Health Hack: What To Do When You Only Have A Few Minutes To Get Fit.
I have to start by saying that I’ve been there. Overworked. Tired. Maybe my period was coming. Whatever it was, I just didn’t have the time nor the energy to fit in an hour or more at the gym, but I knew I had to do something (anything) to make sure I kept moving toward my fitness goals. Here is what you need to do when you only have a few minutes a day, and still want to get in a full-body workout.

Why settle?
Why do we feel as adults (supposedly older and wiser) that we need to settle? As kids and teens we certainly never did. But somehow now as adults, it’s expected. Along with learning societal rules and values, we also learned how to settle, and never expect more than what was given to you. I say forget that shit! It’s never too late, and you’re never too old to renew, refocus and reinvent your life! XOXO, Helen

You’re never too old to chase your dreams!
On Monday, 64 year-old Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage or flippers. That’s more than 100 miles in shark-infested, jellyfish stinging water. Did I mention this was also her fifth attempt? She’s my freaking hero. How often do we give up on our dreams before we even give them a fair chance to grow?

All those things you’ve always wanted to do, yeah you should do them!

Happy Motivation Monday friends! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of change, as new projects and new doors of opportunities come my way. I’ll be honest. I still have moments when anxiety, doubt and frustration try to creep in like a thief in the night and derail everything I’ve been working so hard on.

Why do you want to be fit?
That’s one of the first questions I ask anyone who comes to me for help. You want to get fit, be healthier and probably lose some weight during the process, right? However, have you stopped and asked yourself why? Why now? Since I’m constantly reevaluating and updating my own personal short-term and long-term goals, it’s also a question I ask myself constantly.

What messages are you telling yourself?
Happy Motivation Monday! Do you ever get frustrated with not seeing results fast enough? Or wonder why things always seem to fall apart, even before it got off the ground? Not too many of us can escape something bad messing up our day every now and then, but it’s how we react to it that determines the ultimate outcome. Sometimes the timing isn’t right, but more often that not, life is the story you’re telling yourself it is. This week ask yourself, are your goals productive or destructive?
