The SECRET to Making Things Happen Feb 02, 2020

Show notes

Wanna know a SECRET? I don’t like using that word in the title of my podcasts! But in this particular instance, it’s totally apropos.
There’s a secret to making things (like your fitness goals) happen, and it’s this: You have to give yourself PERMISSION.
And, yes, I know that sounds a little silly, but here on the Fitness Matters podcast, we dive in deep on even the silliest topics. Especially when they’re not silly, but could, in fact, be the thing that’s holding you back.
So, let’s talk about:
🤫 How you’re likely following SECRET rules and need permission to stray from them
🤫 Why giving yourself permission is much HARDER than it sounds, and
🤫 The reason your brain NEEDS permission
My friends, there is no goal beyond your ability, but it might be (currently) beyond your permission. Have a listen and put this thought into practice!

So, let’s dive in!
Today, I’m sharing
👍 How to tell the difference between FACTS and OPINIONS (plus a little side note about how they both differ from LIES)
👍 A simple test you can run on yourself to differentiate
👍 Some amusing and illustrative stories from my own experience
👍 The next steps to ridding yourself of unwanted opinions

Show notes

Here we go with Part TWO of the Making Successful Resolutions series (that only has two parts, LOL)!
Okay. You wrote out your awesome and amazing list of this (now past) years’ accomplishments and you are ready to rock ‘n roll with making your 2020 RESOLUTIONS, right?
Great! Here’s what you need to do next:
✨PICK SOMETHING✨
It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Well, if it was simple, it wouldn’t be a topic for the Fitness Matters podcast!
Here’s the thing about picking something - it’s harder than you think. Most people, when making New Year’s resolutions, end up
👉 Using language that’s way too vague
👉 Try to pack in too many things
👉 Putting the “how” before the “what”
👉 Settling for less, or
👉 Using comparisons
So, let’s chat about what you need to do to PICK SOMETHING. Grab that pen and paper again, friends, because there’s another list to be made!
