Is It Time

There is a time for many things even in the fitness world as well as our personal lives. How do we know when to change well, there are a few factors. Lets just go through a few, but PLEASE be fair you decide if it applies to you or if you have additional factors do not neglect.

In fitness:

1. Is the program one you can build strength

2. Do you enjoy your workout? How do you know well

A. Do you enjoy the workout

B. Will you commit to the consistency of the workout.

C. Do you get excited about the next workout (this does not mean you’re running from the burn or intensity)

D. Can you follow through, sometimes a few of us may have to modify before we can commit to the full routine. This is okay, just don’t stop.

3. If you have to think hard then you may want to either evaluate your workout program and routine or evaluate your commitment to you for you.

On a personal level. Let’s see. I’m speaking on letting go of associates that are negative, non-supportive and forbid on those that drain the energy and use you only as self-serving. Of course we cannot expect 100 percent on everything in support. Actually, I’d prefer a friend or associate to let me know when I maybe in error on an action and yet support me in my corrective action.

We don’t need to be on the same journey, be it personal, professional or fitness; however, we can still motivate and support. We don’t have to be in the same social groups, income, professional, ethnicity to receive the positive and motivational support. This is for those that associate with you to their advantage then separate when evaluating themselves. Only need you for specific and yet it is so easy to stay connected, but why.

Let it go. Know those that are fully there for you and those that hold you for their selfish support and NEVER reciprocating positive, motivational, inspiring support.

Yep, evaluate FITNESS and PERSONAL and you decide – “Is It Time”

Erase The Guilt

Go ahead and do it. Erase that guilt. As we evolved into a higher level of ourselves, it’s so easy and I mean so easy to look into yesterday, yesteryear and beat upon ourselves for the mistakes. Things we thought we knew or and things we did that was not applicable to the situation.

This is how we evolve, mistakes. Mistakes that are not illegal or harmful. Did they hold a few of us back? Of course. But to continue on we have to erase them especially if you are reflecting on the mistakes too much.

Erase and move on. How well every time you think of mistakes you know held you back, refocus. Quickly focus on all the positive energy and positive action that has you where you are today. I’m sharing and expressing because this was a lesson for me; and I don’t want you to dwindle in your past mistake.

It’s time to erase the guilt, you’ve learned and grown. Okay hand clap. Erase that guilt and get to moving on in your new growth. I’m applauding you. Now gone get.

How My Fitness Journey Has Educated Me

Never thought I’d get a learning experience in / on my fitness journey. Here are a list of things I’ve learned

1. Stop comparing yourself. Sometimes the comparison will stop your progress because you’re waiting to be the image of someone else. Instead you can use their image and routine as an inspiration

2. Know your own strength and know your strength will fluctuate. I do keep a record of my lift in my workout program. I once would get frustrated when I was unable to lift heavier or the same as the previous week. Our bodies respond to sleep, nutrition, stress, illness, fatigue. What’s important is to give your best in each workout.

3. The scale can be a friend and an enemy. It shows you the weight change; joy when there is a decrease. It does not show how good you feel after a workout, how your mindset has changed with higher levels of positive behavior, energy increased, that proud glow you now have that so many are wondering what’s going on in your life. The scale doesn’t share the inches you’ve lost, remember so many people shed inches before weight. How about the change in your nutrition and let’s not forget the increase in water intake. And the toning, muscle gain you’ve eliminated fat, nope not on the scale.

4. Learning to be a greater you, and still enjoying those around you. Learning when to accept or reject certain people all for your good. This is growth.

5. I’ve learned and I also this will not apply to many, but a few minutes of daily meditation to begin my day has increased my commitment to my fitness journey.

6. Now it’s your time. How has your fitness journey educated you. Not on a journey and still debating?, hmm it’s May baby I can assist just complete your contact information and we can talk. We will only communicate via email.

Where Are You

Being on a fitness journey, it’s good to check in. What’s really great if you are on a positive team, and an accountability partner. I have several.

Accountability partner is not to bang you or critic you, but to assist you to a GREATER you in goals. Not to negate the road you travel, but to support the road you travel, to add words when you’re in doubt that erases those doubts. Oh the joy and love of that accountability partner. As mentioned I have several and a team. But how about you?

Sometimes we think we don’t need anyone, but corrected- you do. We sometimes think we are strong and yes we are, BUT how about being STRONGER.

So again I ask, “Where are you”

It Is A Journey

Most of us are on some type of journey. The journey can be fitness ( which is a favorite of mine), or it can be personal or professional. They all have similarities. Yes the goal or goals of each will be different.

The similarities is the journey. That journey will go straight, up a few hills, down a few slopes, around a few winding roads , then straight and there it is. The ULTIMATE peak. You’ve reached that goal.

Hooray, applaud yourself, look in the mirror and smile, shout out how great you are and then…..

Make plans for the next one. Yes get that list together and set actions into place. Why??, well you’re a champion you gotta keep moving.

As of now be proud of this moment now get to moving. Oh by the way, I’m cheering for you now move.

It’s All Belongs Together

What, what? Let’s chat and just briefly. We discuss or share an accomplished goal, we talk about the grind how we had to push through to endure the path and then we’re done with the conversation.

Huh, I say to you. You’ve missed a few things. You’re sharing a piece of your journey.

Put it All Together

Discuss and share the grind, (you’d be surprise how your grind and push through can inspire others). Sometimes people feel alone and knowing someone shares the bumps, thumps, hills on any journey be it fitness or personal. Share, love and support, ( we can or I know I can use it)

Now the greatest of it all is, “how are you applauding yourself”. Share with yourself, shout it out, look in the mirror, smile. This is not a selfish act. Okay you got it, put it all together. Your Greatness is not to be overlooked.

Yes, It Begins With YOU

This is quick and all about you. You give, you so much for and with others.

You’re on a journey for change, ENJOY it just remember it all begins with you. Self Love

Self love

Sometimes We Have To Listen

Shhhhhhhh………………

I had a conversation I thought was a bit confusing and it was at first until I listened. What was it? Well, believe it or not It was super simple. I was thanked for just listening. Yes, a friend shared situation and circumstance and it was extended and I just listened. What actually happened she was able to actually figure it out and stated later her energy had returned and was able to get focused on her goals in life once again.

Sounds good, she explained most people she spoke to begin to interrupt and inject their stories then directing her what to do without hearing her out. WOW, so easy to do. But they never listened to her.

Shhhhhh…….

Sometimes we just need to listen. Sometimes listening is so great when people can hear their own voice and begun aware of their mental health setting and what they need to do. Of course, a few are shy of seeking help and at the end we can gently guide them there. However, for many a mental health review just having someone to listen, not compare, inject, JUST LISTEN.

So today I ask of you are you a listener? or an injector or maybe taking over and discuss your situation instead of really listening. I am now evaluating myself as a friend and listener. However, I must say listening does not mean to allow someone to discuss and drain you of energy. If you note negativity being high, I say Shhhh and ease away from the conversation and that’s for your mental health.

You decide your stance.

What’s YOUR Fitness Journey

Fitness journey

I’m just curious, really what is your fitness journey? I hear many speak of fitness as I want to loose weight for an event or to impress someone and many to look like someone else. I’m not sure this is a journey, why?

Well, not to be judge mental, but there is one element missing and it’s huge. Yep you forgot about You. If your fitness journey is short timed “an event” or to impress someone or look like some, which is a hmmm. But will visit this in a few.

How are you impressing yourself. Regardless of your size, age you gotta begin loving and appreciating you just as you are. Yep right now, this moment, today. Accepting your Greatness as you are will allow you to deeply become aware all changes are for you. “You are GREAT”. Impress you, look at all your accomplishments then smile.

Ok, looking like someone else because of their fitness physique isn’t so bad, but remember they didn’t accomplish their look in a week. It was a journey. Are you ready to put in every detail that individual has, including the workout hours, the nutrition and sometimes a few extra supplements? Are you?

Your Fitness calendar created by you

Your fitness journey should be detailed for you, then you become the boss of it. Days and time limits you can actually commit to. Be realistic. Both will change as progress change. Be certain to tweak your nutrition as well. Now this is a must, regardless of your choice it is an upmost, yes you have to ….. Have Fun. Having fun doesn’t mean you will not sweat or say a few words not normally in your vocabulary. It’s just the journey and Now, it is your fitness journey. You’ve taken control and charge as well as accepted you and you’ re AWESOME add that to your GREATNESS.

Spring Up Your Change

Hey now. So many people including me are always moving on our spring energy. That energy where we do a bit more cleaning, tossing out adding new to our house, wardrobe and just changing.

NOW, we do forget to change our self. That change is not just an external appearance but our internal self. Our mindset, our actions on mental happiness.

Trust, if your mental health is off you’ve already placed a time limit of your gains; regardless to what they are. If you’ve limited your mindset on the Greatness of you once again you’ve limited your gains.

This year 2024, how about taking the time to cleanse your mindset. Toss out all those limiting beliefs. Check your mental health. Have you or are you living the life that agrees with your strength, your happiness, your intentions or all they guided by someone else who really have no idea of you.

Remember the spring change of you is not a one step change or a one day change. Believe in you first, know you, have patience. Then apply the action or actions in agreeable to you. We’re not all the same so a different action and approach my be necessary than your BF.

Listen, be adaptable and receptive to the new spring change and then….. Watch your bloom, I can see and feel it now. You’re beautiful, handsome and that smile is just gorgeous.

Spring Change is beautiful.
