Refocusing on YOU and 100 Reminders About What’s Most Important!
What are your best practices??? These are things that when you are doing them you feel really good like life is complete. When you are doing these things, you are moving closer towards your dreams, you are achieving your goals and feeling your BEST. These practices help you be the best version of yourself. For me this list includes spending quality time with my family, exercising regularly, eating clean, getting enough sleep, spending time with my friends, listening to podcasts, using my gifts and talents to make a difference in others lives, and having fun!!
Sometimes a series of events, an occurrence, or a period in our life can pull us away from our best practices. Sometimes we let go of some of our practices for a little while because of where we are at a moment in life. However, when we let go too long, that is when we risk our health, our happiness and our ability to feel and be our best for ourselves and those around us.
I made a list this weekend of my BEST practices, what I am doing in my life when I feel my absolute BEST. I looked at what I am doing, what I am not doing and what I need to be doing. As I was doing this a friend and coach sent me over this list written by Robin Sharma. It came at the perfect time! I love to read things like this because they are simple reminders yet they are always received differently depending on where I am and what I am facing in life. I like see what points really resonate with me at the moment. There were many in this one! Take a few minutes to read the reminders and see what resonates with you! What best practice have you been putting aside that you need to put back in your life? What can you do this week that will help make a healthier, happier, better you?????
- Great to be successful. Even better to be kind.
- Being productive is an excellent vehicle for happiness.
- It doesn’t really matter what others think of you–only what you think of you.
- Do your work like it’s the most important work in the world. Because it is.
- A superb reputation takes years to build–and minutes to lose.
- There’s no point in being rich but sick.
- Adore your parents. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.
- If you’re not making things better you’re making things worse.
- Being optimistic and enthusiastic never goes out of style.

- Until your vision becomes your obsession, nothing ever changes.
- Enthusiasm is contagious.

- Don’t just parent your children–develop them.
- Success is less about luck and more about practice.
- What you give away comes back to you in a river.
- Money is the inevitable consequence of value delivered to other human beings.
- To have what few have, do what few do.
- Think for yourself.
- To have an amazing company, hire only amazing people.
- Being happy makes you more productive, creative and exceptional.
- Don’t be selfish. Too many people think that’s cool. It’s not.
- Remember that your environment shapes your thinking, which drives your performance.
- Loyalty in one relationship breeds loyalty in every relationship (including the relationship you have with yourself).

- Read my blog post “Don’t Stop Believing” when you feel like giving up.
- Being scared is part of being alive. Accept it. And walk through it.
- Know that every massive achievement began with a humble beginning.
- Aim for the company of icons. Playing small with your talent is disrespectful to your potential.

- Stop beating yourself up for not being perfect. No one is.

- Don’t be a critic. If you have nothing encouraging to say, stay silent.
- Potential unexpressed turns to pain.
- Measure your success via your impact, not your income.
- Life’s best pleasures are life’s simplest ones.
- Growth happens when you push past your comfort zone.
- If you don’t believe you can achieve something then you won’t do the work to achieve it and so you won’t get it and then you’ll say “see, I couldn’t achieve it.” Belief is that powerful.
- Gratitude is the antidote to fear.
- Action is the solution to procrastination.
- Dream big. Start small. Act now.
- As you become more successful, become more humble.
- Say please and thank you and sorry when you should.
- Don’t wait for lucky breaks. Go make your lucky breaks.
- I learned from Warren Buffett that extreme achievers focus on the value you’ll receive versus the cost of the product.
- As I teach at The 48 Hour Transformation every June: “Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.”
- Watch the documentary “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”. It will inspire you to be the Picasso of your industry.
- Persistence is more valuable than intelligence.
- No one will believe in you until you first believe in you.
- As someone said to me at one of my presentations a few years ago: “Health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the ill person can see.”
- Build your entire life around just 5 priorities (your “Big 5″). Any more and you’re diluting your focus, time and talent (and sabotaging your success).
- Cut yourself some slack. No one’s productive all the time. Farmers plant seeds and then let the field sit fallow for a season. That’s when the real growth happens.
- Be honest. People will trust what you say, sell and do.
- Hard work is a force multiplier.
- Be kinder than necessary.
- Fears you run toward run away.
- Look for the best in people and they’ll reach higher to deliver their best to you.
- Less talk. More do.
- You become your conversations. Choose your associations extremely well.
- If you take yourself too seriously, no one will take you seriously.
- Just because you couldn’t do it yesterday doesn’t mean you can’t do it today.
- In the end, we never regret doing what was difficult.
- Life is short. Help more people.
I truly hope these 100 reminders inspire, challenge and serve you. Thank you for reading my blog, being a part of this movement and making our world a better place.

MORE for YOU!!!!
When I decided to come Out of the Basement and into FitHouse, the BIGGEST reason was because I had a vision that was A LOT larger than my basement. Part of that vision was to become a wellness source for other busy families in the community and to be able to offer as much support possible in the areas of exercise, nutrition and improving the quality of your life! Now there is a team of coaches who shares that same vision. Day by day we are working on ways to make exercise, healthy eating and better lifestyle choices more accessible in your life! Lindsay is building the workout section on Zenplanner. We want you to be at FitHouse where we can share our energy with you and help you maximize your workout but we also get that some days that just can’t happen. Now you can use the workout section in Zenplanner along with the You Tube channel that we are building to get quality workouts even when you are not with us! We will also be adding monthly challenges and leaderboards to this section as well!! Check it out on your Zenplanner App!!!!! Thank You Lindsay!!!!!!

NBC STRONG Premeire Party at FitHouse
Click on the Link to Check out the trailer. It looks AWESOME!! >>> NBC STRONG
Most of you have heard me talk about my mentor, Todd Durkin! He is a top pro in the fitness industry and is an all around leader in health, fitness, spirit and life! I have been following him and learning from him for about 15 years. I was honored to become a member of his Mastermind team about 3 years ago. In that time I have had the opportunity to get to know Todd, his family, his Fitness Quest 10 Teammates and his circle on not just a professional but personal level. I believe that Todd is different than a lot of fitness professionals because he truly walks the walk that he talks. He is a life changer because he fights to create harmony in life, he holds himself to the highest standards and he encourages, motivates and drives those around him to do the same. He searches for Purpose in life and fitness and wellness are a part of that journey but definitely not the only part.
One of Todds BHAG’s (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) in life was to be on a television show or have his own where he could make an impact on hundreds of thousands of people. He was finally ready to write that one off when finally this past year his dream came true. He was chosen as a trainer on the new NBC series STRONG!! He has shared some of his journey with us and WOW what a journey it was!! I am super excited to see the IMPACT that Todd makes in the new NBC STRONG series and I wanted to bring some of that energy and excitement to FitHouse and shar eit with ALL of YOU!!!! We have decided to host a premiere party on Wednesday, April 13th for the opening of the show!!! It will be a great way to get over the hump for the week and have a lot of fun with your FitHouse friends. Here is what the night will include:
