[00:45] How Allison Pelot Got Involved In The Health and Fitness Space Allison did gymnastics her whole life and even went to college on a gymnastics scholarship. Eventually, Allison graduated with an exercise science degree. When Allison was an athlete, she would eat lots of carbs and low fat meals. Down the road, Allison began to understand nutrition much better. After having kids, Allison started personal training as an independent contractor. Over the years, Allison has helped people navigate the physical and the energetic aspects of their lives. [11:05] You Need To Listen To Your Body and Create Space For Healing There is a vicious cycle of needing to fix things all of the time. We are taught things like “no pain, no gain" in the fitness industry.” However, Allison says that we need to listen to our bodies and create space with ourselves. Have more patience with yourself because the body has a unique rhythm. Tap into your body’s intelligence to allow healing to take place. [18:30] Reacting vs. Responding: The Power of Choice Is In Your Hands There are going to be times when you react to things. Reacting to everything in life means you are living in survival mode. When we can take responsibility for ourselves, it will create less anxiety. We all have the power to choose how we respond at the moment. Have intention behind your choices and responses. If you don’t have a choice, then you will never be able to create the life that you want. [23:00] Clean Up Your Stinking Thinking Through Meditation and Positivity Your thinking has been passed down from generation to generation; it’s time to break the chain! One way to break your thinking patterns is by meditating in the morning. Allison recommends checking out Abraham-Hicks: https://www.abraham-hicks.com. If you find yourself thinking negatively, you need to figure out how to get out of those thinking patterns. Train your mind to create focus on what you would like to improve on. [31:00] The Importance of A Morning Routine and Prioritizing Yourself Your mornings should be sacred. Wake up earlier and prioritize time for yourself in the morning. If you have dreams, take a moment and write them down. The morning is a great time to tap into the energetic part of yourself. Gratitude journals work so well because they will change your focus. Be with yourself and do what your soul calls you to do in the morning. [37:15] The Inspiration Behind Finally Thriving: Your Guide to Empowered Wellness Allison felt like she was holding on to too much information, and she needed to share it with people. During the pandemic, Allison saw many things in the media about health that just didn’t make sense. So, Allison wrote a book to bring simple health and wellness tips to help people find more focus and thrive. Get Allison’s book!
