Fitness From The Ego To The Heart

Fitness From The Ego To The Heart

I’ve been sharing insights and teachings about holistic health and fitness for 20 years. What I’m seeing now is a resurgence of people who are really excited to learn how to get healthy. This is exciting to me because there’s a new energy to it. It feels curious and childlike.

In the past we’d will ourselves to exercise and punish ourselves if we ate something we deemed bad or feel guity if we didn’t work it off in the gym.

Now I’m seeing that mentality fad away…

and more people are gravitating towards a healthier mindset as it relates to their fitness and nutrition. A more balanced mindset. They’re being led from their heart instead of their ego and I think thats so beautiful.

Create A Beautiful Body With Accountability

,

I think accountability, which is the act of being responsible for one’s self, is a practice and depending on where we start and how well we know ourselves, it’s a process.

According to Brene Brown accountability is connected to courage. She explains since accountability opposes blame, we can see how not having accountability can keep us in a victimhood state of mind. One that paralyzes us and keeps us in shame without being able to move forward and find resolution.

I’ve gone through this myself and with many of my clients. Accountability is hard and most of the time we need someone to walk us through it if we’re not sure where to start.

My New Years Reflection; What We Make Other People

My New Years Reflection; What We Make Other People

It's not the New Years resolutions that are the problem, it's that what we think we're resolving is not really what needs to be resolved.  Reflection of self has to happen first before anything can be resolved.  Will power has nothing to do with it.  In fact, using will power to push through something you really don't want to do is not only unhealthy, it can be potentially damaging to the physical body. 

It distracts us from something deeper that's calling out to us for attention.  When we ignore this call, resistance is created and then failure of not following through comes next.  This could be why so many people only make it a few weeks.

5 Simple Strategies For Increasing Your Metabolism

When I talk to my clients about nutrition initially, the first question I ask them is,

“How frequently are you eating?”  

They usually say not frequently enough and some even admit to waiting up to five hours between meals.

Could the key to a healthy metabolism really be as simple as food frequency?
