LONG POST!
Hey all! It’s been awhile. I wanted to touch base and reach out to you about the constant struggle of staying on track with health and fitness. As a woman going through menopause, losing and/or maintaining weight, finding motivation, and focusing on eating healthy can be extremely challenging. So, I have been practicing giving myself grace. What does that mean?
“Giving yourself grace" means treating yourself with the same kindness, compassion, and understanding that you would offer to a friend, especially when facing challenges or mistakes. It's about acknowledging your imperfections, practicing self-compassion, and allowing yourself to learn and grow without harsh self-criticism.
Instead of dwelling on your flaws or failures, recognize that everyone makes mistakes and experiences difficult times.
Accept that you are human and that your emotions and limitations are valid. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, sad, or frustrated sometimes.
There is no such thing as perfection. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, and to learn from them.
Instead of focusing on your perceived shortcomings, focus on your strengths and potential for growth. Celebrate your small victories, and be patient with yourself.
Replace negative self-talk with positive and encouraging affirmations. Remind yourself of your worth and your ability to overcome challenges.
And don’t forget, please keep doing what I’ve been teaching for over 12 years now. No matter how big or small, please continue to Move Your Body!
Be on the look out for an event I am creating soon!
