So tell me… how is that progress coming along? Did you stop and take inventory of where you are to begin like we talked about two weeks ago? Or did you think,
“Yeah Erin, that’s a great idea,” then finish going through your emails and promptly go on with your day?
If that was you, you’re not alone
In fact, the reason I’m writing this to you now is because that’s the exact pattern I slip into if I’m not careful.
Read MoreAre you sick of all the gym, meal plan, and weight loss advertisements yet? Are you ready to throw your (too many) resolutions at the window? Are you overwhelmed from the overstimulation of the holidays and the “excitement” of a new year?
If so, you’re not alone.
To be completely honest, “New Year, New You” is one of my least favorite phrases (it comes right behind “Get your Body Back after pregnancy”).
Read MoreHere we are again at the closing of a year. How are you feeling?
Do you feel excited about the year to come? Anxious or stressed about what you didn’t accomplish this year? A bit nervous or hesitant (because let’s be honest, these last couple years haven’t exactly gone as planned)?
Do you feel nothing? (Cue music from A Chorus Line)
First off, I want you to know that whatever you feel is okay. You may be a big “New Year’s Resolutions” person, or you might not. Or, you may be somewhere in between. Wherever you land- as long as it’s right for you, it’s right.
Read MoreLet’s be honest- I’m all about taking progress pictures. That being said, I’ve always hated 30 day “Before and after picture” competitions. Cough, excuse me, challenges. But that’s what it is, right? A competition.
I’ve always been frustrated with 30 day photo challenges because while we see two pictures side by side, what we don’t see is the whole picture. We see the before picture, the after picture, and read a short snippet how life has miraculously changed in 30 days… but what about the rest of the story?
Read MoreOver the years I’ve noticed a pattern emerging with my one on one that I never could have seen coming. In fact, when I first noticed it, I thought it was a fluke. But year after year, my emerging theory has been proving more and more true.
The people who stuck with their goals started in February.
It’s never “too late” to get started. Don’t let the calendar tell you when you are allowed to start working towards yoru goals. Every day is the perfect day to get started.
Read MoreHave you ever wanted to do something for yourself, but thought you didn’t have the time?
Do you constantly put taking care of yourself LAST on your to-do list (and never actually get around to the bottom of the list)?
What if you didn’t? What if you commited to ONLY 30 days?
Here are 7 things I learned from commiting to 30 days of yoga… for me.
Read MoreWhat if I told you that you could change your life in less than 10 minutes a week? Would you believe me? Probably not.
But guess what, I can. And I know I can, because I do it ALL THE TIME!
Seriously.
And the best part about it is that not only does it take less than 10 minutes, but it doesn’t take a lot of work either. All you need is a pen, a notepad, and at least 10 minutes of quiet to reflect.
