Hey there. A lot of times, the most obvious things we talk about are the most profound. These are the things that truly lead to change. Today, I want to talk about something that has the power to reshape your entire outlook on yourself: how to develop a positive self-image and self-perception.
Hey there. When I first heard about the anti-diet movement, I was excited. It seemed like a direct pushback against an industry that thrives on marketing to our insecurities. The fitness and beauty industries, in particular, have built their success on making us feel like we're never quite enough. So, the idea of a movement rejecting all of that? It felt refreshing.
Hey there. Life moves fast, and if you’re not careful, it can drain you before you even realize what’s happening. In today’s world, there’s constant pressure to keep moving forward. Pressure to do more, be more, achieve more. But here’s the thing: If you don’t take the time to recharge, eventually, your body and mind will force you to.
Hey there. For the longest time, I believed I needed permission. Permission to take a new direction, to make a change, or to fully embrace the life I wanted to live. But the truth is, no one is coming to give you the green light. You don’t need anyone’s approval to start moving forward. You just need to decide.
Hey there. Every body is unique…every single one. While we all share certain physical traits, it’s the little differences, the so-called "wrinkles," that make us who we are. Ironically, these are often the very things we fixate on and critique the most. If you’ve spent any time in the fitness and weight loss space, chances are you’ve scrutinized your body to the point of exhaustion, tearing yourself down over perceived imperfections.
Hey there. When most people start a new eating plan, their first instinct is to cut back. They immediately focus on eating less, removing certain foods, and restricting their intake in hopes of losing weight. While calorie deficit is necessary for weight loss, the approach I recommend is the reverse: addition before subtraction.
Hey there. When it comes to tracking progress on your fitness journey, it’s important to step away from the mindset of relying solely on the scale. While weight can be a data point, it doesn’t tell the full story. That’s why I believe in using a structured approach that includes multiple forms of progress tracking and aligning them with your minimum daily action goals and weekly evaluations.
Hey there. We all have an ego. It’s that voice in our head that places us at the center of every story, convincing us that we’re right, that we’re justified, and that the world should bend in our favor. And while having an ego is natural, letting it control our perspective can keep us stuck, repeating patterns, avoiding accountability, and blaming external circumstances for where we are in life.
Hey there. Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns. Some seasons bring clarity and excitement, while others feel like an endless storm. But no matter what, I truly believe we should trust that we’ll figure it out. We should believe in our ability to adapt, grow, and follow through on the things we want to do.
Hey there. Just because you’ve heard something over and over doesn’t make it true. That’s especially important to remember when it comes to weight loss. For years, you’ve been told that you need to lose weight as quickly as possible, that you should follow rigid plans, and that your success is determined by how well you stick to “the rules.” But if those rules aren’t working for you, it’s time to question them.
Hey there. You see it all the time. People becoming completely consumed by their workouts, meal plans, and the pursuit of their ideal body. It’s understandable. Fitness culture often pushes the narrative that your ability to maintain discipline in your diet and training is a reflection of your worth. But I’m here to tell you: your active lifestyle is not the most important thing you will ever do.
Hey there. Embarking on a weight loss journey is a commendable decision, and it's essential to approach it with the right mindset. One common challenge many face is the anticipation of immediate results, especially when regularly monitoring weight. It's important to understand that the efforts you put in between weigh-ins might not always reflect instantly on the scale.
Hey there. Confidence isn’t something you wait to earn. It’s something you decide to have.
For so many people, confidence seems like this elusive thing, something that only happens once you've accomplished enough, proved yourself enough, or finally feel like you belong. But here’s the truth: confidence is a choice. It’s not built from a series of external wins. It’s built from an internal decision to trust yourself, right now.
Hey there. When it comes to eating and exercise, most people overcomplicate the process. We hear about “optimal” diets or “perfect” workout routines and think we have to follow them exactly. But the truth is, if you want to build lasting habits, you have to start with what you’re willing and able to do right now.
Hey there. Do you ever catch yourself getting offended by something someone else says or does? Maybe it’s a passing comment, an opinion you don’t agree with, or an action that doesn’t sit right with you. If you take a step back and think about it, why is it that we let other people’s words and actions control our emotions, dictate our mood, and sometimes even change our own opinions?
