turn up the heat, baby!!
is it just me?!
or do you feel like you’re forgetting something??
like you need glasses. recipes suddenly missing an ingredient. names forgotten. constantly double checking the calendar.
what day is it anyway?
wow...is it seriously the end of January 2021? and wondering — will we be wearing masks (or double masks?!?!) next January too?
this. my friends. is. stress.
and stress is cumulative. (!!!)
it’s been a long year....depending on the industry in which you work, life has drastically changed — and FITNESS has changed forever, in many ways for the better. there are more opportunities than ever before to fit health & wellness into your lifestyle.

honestly, whatever works for you to stay motivated is awesome!! private personal training is all about accountability, really.
but what about managing the stress? are you doing ok? how are you dealing with this big anxiety cloud hanging over our heads?!
here are some
simple steps for self-care:
“motivation” is a made up word for routine. no one is motivated every day, even me. put exercise in your calendar & stick to it. period. it’s not rocket science.
give yourself a break. like every day. take some time away from the desk for a quick walk around the block or some of the stretches I’ve shared. it makes a huge difference. we are living through unprecedented times....it's a huge adjustment to share space with people 24/7.
breathe. it’s free & allows your body & mind to truly relax. inhale the positivity & exhale the negativity is so true.... plus did you know that ten deep breaths is considered meditation? yes!
finish each day writing down the “five best things that happened today...”. share it with your family:) I started doing this in my immediate family group text chat and I do think it feeds off itself.
reach out to friends. forget the messaging —pick up the phone. hearing someone’s voice is reassuring.
yawn deeply & draw the alphabet with your toes to stretch the feet when you wake up.
drink a ton of water...especially first thing in the morning breakfast.
fuel the fire—combine dense nutrients for four mini meals during the day. too busy? plan ahead then. food prep is a thing—it saves money & brain power in the end.....can’t happen every day but if you plan ahead & are working from home—this will help you to prevent that starving feeling.:)
massage your ears. pressure point for anxiety, just saying...;)
turn off Netflix & go to bed earlier. sleep is the most important thing with all of these daily distractions.
have a great weekend.
