Summary

As we come to the years end, I know some of you might be frustrated with where your fitness is at right now. Maybe you thought your fitness journey would be different, maybe you thought you would have seen better results right now or maybe you've developed an unhealthy relationship with fitness. Whatever it is you might be feeling, I wanted to put together an episode outlining a few things that I've learned throughout my fitness journey that might help you look at your fitness from a new perspective.

What I discussed:

Progress is NOT as linear as I thought it would be.

Your progress is going to be up and down. This is a normal aspect of the process. If you're going about changing your body in a healthy way, you're not going to see rapid results and you're also not going to see constant results.

Your mind will take you further than your body can alone.

Everyone is capable of showing up for their workouts 3-5 days a week. Everyone is capable of consistently nourishing their bodies. The difference between the people who do and the people who don't is their mindset.

Not everyone is going to support you or understand you and THAT'S OKAY!

In fact, that is MORE than okay, sister. You don't anyone's approval to stay committed to your goals, other's opinions and feedback on your dedication to your goals also don't matter.

Sometimes, showing up is all you can do.

What matters the most is you show up. All you have to do is show up and honor your body with movement…whatever that movement looks like today.

You can't follow your fitness plan perfectly at all times…don't judge yourself for it.

It's all about being consistent with movement, not about perfectly executing your fitness plan. Focus on honoring your body daily, not executing on your fitness plan perfectly.
