Where is the time?

It is so often said, "I don't have the time".  

The thing is, though, we always make time for the things we NEED to do. 

If our family member was sick in the hospital, we would find time to be there with them. 
If our child needed to go to appointment, we would find time to take them. 
If someone we loved asked us for help, we would find time to help. 

But when it comes to taking time for OURSELVES, we don't have our find the time.

Ultimately time is an excuse to not start something new. 

It's something that we say we don't have because it's not easy, it's not quick, it's not something that were used to making room for in our life. It doesn't mean we don't have it or can't find it if it was a priority.

So when does health become a priority?
When do we become a priority in our own lives?
When do our goals our dreams become a priority if they are not already the easy option?

The answer is, only when we make it a PRIORITY. 

Stop saying I don't have time and switch the script to: it's not a priority. 

How does that feel?

Change can seem hard, but the trick often is to just take baby steps. Making the decision to change and committing to a process, that's the hardest part! ♡

Find the resources and support that works for you, and lean in. 

You are worth the effort. 

Be your own priority.

160 Kilometer Challenge

 As defined by the Cambridge English dictionary: Challenge (noun) something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability. We face challenges every day, by choice and circumstance. For the remainder of the year, I am setting myself the challenge of moving 160km (100 miles) of intentional and trackable distance. Not just the amount my FitBit records from everyday life. For me, this is a challenge of  - physical effort - time - accountability and consistency I too often let myself do less than I am able. I make excuses and allow myself to forget my goals (anyone else?) I'll start the month strong, but then "things happen", "life creeps in" and suddenly it's the end of the month and I am no closer to what I wanted to achieve. I am ready for a change, though, in my approach and my results. I am ready to dig deep and do what I know I CAN do, and accomplish what I WANT to, because coming out ...

Fitness is NOT One-Size-Fits-All

In my workout today the trainer said "Focus on the weight you lift, not on the weight you lose" Read that again. So often we start workout programs to lose weight and to be a smaller size. What if we flipped the script and challenged the societal expectations and did it because it makes us feel: - strong - empowered - happy - sane I want to be able to lift and carry my children for as long as they ask! I may not always say yes, but I don't want my no to be because I CAN'T! Focusing on the act and the benefits of the moment can really help shift your mind from a result.  Live in the journey, not for the destination.

Update Your Goals

 Even with the best of intentions, and the best-laid plans, sometimes life doesn't go as planned. I started my 160km challenge back in November. I hoped to accomplish most of it before Christmas. I am currently just over halfway through at 85km. Am I disappointed that I didn't do more and accomplish more at the end of 2021? Certainly I am. Am I going to give up on the goal and challenge just because it's taking longer than planned? Certainly NOT! Adjust the plan, and set new intentions. If it was something worth planning for once, and is important to you still, then see it through, even if it takes longer than planned. I feel like that is the theme of 2021 for me. Setting goals that are important, but not accomplishing. So, it's a new day, and that which is still important, is just that. Still important, and therefore still worth working on and towards.  I am committing to myself to not give up, no matter how long it takes to accomplish my goals. Whether it be tracking ...
