The Comparison Trap

<div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_OKjFwADwnLOfk-AjuHRSt37XpLfPhXiZnr6Dq1IkK7E7Jh89UiX4tHHVX8F4NXtxlRRp5YwHeft-4Hpls2IHOgCP3h2zKjhnGk6X3-t-3Q6bNK0iisOtx6n-xP68TFksZbf-yCCbNwr/s1600/Capture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="5 Gym Bag Essentials" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_OKjFwADwnLOfk-AjuHRSt37XpLfPhXiZnr6Dq1IkK7E7Jh89UiX4tHHVX8F4NXtxlRRp5YwHeft-4Hpls2IHOgCP3h2zKjhnGk6X3-t-3Q6bNK0iisOtx6n-xP68TFksZbf-yCCbNwr/s400/Capture.JPG" title="5 Gym Bag Essentials" width="395" /></a></div><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">I decided I was going to get out and share this with all of you! Why? Because I think that no matter what you do in your life, you’re always going to fall into this <b>COMPARISON TRAP.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">I want to talk to you a little bit about the <i>comparison</i> game and the importance of running your own race and doing things for yourself with your blinders on as well really trusting your gut and I feel like so often guys in business. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15.3333px;">I just had a bunch of mentoring calls with my coaches and a lot of them are new and they are starting out. One thing I really noticed was that so many of them were worried about the other coaches and what they were doing and the achievements that they had had within the first month of their business and they were really starting to compare themselves or comparing where they are at and where I am at in my business. The thing is, is that I have been in my business now for 2 and a half years. So, obviously my business is going to be a little bit different than somebody that just starting.</span><br />

</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The important thing that when you're starting a new business or a new anything that you want to venture out into is that you focus on what you have to do and the things that you can control and those activities that you can do and understand that anything is going to take time and activity. So if you for example just started your business and you have not been able to put this much time and creativity and energy into it and sharing what it is that you're doing, obviously the person that has more time on their hands is going to accomplish things a lot quicker in their business. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">But being fast is not necessarily the goal. The thing is you want to be consistent and you want to be steadfast. It doesn't mean anything if you shoot out of the gate and you're like a rabbit and a hare trying to reach that deadline but then you stopped short and you fall asleep, are not consistent. That person that is consistent day in and day out given the small amount that they can over time that person is the one that is going to be successful in reaching their goals. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmykFgWQgBoeQgGwAlDW_GhccMmRNptHERjnIwutoOUB7z4ISq9q3SthGvPjveg_hyphenhyphentuClcWwXrzYvpSdtoSHl30MG_hnlZVqmt5gzMjWD5VGZxKyLbKskurqr8IuGLMqXSl7c79jkdvpa/s1600/5quote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Comparison Trap" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmykFgWQgBoeQgGwAlDW_GhccMmRNptHERjnIwutoOUB7z4ISq9q3SthGvPjveg_hyphenhyphentuClcWwXrzYvpSdtoSHl30MG_hnlZVqmt5gzMjWD5VGZxKyLbKskurqr8IuGLMqXSl7c79jkdvpa/s400/5quote.jpg" title="The Comparison Trap" width="400" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">So, just remember that everybody is running their own race. Be proud of where you're at in your journey and celebrate those things along the way. The other thing is just realize that you are very special and you are very unique. And you're going to bring things to your business that other people are not. That's okay. It is okay to go on your way. It is okay to try things out. You don't have to do what everybody else is doing because you have special unique talents that you can share that nobody else has. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">You may watch other people that are in your profession. Or that guru or whatever it is that they do. I am sure that they are incredible and they are brilliant and they have a lot to offer. But at the same time, they don't have what you have to offer. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">It's really important to think about what you have that nobody else has. What are those special unique talents that you can bring to your community and really help serve them in whatever areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Think about being unique and to really think about using those skills that you have and putting them into your own brand and then closing the blinders off and just really going your own way. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Don't worry about what other people are doing. Bring yours special unique talents and gifts to your market place and that is where you're going to thrive. That's where you're going to see the most success and you're going to have so much passion because it's just what you enjoy doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Just remember be consistent. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. Never give up on your goals. They are important when they planted in your life for a reason. And it's up to you to act on them and to keep them present and to just understand that no matter what consistency is always what wins. Over time. Consistency is how you're going to accomplish anything that you want to accomplish.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Just continue to put your dreams and your goals at the forefront of your mind. Put consistent actions to them each and everyday. That is how you are going to achieve whatever it is that you want to set out to achieve.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

Now this month is a fresh start. It is not you against anybody else. It is literally you against you and what time and energy and effort you have into whatever goals that it is you wanted to achieve. That's the outcome that you're going to get in that place. Let's just think smarter. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

You're there for a reason. Your opportunity whatever it is was placed in your lap and just continue to act on it. I believe when great, great things are going to continue to open up for you guys.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

We are only as strong as our minds. As we learn more about food and its effects, the phrase, “you are what you eat,” becomes more true. We have five perfect foods to protect your healthy brain. Implement them into your diet for a clearer mind and a stronger memory.</span></b></div>

Blueberries contain strong antioxidants that are important for brain cell rejuvenation. Blueberries also contain bioflavonoids and phytonutrients. Bioflavonoids and phytonutrients increase memory function in the short-term and long-term. </span></b></div>

These fatty fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids which are necessary for transmitting signals between brains cells. Good communication between the cells is important for memory retrieval, mental health, and the prevention of dementia.Try eating fatty fish for two dinners each week or pre-make salmon to add to your lunch salads!</span></div>

Cauliflower, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli, and spinach should be implemented into your daily diet to reap all the nutritional benefits. These vegetables contain antioxidants, vitamin C, and carotenoids. Carotenoids are great brain protectors. Making vegetables as a side dish to every meal is an easy way to get more of these nutrients into your diet. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Yes! You can enjoy some tasty treats to improve your brain. We do not mean chocolate chip cookies, but there are some delicious options! Dark chocolate, apples, grapes, and red wine all share a common nutrient. That nutrient is a flavonoid. Flavonoids are linked to the improvement of brain function. That’s enough reason to enjoy an after dinner sweet treat or a glass of wine at the end of a long day. </span></div>

Too much caffeine can cause brain fog and restlessness, but 1 to 3 cups (a cup being 8 ounces) of coffee each day has been shown to increase attention span and reaction time. Stay within 300-400 mg of caffeine each day and you will notice an instantly more alert healthy brain. </span></div>

It is possible that the long weekend and food splurging at cook-outs knocked you off your fitness track a little bit, but that’s okay! Use a fitness journal to get back on track with your health goals. We have three great ways to implement a fitness journal into your everyday routine. </span></span></b></div><b id="docs-internal-guid-61bc77fc-aee3-1254-0e1e-0cf1087970b7" style="font-weight: normal;"> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />

You will need a small notebook or pad of paper that will fit in your purse or clutch. You will also need a reliable pen. If you want to get crafty, you can purchase supplies to decorate your fitness journal. I also suggest purchasing stickers or bookmarks as a fun way to note your accomplishments and successes. </span></span></div><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What do you journal?</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A fitness journal is different from a diary. It is not a place to jot down your random thoughts and emotions. It is a place to write down physical feelings, food intake, and activity levels. </span></span></div><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How do different foods make you feel?</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> When you are trying to get back on track with your fitness goals, write down the foods you ate while you were indulging. For example, if you ate a lot of chips, write that down and describe how they made you feel. Chances are; the junk food made you feel sluggish, irritable, bloated, and maybe even left you craving for more. Write down the physical symptoms you notice from food. Jot down how healthy foods make you feel as well!</span></span></div></li>
</ul><ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What was your activity level? </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Write down your activity level for that day in your fitness journal. If you went for a walk, played tag with your kids, lifted weights at the gym, or deep-cleaned your house, write down the type of activity you have done. This can help you remember different ways to implement activity into your life in the future. In this section, you can also note how you felt after the activity. Did you feel energized? Did you enjoy the activity? These are great questions to answer in your fitness journal!</span></span></div></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What do you do with your journal entries?</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once you get used to carrying the journal with you and writing down useful information, you will begin to notice patterns in your habits. You will see what days you are most active. You will be able to see how different foods make you feel. You may even discover an allergy or sensitivity that you didn’t know you had. </span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />

With the aid of a fitness journal, you will be able to read about how you feel. Remembering how you feel when you are being healthy versus when you are indulging in bad habits will motivate you to continue your fitness journey, even on your off-days.

3 Ways to Avoid Over Eating

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIK30Rbca2Jn1VpJsmRWts15KqvmZWXwStrDqe1sh9f2F2dMB9h5yFe6o9MFUd4NRXSSz6BgoM5nfUDU5PL-yexvGwhoMjh0Qu7ptewJst_24F8kxgDMZ6RpNNF8d4R-X9d3ng2LrqQgc/s1600/chips-843993_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="3 Ways to Avoid Over Eating" border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilIK30Rbca2Jn1VpJsmRWts15KqvmZWXwStrDqe1sh9f2F2dMB9h5yFe6o9MFUd4NRXSSz6BgoM5nfUDU5PL-yexvGwhoMjh0Qu7ptewJst_24F8kxgDMZ6RpNNF8d4R-X9d3ng2LrqQgc/s400/chips-843993_1280.jpg" title="3 Ways to Avoid Over Eating" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overeating is when a person continues to eat after they are full or if they are eating when they do not feel hungry. Overeating is often the result of boredom, stress, or a bad habit. Learning to overcome overeating will make living a healthy lifestyle much easier and will motivate your weight loss journey! Overcoming overeating is not an easy feat, but with these three tips and your willpower, you will kick this bad habit to the curb!</span></span></div><b id="docs-internal-guid-10aa4b6b-aae2-9d2f-7c34-bab0c879cbf7" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b> <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Eat Small Meals or Snacks</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Throughout the day, eat small meals and snacks that are abundant in healthy nutrients! Overeating is more likely to occur if you feel extremely hungry when you start eating. A ravenous appetite results in excess consumption of unhealthy foods because your body is trying to fill a caloric void with anything that is quick and easily digestible. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you eat small nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, your body will never get to this “starving” state of hunger, allowing you to make health-conscious decisions about what to eat! Carry some freshly cut vegetables with you or your favorite mixed nuts to make for a nutritious snack when you are feeling hungry. </span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you do make it to a ravenous point of hunger, drink a full glass of water twenty minutes before you eat. It will help calm your appetite, so you are less likely to binge during your meal.</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b> <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Purge Your Pantry</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another strategy to avoid overeating is to clean out your pantry! Everyone has trigger foods for overeating. A trigger food is a type of food that continually tempts you. For example, if you eat one potato chip, do you feel satisfied or do you keep eating the chips until the bag is gone? If you experience the temptation until the bag of chips is gone, chips are a trigger food for you. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b> <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Temptation can happen with all sorts of foods. Chips, cookies, ice cream, and crackers are all common examples of trigger foods for overeating. Purge your pantry of these foods. Donate unopened items to the local food shelter. Throw away all unfinished items. It seems wasteful to throw away uneaten food, but remember that this food is only making you unhealthy and is an obstacle in your journey toward a healthy lifestyle. Throw them away! It will be emotionally and physically beneficial to you. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b> <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Are You Hungry or Bored?</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you find yourself reaching for a bag of potato chips or a box of donuts, think about why you want to eat. Do you actually feel hungry, are you watching TV and craving munchies, or are you just bored? Learning to understand your physical need for food is important to lead a healthy life. Eating out of boredom or out of habit will not help your body. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b> <br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are bored, do an engaging activity for a while. Read your favorite book or take a walk around the block. If you still are thinking about food during the activity, you are probably hungry. In this case, make yourself a nutritious snack. An apple with peanut butter or carrots with hummus are great snacks to avoid an unhealthy episode of overeating. </span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />

Often times we set a goal because it sounds great and something that we really want to hopefully achieve at some point but sometimes that goal doesn't have the same meaning that it had maybe last month or the month previous and so it's really, really important that you make sure the goals have a meaning to you still. That sounds kind of crazy but it's so true.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> We think that we want something but do we really truly want it? Is it serving our purpose and our priorities?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div data-l10n-id="" style="font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

I am going to give you an example. One of the goals that most people that I come in contact with want to achieve is how to lose 10 pounds in one month. It's not really a crazy goal. You guys know that average weight loss in order to be healthy is about 2 lbs. a week. So 2 – 2 ½ lbs. a week you got a ten lbs. weight loss goal. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">It's definitely something that's manageable and it's realistic. It's something that you can achieve. So when you set your goals, make sure that your goals are </span><span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">realistic</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> and something that you </span><span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">achievable.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> As you can see with the 10 lbs. weight loss it definitely is something that is manageable and easy to achieve in a 30 day timeframe.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div data-l10n-id="" style="font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

</div><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: #262626;">The next thing is </span><span style="color: #f4cccc;"><b><span style="text-transform: uppercase;">you need to put action steps towards your goals</span></b>. </span><span style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

So you can wish for things to happen within your life. But really your goals are going to be achieved by following a plan and following through with the actions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div data-l10n-id="" style="font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

You need to have an exercise routine. You need to follow some kind of nutrition plan. You need to have accountability to your goals, motivation (serves the priorities), and a reward.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />
</div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">So find some kind of accountability coach or a friend that's going to hold you accountable and motivate you to reach your goals. You are also going to want to have some kind of reward in there as well. So that when you achieve these things on your daily, weekly, monthly basis, then you have some of reward or something that you look forward to. Those are your actions steps. Make sure that you guys set yourself up for success and understand what you have to do in order to achieve those goals. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div data-l10n-id="" style="font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Then you want to break it down into weekly then daily activities.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">For each action step you need to plan it out on your calendar. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">For example for a goal of exercising 5 days a week plan that out on your calendar for when you are going to accomplish this activity for each week of the 30 days.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> Then you're going to look at your nutrition plan and make a meal plan based on the nutrition recommendations and create a meal plan for the week. </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />

And you must have the motivation to do it! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

So it's like an agreement between the both of you to hold yourself accountable to your goals. And you guys can really do this in any areas of your life. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

I find it super helpful to write down three things that I did really well in the month versus criticizing myself and pointing out all the things that I didn't achieve because truthfully you're not always going to achieve all your goals and that's okay.</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span> <span style="color: #262626; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> You need to get used to really celebrating your progress and just being happy that you are moving forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div data-l10n-id="" style="font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Yup, that’s right. Never leave anything on table. Understand that there are seasons of push and seasons of pull in your business. When it is time to be bold, to really go after it and achieve what it is that you wanted to achieve! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you don’t achieve that specific goal at that specific time then sit back, re-evaluate and look back at what it was that you did well under circumstances! Then celebrate those achievements and set some new goals for yourself! That’s my FIRST TIP for you #Girlbosses - <span style="color: magenta;"><b><u>Be <span style="background-color: white;">BOLD</span></u></b></span> and <i><span style="color: magenta;"><b>chase your dreams and chase your goals!!</b></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My SECOND TIP is JUST DO IT. Just be like Nike and just do it. Believe that it can be done! Believe it can be done. BELIEVE in YOURSELF. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re thinking about doing something kind of like I have been thinking doing #Periscope (follow me @alyssaschomaker!) with you guys. I have just every excuse in the book as to why not to do it. I just decided to DO IT! There’s just so much I wanted to share with you guys and so that’s my second tip for you guys – <b><span style="color: magenta;"><u>JUST DO IT</u></span></b>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Have <b><u><span style="color: magenta;">GOALS</span> </u></b>and go out there. DO what you want to ACHIEVE and DON’T hold yourself back! Just do it. Often times I just act before I really think about the big decisions that I am going to make and I have just kind of gone with my gut and kind of LISTEN to that WHISPER and that is what I want you guys to do as well. To just do it! If there’s something you guys have been thinking of doing, just go out there and do it.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My THIRD TIP is to <span style="color: magenta;"><u><b>JUST HAVE FUN</b></u></span>. Have a positive outlook in life. Really try to enjoy those moments. Celebrate every single accomplishment. CELEBRATE what you have going on within your own life. And make life just an adventure and have fun doing it. We only get one life guys! And so I want to <b><i><u><span style="color: magenta;">make sure you are DOING WHAT YOU ENJOY.</span></u></i></b> Whatever it is in your life make sure you are having fun while you are doing it. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Make sure you’re having fun doing it – that is so important and if you’re not enjoying in your life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
FOURTH TIP is <span style="color: magenta;"><b><u><i>FIND OUT WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.</i></u></b></span> Find that thing that brings you PASSION and JOY and then create a living around that! It’s so important. Your career must be something that you are super passionate about! You never have to feel like you’re working a day in your life. And when that happens, it’s seriously amazing. I WANT THIS FOR EVERYONE! Because you can tell that I am just a really excited individual and I want everybody to just have fun and enjoy what they’re doing in their life.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My FIFTH TIP is <span style="color: magenta;"><u><b>VALUE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS</b></u></span>. When you own a business it is easy to get sucked in into your work and have resentment that you’re not spending that much time with your family or you’re not going enough time for your business. It is important to set business hours. Set hours that you’re just going to be with your family and then set hours that you’re just going to work. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Treat your business like a business with your family, and your faith being the priority that your business is centered around. Not the other way around. It’s so easy just to get caught up in trying to achieve diff goals and let the passion override what it is that we really, really want to accomplish. What you guys want to do with your business must be family and faith centered. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Make sure you guys are scheduling your family in there. I know that sounds super weird to think about having to schedule your family but it’s true. I schedule in everything that my kids have to do all the things I want to do with my husband, all my date nights and our weekends if you know in my business I don’t work Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I am there with my family. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It’s really important that you schedule your business hours around what’s going on with your family making sure each one of them have centered time that’s focus so that you’re WORKING SMARTER versus WORKING HARDER!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First thing I
did was--I went and I got some motivational tank on! I got one that says FOCUS ON
THE GOOD STUFF and got some pink shorts! Anything motivating – whether it’s
buying CUTE workout clothes or something that you feel really good in!! make
sure it motivates you to put them on and makes you feel good about you!!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNeEBQeaR-G2wEOQ5fg9YTvaYLkcvwXEUM3RvIu4ldJq_E00YD6wP5pvL2EqJO4hn_JeewWqJTtiHn7mRfbyV4l-ZtEMqB_01HyeWz4aPt5jU2_4L8GWoeP8lNsVKI7X0SEoXkambh4Wb/s640/blogger-image--1146304299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNeEBQeaR-G2wEOQ5fg9YTvaYLkcvwXEUM3RvIu4ldJq_E00YD6wP5pvL2EqJO4hn_JeewWqJTtiHn7mRfbyV4l-ZtEMqB_01HyeWz4aPt5jU2_4L8GWoeP8lNsVKI7X0SEoXkambh4Wb/s640/blogger-image--1146304299.jpg"></a></div><br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My second tip
is to FIND A WORKOUT THAT YOU ENJOY DOING! For me I like HIIT workouts and
I really love to weight train! Maybe for you, you like to do yoga or go on bike ride –
whatever it is that you enjoy doing – make sure it should be something to get
you going and designed to reach your goals!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My third tip is
to find a pre-workout energizer that you like! I started drinking one of these
energizers, it’s one of those pre-workout that’s all natural but when  I drink it I get so much energy and it’s
almost full proof that I need to work out afterwards! There are a lot of brands
out there on the market make sure it has clean ingredients. I like energizer by Beachbodies performance line. For some a cup of
coffee is a great pre-workout to use as well.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRJNn1LWm8YBFPb_WhYpvcj89llVtIRzNFa1iHFO5mk34S65Lq3KryUKXlrDxKdu6RdQYz450UofIcHCDTQvM2EcVbOzRcBzBRnO1U9vXnDbBeEHX3o_7ujsNILg-jW-Ca6MQIW2SrdZGC/s640/blogger-image--2022308318.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRJNn1LWm8YBFPb_WhYpvcj89llVtIRzNFa1iHFO5mk34S65Lq3KryUKXlrDxKdu6RdQYz450UofIcHCDTQvM2EcVbOzRcBzBRnO1U9vXnDbBeEHX3o_7ujsNILg-jW-Ca6MQIW2SrdZGC/s640/blogger-image--2022308318.jpg"></a></div><br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My fourth tip
is to VISUALIZE your GOALS. I really think that the key to your success if
visualization. I want you to visualize what you are going to feel like. What
are you going to look like, what are the things that you’re going to enjoy
differently when you reach your goals? </div>

understand that it is a journey and that there are things that you really need
to be celebrating all along the journey and not really set up yourself for
failure by setting goals that are not achievable. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So, really think about what
this is going to look like for your future. What kind of goals you want to
achieve and then break those downs into weekly goals that can make it
manageable and you can really celebrate your success and victory along the way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My last tip for
you is FIGURE OUT what that WHY is. Why do you want to make this kind of
changes in your life? Because that’s going to create self-motivation, and
there’s nothing like a self-motivator. You can have coaches, you can have
people helping you out along your journey and keep you motivated but you really
have to have that internal jive. Have that controlling why in your life that
will keep you centered and pick you back up on days when you fall off.  Not every day is going to be perfect, you are
going to miss days in your training. You are going to eat less nutritious food
and it is really up to you to determine that that does not define who you are
or your end results.</div>

<br />
It is not for everyone.<br />
<br />
It is a little frightening as I certainly am no expert and definitely have had my fair share of Sins in my time.<br />
<br />
See--- having a strong faith is something I didn't have for a long time in my life.<br />
<br />
I mean I believed.<br />
<br />
But, I never had truly surrendered.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until I hit rock bottom and invited the lord into all areas of my life that I realized that the lords path for me is much more beautiful then I could have ever imagined.<br />
<br />
I realize that it is the start that holds people back from ever beginning.<br />
<br />
We rely on our own strengths to see us through..to get things done, to avoid temptations, etc... but what I have learned, and what I feel has been a HUGE component of my success in business and in my relationship has been learning that I NEED to rely on God to guide me and provide me strength to overcome any obstacle that may come my way.<br />
<br />
I am learning to let go and let God.<br />
<br />
I know my mess is part of my message and by sharing my obstacles and how I am overcoming them can be a vehicle for change in others.<br />
<br />
And this is the idea behind my SUNSHINE in your SOUL faith + fitness<br />
