Warrior Mentality

As a personal trainer this rings the bell 🔔. Not everyone has a high level of motivation all the time, especially in the early mornings or days you just feel off. But the truth about motivation is usually it just takes a motivation talk/speech or video, music, quote, podcast, caffeine, goal reminders, and anything else that peaks your mood to make a change. BUT motivation isn’t what drives the change in your life, it’s habit. Motivation can go up and down and can be changed by the little things, but our habits are continuous and consistent. It’s not always about getting motivated to live better and start exercising or eating healthier, it’s about making small changes in motion consistently. So yes motivation can have a part and can even make us want to change, but motivation alone will have us stopping halfway through or first day in. As a trainer I firmly believe in SMART Goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely). Whatever your goals are it’s important to start small and build the habits, start with the first dominos to create the chain movement instead of going for the middle or end. What roadblocks have you run into or have kept you from achieving your goals? Needing accountability and planning? DM us for more info on Online or in person training!

We wanted to share this post highlighting Inflammation in the body and Main Street wellness has some great methods of helping manage your inflammation!
It’s so important to see the signs and take action when your body is suffering. Inflammation is an important way for our body to tell us something is UP and needs attention.
Here is just a few ways we personally like to manage our inflammation issues:

Massage therapy 💆‍♀️- By improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting lymphatic drainage, massage can decrease the production of inflammatory chemicals and help the body clear out waste products associated with inflammation.

Diet 🍲- Adding in foods like leafy greens, berries, fish, or spices like Tumeric and ginger are just a few ways to help your body with inflammation.

Exercise 🏋️‍♀️- Getting movement in regularly can lower inflammation levels in the body by releasing anti-inflammatory proteins, and boosting the immune system!

Inflammation is extremely common nowadays and knowing how to fight it will help keep your body and mind at ease ❤️

Happy Warrior Wednesday!
