As we begin the new year, I’m reflecting on how As we begin the new year, I’m reflecting on how grateful I am to have spent the holidays with loved ones this year. As it was for many people - it was a very hard year for me. I hid it down pretty deep. The pain of all I experienced started to eat at me from inside, hurting my spirit, my soul, my sleep, my self image, my confidence, and my sense of hope. And I buried it down deep and struggled in silence. I have a great therapist. I have wonderful friends. I have loving family. But I didn’t reach out or expand, I went deep within. I felt like I’d lose trust, that I’d burden others, that I’d lose the thread of grasp I had left on “normalcy”. I’m not one for resolutions but I do like to have a general theme for the year. This year’s intention and theme is vulnerability. Showing up messy and letting people know where I’m at. Showing up imperfectly and knowing the people that love me will still love me. I welcome you to show up, too. I welcome you to workouts with bed head, to show up imperfectly, to show up scared and vulnerable, and to trust that you’ll be accepted and loved by people who care - including me. Cheers to an imperfect new year and to being human.
The diet industry is running MASSIVE ads on social The diet industry is running MASSIVE ads on social media right now. Millions and Biions of dollars are budgeted to target YOU right now. Seeing these ads pop up in your timeline repeatedly is a technique called Intrusive Advertising and the repetition can have an impact known as “Exposure Effect”. They drive a message down hard into your mind and continue to do so until you’re left questioning or doubting yourself. Take a deep breath. Let that shit go. The purpose of the ads is to make you doubt yourself, to make you feel bad, etc. Don’t let it work. Who wants to invest in anything that bullies them? We might not think of marketing this way - but it’s exactly what they’re doing. So, if any invasive thoughts have popped up due to incessant advertising, fads, weight loss schemes, junk science, etc - please know that it’s THEM and not you. You’re fucking perfect. You are worthy. You are loved. You are incredible. You are smart. You are kind. You are brave. You are strong.
I haven’t been as active on Instagram lately but I haven’t been as active on Instagram lately but I’m absolutely still offering zoom personal training, Strength Camp, Integrative Wellness Coaching, etc. I do also see some people in person - with proof of vaccination and masks. I have excellent cleaning protocols and air filtration. If you’re looking for ways to move, without going to a large gym, perhaps I can offer another way. Weight-neutral, trauma-informed, adaptive fitness for all.
In a world that stresses “all or nothing” - I In a world that stresses “all or nothing” - I want to reiterate and confirm that it’s ok to move with no goals, or just for fun, or just a little, or awkwardly. It’s ok to make stuff up, to explore, to just do the thing that might help you feel a little better, maybe just for a few minutes. What if we could remove the idea that movement isn’t categorized by how much you sweat? What if it was about how your low back felt looser when you were done? Or that your mind felt clearer? Or that you let go of some anxious energy or anger? Or that you just moved a little to “move”, with no goal? Or to connect with breath or body, regardless of “steps” or “rings closed”? What if you realized that the best kind of movement is the movement that’s the best kind of movement for YOU? On any day. At any time. Any style. For any reason or with none. You do you. I honor that and meet you there with love and respect.
Throwback to last week when my wife and I celebrat Throwback to last week when my wife and I celebrated our anniversary at @phleavenworth . Highly recommend! What do YOU do to celebrate milestones in your life or in relationships?
Last week, I posted in my story about how I was ex Last week, I posted in my story about how I was experiencing burnout. It felt so deep, exhausted in my bones. I had pushed my body, mind, and soul far further than I should have before I took a break and it lead to me feeling resentful, scared, alone, and worn out. I learned so many things about myself. I learned to set better boundaries, to make those boundaries clear, and to not over-give. I also learned that talking about this struggle to balance the things of life - is sooooooo common. Talking about it yielded DOZENS of messages from people feeling the same way. Entrepreneurs who had felt the same things. Service providers who felt chewed up and spit out by the “go go go” nature of pandemic life. I want you to know that you’re not alone if things are feeling difficult. I’m on the other side of that burnout, gave myself time to relax and decompress - and I support you in doing the same, however that looks for you. We aren’t alone. Sending big hugs or high fives to you today. Do something nice for YOU today.
