One of the most insidious (but seemingly innocent) barrier that gets in our way of creating change is the notion that we have time. That we can start tomorrow, or when the kids get back to school, or when work settles down, or when we finish that one project. When the house renos are done. When the puppy is trained.
I'll stop bringing work home with me when I'm done this one project.
I'll start exercising when the weather gets better.
I'll be able to be more present and spend more time with my family when work settles down.
I'll eat all the things today to get it out of my system so I can start fresh tomorrow... (yeah... like that ever works!)
Like Annie says "Tomorrow is always a day away".
We KNOW that time is a limited resource. It's finite. Yet we act as if its not. We act as if we will always have time, and as if it's ours to waste.
Join me for some real talk and to get inspired to take action NOW (like right now) on the things that are important to you. I'll guide you through a few action items/ journaling questions to help you get the ball rolling.
And, THANK YOU to everyone who has left a review on iTunes. You make my heart smile!

We are either motivated to move way from something we don't want (a push goals) or toward something we do want (a pull goal).
Both types of goals have their utility, but for long-term success, whether its in weight loss, your health, business, finances or relationships, we want more PULL goals.
The action steps might be the same, but the feeling is so much different.
In this podcast you'll learn:
1. What push goals and pull goals look like (lots of examples)
2. WHY we want pull goals, and
3. How to shift your perspective and move forward with more motivation, excitement and consistency with pull goals

I recently posted on social media:
Full disclosure: I don’t always “stay on track” on vacation. But when I do, I always feel so much better and consequently enjoy my vacation so much more.
Move my body with intention 🏋️♂️. It helps that Keith and I are on a 7-day competition with our apple watches 😬 Either a short workout, but ideally more play-like activities (yesterday was a bike ride, this morning a paddle). Movement it the magic elixir to make you feel better and builds up the desire to engage in more healthy habits.
Eat well🥑🍉🥗. Nothing complicated (our nutrition programs at Ascend are super simple). More veggies, some protein and fats. Less junk. Indulge in treats that are actually worth it. Most aren’t.
I hope this helps you on your journey!

Change is hard.
Adopting a healthy, fit, lifestyle is hard.
Saying no to the temptations is hard.
Getting up early to workout when you don't feel like it is hard.
Staying the course when you don't see immediate results, or when you plateau is hard.
But so often we unknowingly make things much HARDER than they need to be.
I'm not saying that what you're doing is easy... it's not. But it doesn't need to be as hard as we make it.
And I'm right there with you- I was falling into these two traps and making things much harder than they needed to be. And when you're in it, it's really difficult to recognize that you are!
Join me in this solo, post-workout recording after my own 'ah-ha' moment.
I hope this helps you on your journey!
