Let’s Face It…NONE of you reading this are AVERAGE!!! . Some days it seems a lot easier to settle for average and well no doubt often….it is! On the other hand sometimes we do need to settle for average in certain areas of our life so we can focus on the areas that we really want to or need to be great. When we decide where we are not willing to settle for average then it makes it a whole lot easier to accept where we will accept average! It took me awhile to be OK with being an average housekeeper, an average cook and even an average mom at times.
We all have a superpower or two. What is your superpower?!?! When you take care of yourself, your health and your over wellness you often gain the energy and the desire to tap into those superpowers!! Those superpowers are the gifts that you were given to make a difference in this world! Don’t forget about your superpowers and what YOU need to do to keep them at their best!!!
Check out may top Five tips to help you Stay Strong and keep those superpowers alive!
1. Drop the ALL or Nothing Mindset! We create self sabotage so often with this mindset. The All or nothing Mindset is equivalent to trying to run a marathon at sprint pace. You don’t just wake up one day and run a marathon. Running a marathon and running well requires months of training which includes interval training, speed training, hill training and cross training. Create a plan and take things one step at a time. There will be set backs and having a plan will make it that much easier to stay on track!
2. Be Consistent! One of the biggest reasons people struggle with injuries, lack of motivation and health issues is lack of consistency. It is much harder on our bodies when we start and stop and start and stop than if we keep going even if its at a slow rate. If you do take a hiatus from fitness then make sure to come back slowly and give your body a chance to rebuild and give your mind a chance to enjoy what you are doing instead of dreading how hard it is going to be. Invest in a program that is right for where you are and what you need!
3. Choose Premium Fuel! It still amazes me how so many people overlook the impact of what we put into our bodies can have on our bodies! I love pizza, ice cream and jalepeno margaritas which gives me even more reason to make sure that I am eating plenty of veggies, healthy fats and healthy clean protein to give my body the ability to detox the toxins that I do enjoy! Everything in moderation but food is the BEST medicine!!!
4. Make a Plan! After planning my kids school schedules, activity schedules, my work schedule, life around my husbands schedule the LAST thing I want to do is plan my own weekly health, fitness and life schedule! But over the years I have definitely learned that things go a lot more smoothly, I am more efficient with my time, I am happier and I set myself up for success when I have a weekly plan! Taking 15-20 minutes to make your success plan for the week can make all of the difference.
Which step above resonates with you??? Remember YOU are not average!!! SO take the steps that you need to this week to recharge your superpowers!
Have a great week and we hope to see you in the House!!!
