You Don’t Need More Discipline
Here’s something you’ve probably said to yourself before:“If only I was more disciplined, I’d be able to… [insert life goal here].” Sound familiar? It does for me. I used to say it all the time whenever I’d hit a roadblock with my health, work, or personal goals. “Stop being lazy and start being disciplined,” I’dContinue reading “You Don’t Need More Discipline”
How Pizza Taught Me a Valuable Life Lesson
“So that’s two pizzas with extra toppings, two garlic breads, four dips, and a dozen donuts – did I get that right?” I cringed as he confirmed the order. “Yeah,” I said, sheepishly. “Great. It’ll be there in about an hour.” I hung up and stared into space. This was the third time this monthContinue reading “How Pizza Taught Me a Valuable Life Lesson”
Should You Ditch Your Phone During Workouts?
How do you feel about scrolling on social media during workouts? Personally, I think people would have a better workout if they avoided it. I’m not talking about intentional use, such as filming for a form check or to look up how to do an exercise. I’m talking about scrolling to fill time in betweenContinue reading “Should You Ditch Your Phone During Workouts?”
What’s Your “Say:Do” Ratio?
Here’s a powerful concept that can help you get more of what you want done this week: the “Say:Do” ratio, originally taught to me by my own coach.

How to Quit Less and Win More
The other day, I learned the second Friday in January is known as “quitter’s day” – the day where people are most likely to give up on resolutions they set for themselves. I can relate. I’ve been a quitter, too. When I think about goals I’ve given up in the past, most of them wereContinue reading “How to Quit Less and Win More”
Stop “Surviving” and Start “Thriving”
Have you ever found yourself saying “No worries!” as you take on another responsibility, even though there were lots and lots of worries? It happens to all of us. We want to be helpful, accommodating, and seen as a “team player,” so we take on more than we’re able to manage in various areas ofContinue reading “Stop “Surviving” and Start “Thriving””
“I Just” is Anything But
“I just…” Has anyone you know ever started an explanation for how they improved their health and fitness with that phrase? “I just started working out more…” “I just started eating less…” “I just started using this app…” But behind all those “I just…” moments are countless other lifestyle and behavioral changes that added upContinue reading ““I Just” is Anything But”
The Flow of Life
One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned from operating in high-achievement environments for over a decade is, “Not everyday has to be your best day.” Contrary to what we may believe, what we’ve been taught, or how our environments nudge us, we don’t have to be everything to everyone. You don’t even have to beContinue reading “The Flow of Life”
The Story You Tell Yourself
“The story I tell myself matters, so I’d better tell myself a good story.” This is one of the most impactful lessons I learned from a mentor of mine. In practice, it means how we think about ourselves and our capabilities lays the groundwork for our behaviors. Here’s an example you might have heard before:Continue reading “The Story You Tell Yourself”
