What's your plan for 2023? Making a plan and setting goals can be overwhelming, but it doesn't need to be. Goals need to be realistic and attainable. When we set extreme goals, we feel defeated early on, and that leads to negative self esteem, and the tendency to give up. When we set small goals that build over time, we feel a sense of achievement and encouragement to keep moving forward. If you have a resolution,a determination or intention, to feel better and be healthier in the new year, take that next step to making it a reality. There are lots of options available to help you achieve those goals. Click the About tab to see upcoming events and available packages, or reach out to me to design your own and get started!

SO excited to share with you some new things that will be coming in the new year! I will be offering 2 different fitness classes online!! One will be a lighter 45 minute cardio weight training class, a light overall total body and cardio workout. The other is going to be a more intense 30 minute HIIT type class targeting specific areas each week. This class can be modified for different levels, so don't be discouraged by the word "intense". You will need your own weights for the classes and a stretchy band. It's not too early to start planning for the new year!! If you are interested in participating, I need your input. The light cardio and weights class is being offered through my job at The Chi Hive, so that class is always offered at 10:00am on Tuesday mornings and will be available to join in beginning tomorrow! The 30 minute HIIT class is still in the works and does not have a set time yet, although it will be an early bird special. Would you prefer a start time of 6, 6:30, 7? Tuesday or Thursday mornings or would a different day be better? Email or text me your preference. jbsouthard12@gmail.com 914-443-8902 If enough people are interested, we could offer class at 2 different times. I'm also going to be offering the Lifestyle Nourishment Workshop online as well! Stay tuned for more information.
Lifestyle Nourishment? Huh? What exactly does that mean? Are you caring for yourself in all areas of life? Are you caring for your mind, body, and soul? If not, why not? Whew! That was a lot of questions. Life can get hectic and overwhelming at times. Sometimes we aren't very good about taking care of any of those areas, and sometimes we are good about taking care of one or two, but in order to live life fully, we need to take care of all those aspects of our being. We are whole beings and we need to care for ourselves holistically. What are you doing each week for your mind, body, and soul? Need help creating the nurishing lifestyle you've always wanted? Reach out to me to being the journey.
We aren't meant to look like barbie dolls. Here are some barbie doll fun facts: if Barbie were an actual woman, she would be 5'9" tall, have a 39" bust, an 18" waist, 33" hips, and a size 3 shoe. She would be projected to weigh around 110 pounds and have a BMI of 16.24. In real life, this would make Barbie anorexic and certainly not healthy! We need to get out of the mindset that skinny is healthy. Of course being obese is most certainly NOT healthy, we need to view health in the bigger picture. Are you eating well most of the time? Are you exercising on a regualr basis? Do you take some time for yourself to do the things you love? Are you taking time to be still? Take some inventory, and think about some ways you can take better care of yourself and make it happen. Stop trying to be skinny and start working on being healthy! I'm always available if you need some help getting started.
Our thoughts have so much power over us! Not only do they have an effect on us, but on everything and everyone around us! We often develop unhealthy patterns in our thinking that have an impact on our daily lives. We need to "clean up" our way of thinking, but in order to do that we need to be aware of our negative patterns. The article below gives a great breakdown of the many directions our thinking can take. We usually fall into more than one category. Identify a few that you have a tendency towards and now, being aware, work on shifting those thought patterns to more positive thinking. I love the last suggestion in the article: Define don't dwell. Check out the article below.
