👉🏼I know that I have to show up for myself before I show up for others
I’m at my best when I feel centered and taken care of, and I have a lot of people that depend on me to be my best, so I can help them be their best 🙏🏼
I take care of myself because I know if I don’t, it not only affects me, but my marriage, my family, my clients, everyone I interact with.
Being a coach means being a leader, and if I’m expecting my clients to prioritize their health and fitness goals, that starts with me 🙋🏼♀️
👉🏼I put my goals on the calendar
Giving yourself a goal with no specifics is like saying “I want to be a millionaire!” but then never launching your startup. So I shifted from “I would like to workout 4x this week!” and hoping I would magically land under the squat rack, to block off time in my day to ACTUALLY get it done 😅
Now, my workouts are scheduled next to my meetings and the reminders to pay my bills, right beside my other non-negotiables 🙌🏼 I don’t flake on my meetings or on paying rent, so scheduling my lifts right next to high-priority tasks is a reminder that it’s not okay to no-show myself either.
👉🏼I’m working smarter, not harder.
Being a one-woman-show means that I always have a to-do list a mile long, so I need to be as productive as possible since I never have enough hours in the day, so I cut corners where I can 💃🏼
I don’t meal prep, I break up my step goals into 5-10 minute segments throughout the day and my training sessions are about 45-60 minutes long 4-5x per week.
All in all, life's too short to not do the things that make us happy, and I love every role I have, so I always find a way to make them all work together in my own version of a perfect harmony ❤️ Now tell me, how do you balance your fitness goals with your life? 👇🏼
