Summer FOCUS & Shifting Our Mindsets

What is it about Summer that helps us all take a breath and sigh?

We crave different foods and different movements than we do in the winter. I know somehow my mind has more space to think and dream.

It's evident that our environments impact us in ways we may never know and in more obvious ways like the weather.

It's all in mindset: motivation that is.
That's how it is helpful to be in community with others and not striving on our own.
I wouldn't have done the triathlon on Saturday if it wasn't for someone asking me and challenging me to do it.
I wouldn't have done my first full marathon without Mark showing me how to create a training schedule.
I wouldn't have bounced back after having my two kids without the support of groups.
And I KNOW I wouldn't have shifted my view and mindset on food with the Made to Crave group last summer and subsequently stuck with it over this past year.

Coaching and community allow for new growth and although I may not be where I want to be yet...I'm way farther than I would have been by taking the time to step into the opportunity to help others and to be in community with others.

Summer FOCUS Challenge group is in pre-season week this week and officially starts next week. Each month I run a free group with relevant topics and provide resources for others and once a month I participate and facilitate online accountability groups to foster community and motivation.

Don't sell yourself short. There's more to growth than just reading out it. The secret is in the ACTION.

Summer FOCUS Group

Did you know that almost HALF of all chronic diseases can be prevented through a healthy lifestyle? You, know, good nutrition and regular exercise? Then, why are Americans becoming increasingly obese and sedentary? I think it's because we aren't making the connection between our choices and disease risk.
Even if you have a personal reason TO lose weight and become more active, HOW do you fit it into an already busy schedule? It's not so much the WHY, but the HOW.
That is where the Summer FOCUS Challenge fits in. ALSO we often focus on those things that we feel we cannot do rather than on what we WE CAN do.
This is a group meant to zero in on a Summer FOCUS that enhances and encourages what we CAN do. We receive support from one another and step forward.
FOCUS is really all about determination. Here are some ways to gain FOCUS in your healthy lifestyle:
  • Set specific goals.
  • Be realistic.
  • Set reminders.
  • Schedule workouts.
  • Keep a journal. 
  • Prepare for obstacles.
  • Get accountability.
  • Talk to a coach/mentor for help.
During the Summer FOCUS Challenge, I will be helping you with all of these things mentioned above. We will have both 1:1 coaching and group accountability. You will learn to set specific goals (not just, "I want to lose weight," but rather, "I will lose 10 lbs by August 31." You schedule workouts like doctor appointments; you just don't miss! Prepare that there WILL be times that are not ideal for staying with your healthy eating plan. Preparation can help you overcome. Accountability will get you back on track. WE WILL STAY FOCUSED for 35 days...and that's just the beginning.
​Making lifestyle changes is similar to remodeling your house. It will go much better if you have a plan. Even making small increases in your physical activities will be beneficial to your overall health. But, you need a place to start. THIS IS IT. I have the plan.
