(Note: This article was originally published on my gym’s blog back in 2017, but was recently mentioned on our podcast here. Have a listen to learn some valuable strategies for tracking metrics!) Your brain is a liar! Our brains lie to us every day. Don’t believe me? Check this out for 10 minutes, or skip […]
Continue reading "If You Want Results, You Must Do This!"I think I might be in the midst of a transition – between who I was and who I’ll be next. I like to think I’ll be many different women in my lifetime if I say “yes” enough! Granted, every moment in life we’re changing to some degree, but at age 31, I’m feeling a […]

Funny; when we feel like we’re winning we describe it as being “in the groove” or “on track”. When we’re feeling loserly, we say we’re “in a rut”. They’re all the same thing. We live life in patterns. The only difference is whether or not the track, groove, or rut is traveling in the direction […]

This is the trickiest lesson I’ve yet to learn. Grit. Determination. Discipline. Stick-to-it-iveness. People seem to want to invent new words to say the same things, but I got the message a long time ago. Sometimes overcoming obstacles or achieving anything requires a stubborn commitment to never giving up. But I wish I could find […]

A quick Amazon book search yields over 60,000 results for “time management”.

(I began writing this article in late December. I had no idea that the censorship debate would be thrust into the flames before this would go live. This article was intended to be a warning, and before I had a chance to publish it, we were all witnesses to the very abuses that I attempted […]

“Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing.” -Epictetus “I’ve concentrated upon the […]
