Your training, your health, and most everything in your life is not additive. The saying less equals more can often be applied to your health and fitness, but often holds true across any area of your life. Do you ever find yourself struggling to achieve the results you want despite throwing a lot of time, energy, and money at the problem? If so, you might need to start reframing the way you look at achieving the results. What if instead of having to spend more time, energy, and effort - the answer was actually in what you needed to remove? This is commonly the case with my coaching clients looking to achieve the results they want in their health, their body, and their life. Listen up to today’s show to find out why a subtraction mindset might be the answer you’re looking for.

Social media has the ability to be a great tool when used correctly - however it’s also highly addicting. Most people don’t have clear boundaries when it comes to social media usage, and this creates all sorts of problems associated with high usage. I recently took a little over a month off of being on social media. This is something I’ve done several times before, and every time I do I always learn something new from it. Listen up to today’s show to learn my takeaways from my time away from social media and how I’m trying to use it moving forward.

I think it’s safe to say that 2020 has not started the way that you thought it would. It’s a crazy time, and if you set goals for 2020 at the beginning of the year - there’s a good chance you’ve had to throw them out the window (or at least pivot or adjust course). And whether this year has turned out to be one of unexpected blessings and a transition you’ve taken in stride, or a year that’s been a real struggle and a challenge - it’s not too late to refocus. As of the recording of this episode, we’re right at the halfway point of 2020. As long as the last 6 months have felt in some ways, we still have 6 months ahead of us to make the most of this crazy year. Will you choose to be reactive and take what life throws at you for the second half of this year? Or will you choose to make these next 6 months the best of your life. The choice is yours, let’s talk about 20 tips to help you finish this year the right way.

https://www.insideoutsp.com/5-steps-to-achieving-big-goals

1. Set a goal, or set an intention
2. Reflect on the first 6 months

4. Get clear on your WHY
5. Prioritize your health
   1. Focus on sleep and stress management
6. Prioritize your relationships
7. Ask for help or find a mentor in an area you need help
8. Seek accountability
9. Be okay with changing goals and changing plans
10. Practice gratitude
11. Let go of control
12. Learn a new skill
13. Look for ways to serve and give back
14. Get creative

I hope this was helpful for you guys. I know how hard it is to stay grounded and stay grateful when our plans change or when things don’t look the way we thought them up in our head. BUT, that doesn’t mean it’s too late to still make the most out of this year, and have an incredible year. Don’t fall into the trap of people saying that they can’t wait for 2020 to be over or that they hope 2020 just disappears. Don’t wait until 2021 to get ‘refocused’ - the time is now. In our challenges is often where our greatest growth lies. Use challenges and setbacks as an opportunity to grow in ways like never before. It’s not too late to make this your best year - we are not tied to our circumstances.
