How to Enjoy, But Not Overindulge, Holiday Office Treats

Consistency vs. Intensity {Video}
Consistency vs. Intensity {Video}

Intensity often leads to burn out. Consistency, on the other hand, often leads to habits. And if we are what we repeatedly do, then success isn't an act but a habit.

The Physics of Dominoes and the Power of Momentum
The Physics of Dominoes and the Power of Momentum

Persistence, consistency and effort help us build momentum. And momentum is what helps knock over each subsequent domino. When we pick up speed, not only are we harder to stop, but it becomes easier to keep going.

You probably won’t get what you want in 30 days with 30 seconds of work or less. But it will come. And it will happen in a way that feels almost natural. Fun, even, if done the right way.

Are you following me on Instagram? It would mean the world to me if you did (and I promise I'll make it worth your time!)

Let me start by saying that I don’t condone the consumption of elephants. In fact, I encourage against it. - However, there is an interesting discussion we can have when prompted with what has to be a question of zen-origin: How do you eat an elephant? - The only appropriate response (of course) is “one bite at a time." - Anything is possible when you take things one step at a time. Try to do everything at once and you’ll get frustrated, discouraged, and overwhelmed. - If I were to ask you, "How do you look, feel, and perform at your best,” there’s a chance you would list out all of the foods you need to eat, the supplements you need to take, the workouts you need to do, the amount of sleep you need to get and so on. That’s a lot. - While you wouldn’t be wrong, there’s a better answer: you look, feel, and perform at you best, one bite at a time, one meal at a time, one workout at a time, one night sleep at a time. - When you break things down into bite-sized chunks (pun very much intended) and focus on getting just a little bit better than you were yesterday, everything becomes SO much easier. - Make your next meal the best you possibly can, or at least a little better than your last. - Make your next workout the best you possibly can, or at least a little better than your last. - Make your next night’s sleep the best you possibly can, or at least a little better than your last. - You don’t have to change everything all at once to enjoy the results. By improving on one meal, one workout, one sleep, you’ll start to feel better and you’ll build confidence, momentum, and you’ll make progress faster than ever. - #fitdad #dadbod #menshealth #womenshealth #fitat40 #fitat50 #fitafter40 #fitafter50 #fitnesslife #fitnation #healthandwellness #healthandfitness #healthymind #healthier #healthtips #fitdadsofig #fitdadnation
Motivation is finicky at best. It’s great to get you started, but habits keep you going. The change and transformation you want rests in your habits. - There’s nothing more motivating than progress. Consistency in your habits, your new habits, creates that progress.
It’s about that time where every “fitpro” and their mother promises rapid results with minimal effort all in the blink of an eye. - Admittedly you can get incredible results with small changes. The foundations of fat loss, muscle gain, or any other body composition goal are simple. They just take time. - Persistence, consistency and effort. That’s the name of the game. - Some days you’ll feel like you have it all figured out. - Some days, it’ll feel like nothing is working. - Both are ok. Do the best you can. You’re going to experience this chart 100 times over. It’s normal. It’s part of figuring out what works and what doesn’t. - Don’t stop. Don’t quit. Keep going. - Be sure to follow @precisionnutrition and read their original post that talks you through this chart. I’ve learned so much from them (their L1 and L2 certifications are the best of the best) and I know you will too! - #fitnessgoals #nutritiongoals #rochesternh #habits #progressnotperfection #justshowup #dontstop #headdownheartup
While easily one of my favorite times of year, it’d be wrong of me not to acknowledge how challenging it can be nutritionally. 🎄 Maybe for you it’s the countless holiday parties, gatherings, and assortment of daily treats from well-intentioned coworkers. 🎄 Or, it might be the mindless stress eating that comes from our to-do lists and holiday itinerary. 🎄 I’d even wager it’s the “throw the baby out with the bathwater" mindset that already has us talking about “getting back on track” come January 1 just because we ate a cookie or two on November 15 and we gave up on everything we’ve worked for throughout the year. 🎄 Whatever it is, every challenge creates an opportunity to come out faster, better, and stronger on the other side. 🎄 With the right set of tools and support, there’s little in this world you can’t overcome. 🎄 That’s where I come in. I created a Holiday Survival Guide with 8 different strategies to help cover almost any situation you may face. Each strategy is simple, actionable, and can be used whenever, where ever. 🎄 Naturally, it’s free. 🎄 Comment below with your favorite Holiday emoji (can you guess mine!?) and I’ll send you a copy!
There will always be plenty of reasons not to do something. 🔱 We’re hardwired to follow the path of least resistance. 🔱 When we learn this about ourselves, we can start to use it to our advantage. 🔱 In James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, he uses the analogy of a garden hose to show the difference between relying on motivation versus making it easy. 🔱 To paraphrase, if you have a kinked hose you could turn up the water to force more water through. Or, you could simply remove the kink so water can flow on its own. 🔱 When we rely on motivation, we’re likely to only do something when we feel like it. And I suspect you know how this usually turns out. 🔱 But when we make it easy, especially when we make it easy to get started, it becomes SO much easier to keep going. 🔱 Let me show you how to make it easy to get started.
