What do you want more of? Do you even know?
I experienced a really big milestone recently — I passed the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) exam to become a certified personal trainer. The last few months have been study, study, study… all while “regular” life was going on. I'm normally really good at...
How to get Clarity On Your Goals
Do you know what you want? Last week I shared a post that was about going after what you want and my intention was to expand on that to help with getting unstuck and moving forward, but then I wondered: When it comes to your health do you actually know what you...
No, you can’t be a health coach! ?
That time when I was really stuck and what I did about it... I remember awhile back, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to be a health coach. And then I wrote a big, ugly “NO” under it. I literally said no to myself. Then I listed all the reasons why I shouldn’t. I...
If you’ve ever said, “F, it!”
Most mornings I get up and do what's called morning pages; stream of consciousness kind of thing that's just for me. It's all great and wonderful that I have my sacred journaling time, but I don't want to be alone with my thoughts. I have a sense of urgency and...
My Struggle with Discipline ?
I hear and say (ahem, used to say) this word all the time: discipline. "I need to be more disciplined. I need to follow structure and routine and rules." I don't struggle with it when it comes to food and eating. I have standards, it's easy. I know what works for me,...
4 Steps to What You Want
I still remember the moment when I was journaling one early morning and I wrote, “I have a great relationship with food. But I have a horrible one with eating.” It occurred to me that they’re not the same. Ding, ding, ding!! ? Food brings me joy; makes me feel...
The Case for Life Math
Ever heard of the phrase "Life Math?" I didn't coin the phrase, but I've had a case of it this last month where the numbers aren't adding up! Meaning there's more stuff going on than I "have time to do." I've missed sending you these messages. I've been launching...
What kind of person are you?
I’ve been thinking a lot about choices and using this phrase to help me through tough times – “I’m the kind of person who ________” Fill in the blank according to the situation. When I’m at the gym and I have that last rep to do: I’m the kind of person who does low...
For the men… no guilt at being human
In 2017, I wrote a blog post called “No Guilt at Being Human.” I used to be a busy, stressed, martyred, perfectionist who felt like what I did was never enough. My commitment in that post and at that time of my life was to: write more; have sex more; laugh more; not...
