Life is a head game. Let's face it. Why would working out and changing our behaviors be much different??? How many of us look at the clock during workingout... and tell ourselves... "okay 10 mins left... so that is 2 mins 5 times..." Or "I have twelve reps... that is only 4 reps 3 times." We are mentally prepping ourselves.We are breaking the larger picture down into smaller, more accomplishable steps. It helps us to not be overwhelmed. If you struggle and need this processing, know you are NOT alone. This mental prepping is often very helpful with implementing changes. In other words, if you want permanent changes... I encourage you to make small, healthy, sustainable adjustments in your life.

Let me know if you've got questions!!!

How cool is this?!?!?!?

This is a good reminder... especially with all the anger surrounding us lately. Let that s**t go.

This helps pick up my mood.

Surgery sucks. I have been so limited on what I can do... and yet I have been doing what I can. I keep moving. Not giving up. It gets discouraging at times... but I am slowly progressing!

Attitude of gratitude ♡
My mindset today

If there was ever a time to be bold, it is now. Your mind and heart will generally agree when things are right. Don't back down from living the life you want to live.

I can't emphasize enough right now that stress levels are high. Our surroundings are a chaotic mess and emotions in general are elevated. All this stress is not helping you. It makes you more likely to "catch" a virus illness or cold. Stress weakens the immune system, tenses muscles, increases blood pressure & heart rate, narrows airways (harder to take a deep breath), and messes with your hormones.

So what are you doing to lower your stress levels? Need ideas?
• Take a walk
• Deep breath for 2-5 minutes
• 🧘‍♀️ Meditate
• Stretch
• Do something you LOVE to do... paint, draw, create
• Exercise
• Pray

The general purpose is to release body tension and the heaviness from the mind. Be creative. Do what is good for you♡

I just read that there are about 1 in 4 kids contemplating su***de right now. That breaks my heart. This is not okay. Can we just please spread a little kindness and compassion? Our kids need us to be better examples.
There needs to be a little more love♡

➡️ You are loved. You are important. You are not alone.

This! You are what you repeatedly do.

6 years together, 5 years today since we said our vows, and 3 years since we made it all legal. We have fought battles together that most people will never have to face. We irritate the s**t out of eachother but love eachother more. Here's to facing life's battles with your best friend, lover, and spouse. May God continue to refine us and bring us closer together.
