Pay attention to your internal self talk.
Does it hold positive or negative energy? Say it out loud, would you say it to a friend? If it’s full of shame and negativity then reframe! “I'm learning to be a good friend to myself .“ Rinse and repeat! You are worth it! -Meghan

This week they expand on decision making during a pandemic. Sanity or Safety? Decision Making During a Pandemic #1: Blood Sugar Crash
If you feed your kids or yourself a bunch of candy or sugar, you might get hyped for a bit... But the blood sugar crash with mood swings are SURE to follow. #2 Too Much Caffeine I love myself some coffee... that’s for sure! But I have noticed if I get too much caffeine without doing something active, I am sure to feel more nervous and anxious as my cortisol rises. #3 Too Much Sitting Let’s not trap ourselves without movement for such long stretches. We were not made to do this. Try standing up more often, walking with a pep in your step, or letting the sun touch your skin for a minute or two outside!

Dating during a pandemic can be overwhelming and anxiety provoking. Instead of stressing about the process, use this as a time to reset!
1) Be aware of bad dating habits. As a former crash and burn dating junkie I can relate to this. Not meeting up physically & being forced to date through face time and video chat helps you to make the dating process a marathon not a sprint. Embrace the slow and steady route. 2) Talk to people you are not necessarily interested in. I know this seems counterintuitive but it helps you practice being your true authentic self in a relaxed way. When you eventually do feel a spark with someone you have some practice at being yourself and dropping any showboat routine. 3) Have fun! If the thought of dating during a pandemic is too overwhelming, don't do it! Commit to only doing things that bring you a sense of joy. If it makes you feel anxious and stressed out, wait until you are in a better head space and get back in the game. YOU ARE WORTH IT!

I wanted to share these 3 ways we can do to get and keep us Fired Up!
How do you get and stay fired up?! Any hacks you practice to keep your mind right and pump you up to bring your best self to the situation? You Are Worth It! -Kiersten With the gyms closed, fear of all the unknown, and social distancing being our reality right now, it's easy to get in a head-spin of fear and negativity. But we don’t want to live in that place for long or often, right? The research tells us, and I think we all know deep down, that —getting stuck in that will erode and might even devastate our mental and physical health. But we, like always, have a choice of how we will react to our situation. If we will stay down or if we will rise? We have an opportunity to make the best out of this situation and we ALL have it in us to do so! So let’s get some strategy and tools to stay healthy, strong, and inspired when we are confined to our homes.
I would love to hear how this was helpful for you, or what you need help with when it comes to your health and fitness during this time. My desire is this gives you the spark of hope and encouragement that you need today. I want to help you stay healthy and strong during this time! We got this! -Kiersten 1. Invite, acknowledge and accept the feeling with open arms.
2. Accept the feeling without judgment. “Okay anger I see you and I hear you.” 3. Imagine you are hugging the feeling with acceptance and love as if you are greeting a dear friend. 4. Hold the acceptance until you feel a sense of calm and peace. 5. Rinse and repeat 🤣 You Are Worth It! -Meghan Get moving! Even just simple stretching can help the body and mind relax and give you an extra dose of patience and energy!
Drink Water! When we are busy and overwhelmed we tend to hydrate less. Make sure you get your 8 glasses of water a day to keep your mind alert and sharp! Dehydration can make us feel lethargic, depressed, and anxious. Take 5! Simply stopping to close your eyes, putting your hand on your heart, and focusing on your breath can immediately help your body and mind relax. Don’t wait until you feel overwhelmed - Take 5 now!

Feelings of regret often flood us with guilt and shame causing us to feel an undercurrent of anxiety in every day life. The good news is you don’t have to live full of guilt and shame! You can CHANGE YOUR STORY and experience healing from the inside out. Tips to Address Feelings of Guilt and Shame 1. Recall the specific event/relationship you are thinking of and let the uncomfortable feelings flood you. 2. Immediately begin to speak out loud as if you are the parent you wanted and needed at that time in your life (whether from childhood or adulthood). 3. Flood yourself with compassion and understanding by saying out loud, “I’m so sorry you felt that way. I'm so sorry you felt out of control, I understand and I have your back”. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you begin to feel a lift of the guilt and shame. Do this as often as you need to; side effects are peace, compassion and acceptance! You are worth it! -Meghan |
