Hey, hey, !
Happy Thursday! How the heck are you? Is your Christmas shopping done yet? If you're not finished just yet, there is no judgment here.
I will be done by the end of the week. I've done quite a bit of it online and some in the stores. I love the fact that it's not last minute this year, lol!
We are still more than a week out from Christmas, so all is good!
So, 1 thing before we pop into the email situation for today...
Over on the gram @beauty_of_strength, I am doing 12 Days of STRONGMAS. If you like to follow along, check them out here, and if you aren't following me there, be sure to do so. I hang there the most these days… posting content and sharing and chit chatting on stories!
The last three days of STRONGMas:
Tempo Squat:
Time under Tension (TUT) method that places greater demands on the quads.
I also share strategies on how to make your squats more challenging if you don't have more weights to progress the squat.
Sit Throughs:
One of my favorite core exercises, makes me feel like I'm break dancing, lol! It's a fantastic core exercise! Work your core without crunching!
Bodyweight Lunge Variations:
4 ways to make your Lunges more challenging without adding weight!
Now, let's get into “underneath it all”…
It's a game-changing situation for your success and consistency!
It's something that creates the backbone of every single one of your "wins!" Pretty much in every area of your life.
It's your HABITS… STRONG HABITS.
"We don't rise to the level of our goals; we fall to the level of our habits." – James Clear.
Powerful, huh? Good stuff!
This is the time of year that folks start gearing up for the New Year by setting goals and New Years Resolutions, and that's great and all.
BUT ... without the right habits to back them up, those goals most likely aren't going to amount to much.
So, I want you to keep these things in mind as you start to write down your goals, actions, intentions, etc. for the New Year:
What are YOU currently doing most of the time consistently? Things like:
- How you start your day
- What you eat for lunch
- Parking near entrances or far away
- Daily Walks
- Your training sessions
- Your overall food choices… building balanced meals on the regular.
- Your nighttime activities/routine
- What time you go to bed, and what time you wake up
- Reading books or watching TV.
- Keeping your water intake in check
- Etc.
Ya feels me?!
Now, go through your habits and PINPOINT the ones that are actually contributing to the goals that you want to achieve or that you want to improve on.
Also, look at the ones that need an up-leveling!
Now, you know I am all about taking things one step at a time. So, no need to overhaul all the things at once. Just choose one or two things to start with!
The goal is to up-level your habits to the "level" of your goals.
That way, when you DO reach those goals because I know you will. Guess what? You'll be able to MAINTAIN them; they'll be SUSTAINABLE, thereof you'll be CONSISTENT!
If you want, I'd love for you to hit reply on this email and lemme know what habits you're gonna improve on or build upon starting this month, not at the start of the New Year, but NOW for a lil accountability!
In Strength and to Your Success,
Xo
