude (you’re positive and applying actions with some promising returns).

You’ll encounter numerous conversation of you changing because now you’re surrounding yourself with more people with like mind and are positive as well as supported. Are you crazy, this is not what is expected.

Keep moving in that positive direction. The family and friends not seeing your vision will always be there to see what will happen and sometimes they dissappear to return later. Why? I suspect you know the answer even if you at 99 and that one error will get their attention and that will be your conversation, not that 99 % achievement. Allow them to have that conversation, but alone. We can love them at a distance we can laugh with them, hug them but the unsupported conversation needs to squashed.

There is good there, a few will become interested and want directions to uplevel themselves and a lot will want to stay unchanged. We don’t have to allow the negative words of the family and friends hinder our progress. I use the words “we” and “our” because I am so including myself.

We keep elevating to our next level, we continue to love them always, communicate at a distance because we are stepping out to be ourselves. So today if you stopped or got off track, I need you change the gear and direction and begin driving in the direction of you.

My Challenge

I love working out. The benefits are great. I am more consistent in my home workouts. I know for many it’s the gym. I love the atmosphere and the machines. However when I finally realized I could save time and be more consistent I was a bit hesitant, but NOW…. I am overjoyed.

I get to workout at home easier for me to fit in my schedule, have a trainer, of course there are many but only one for now, that inspire me, give me tips and encourage me on my low days it’s just joy. Now to be honest I do hesitate sometimes when I know it’s a shoulder workout or triceps included. These are not my favorite muscle group. Nonetheless once I get started I give it my best and I’ve gotten stronger.

Your level of workout is not to be compared, but encouraged and motivated for you. We’re all different. Keep in mind intake meaning not just nutrition but hydration, sleep, stress (working out does assist in decreasing stress), strength ( beginners, intermediate, advanced); but every time giving the best of you and being consistent is what counts.

So if you’re a lifter or want to become a lifter, join me. Unable to be as consistent as you would like join me. Click on the link below. I look forward to us sharing our workouts

What’s Your Growth

This growth I’m talking about is your mindset. You can ALWAYS take the actions in elevating your level of Greatness. Just a reminder “ you are GREAT’.

But that daily reminder of your greatness, and positive listening to reassure you should be welcomed. I do listen to podcasts and I encourage you to do so as well. I also want to share my daily favorite. I get encouraging words, have a check off list at then of my day which takes less than 5 minutes and more. Uh huh I have growth prompts to question and inspire. With these prompts I sometimes have to dig into my mindset and reset. I know for many this is blah blah blah. Excepted not for you. For those in the world of elevation take a peek.
