Your Final Mindset For This Challenge…

Emotions aside, I just want to start this discussion off by saying how unbelievably proud I am of you. 

You are all so strong. You are all so worthy. Your stories are so important.

To see you all overcome what life has thrown at you these past few weeks, is a genuine honor. I want to thank each and every one of you for letting me be part of your journey. 

When we started this challenge we talked about starting small. Smaller than our egos like. Smaller than we feel like we should be starting with. The goal was to make your step so small it was almost offensive.

Why? Because when you start with a goal so small that it guarantees success, you begin to build confidence. You can take that small step and use it to build momentum. Snowball affect.

Then we talked about being flexible. Taking what you learned as you tackled your small step- good or bad- and using that information. If it worked and things clicked, build upon that step. If it wasn’t working, adjust- adapt- be flexible and try a new approach. You’re one step closer to finding what does work.

From there we talked about saying no. No to excuses, to old behaviors, to patterns that don’t serve you. But more importantly, you need to say no to self-doubt, negative self-talk, self-judgement, comparison, and anything that was holding you back from chipping away at your baby step. 

That lead into our discussion on the separation of effort and performance. What truly matters in life and in fitness is your effort. What that effort produces, ie your performance, is secondary. Because life will give you seasons and as a result, your performances will go up and down. But that doesn’t mean fitness is worthless in a down season (one where performance is low) it means that our measurement for our workouts should be the effort we put in, not what that effort looks like. 

In our typical fashion we talked about discipline. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for yourself is to prioritize your future self over your current self. And that discipline is for most days, but in order to keep the ball rolling we need to learn to give ourself grace for the hard days. Only YOU will know how much grace and discipline to grab at any given time, during any given season. 

And that brings us to now. Now we are telling you this: 

keep. going. 

do. not. quit. on. your. self.

Haven’t gotten through all the workouts yet? thats okay, keep going. 

Not sure what comes next for you? We’ve got you covered, keep going.

Had a hard month, hard couple months? Sister I feel you, keep going.

Even though this challenge is “ending” it never truly ends. Because we are after a lifestyle, long term change. 

The workouts will continue to be posted. We will all still be here. The support, community, and all the things that make up a challenge will still be here next week. 
 the only thing that changes is your mindset, hopefully for the better. This is not the end. This is the beginning. 

Keep applying the tools, the mindset, the steps from this program. 

What ever you do next, make sure its a step forward. Even if that step…. Is wait for it…. A baby step.

Mindset 6: Keep Going

This is me taking the next step. Been having a hard time getting my workout in if I don’t have at least 30 minutes and so i didn’t get a work out in this week. Then came my period and I again made excuses. Needed some motivation so I came by here to set my intentions for the week. Taking the next step. I will fit movement in where I can and be glad I did so, even if it’s not perfect!

Sarah Lucero

I love that you do a Mindset Monday. As weird as it sounds watching it made me emotional. But it is such a relief and a breath of fresh air for me to be able to have that internal guidance so I can pursue my fitness goals in a healthy and loving way.

Rachael

I just listened to my first motivational mindset, and I’m just completely inspired by you two. I’m excited, and want to thank you for this app!

Kaley

Mindset: Consistency

It was an awesome message but I wanted to listen to what your sister had to say. It sounded like she had a beautiful message but you kept cutting her off and talking over her. So not sure if she was supposed to be in this video but whatever she was trying to share was awesome! Just let her talk and finish what she wanted to say next time!

Thank you!! I needed this! I’m 12 weeks pregnant and surprisingly still struggle with the fact that my body is changing.. but I’m learning to embrace it and eat and workout according to what feels GOOD to me and my body. Thank you

Alyssa

This was wonderful! I’ve been so glued to the scale.. my goals this week are to make foods I enjoy write workouts I love and not weigh myself at all

Why the scale shouldn’t be your only goal.

Sarah

Storm Houser

Exactly what I needed to hear and reflect on! Thank you! These motivational Mondays are so so awesome!

Janine Ducharme

Discipline and Grace

Really good, I felt reassured with Mindset Monday talk today. After losing motivation, hearing this was a great pick me up! Thanks!

Love the 5 minute rule, it works every time. The tip to buy a new outfit works for me sometimes too lol. Dang ptula! 🤣

Ashley Powell

This was the reminder I needed! Thank you!

Stephanie

Motivation

Hannah your reaction to Michal’s story was so funny😂

Francesca

Meaghan

I feel michal’s words when she said “or you’re trying to hold in a fart” 😂😂 too real

Lily

Confidence in the gym

That was great! It was exactly what I needed for support and encouragement! Thank you for creating amazing content and sharing your wisdom and knowledge in this area of fitness and wellness!🧡💜

I love starting my mornings with these. I have positive affirmations written all over rmy house on sticky notes so I see them all the time and that helps me significantly! ❤

Positive self talk

A nice encouragement to add more to my diet.. I eat fairly healthy however, I often miss breakfast and lunch and I know this is truly my problem. I’ve been working on getting at least a morning protein shake with banana and peanut butter, and now need to work on adding lunch back in. Stress doesn’t help but I know my body needs more.

Thank you so much for covering this topic!! I have been working hard for the past 10ish months to repair my relationship with food and come to a healthy mental place with food and figure out what I want long term. This is so, so critical. But this is what the diet industry thrives on and it is tough to undo all our years of programming. Thank you both for knocking down these walls and talking openly. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE 🥰

Tiffany

Oh, that hit too close to home. Guilty of the clean eating and good food VS bad food. When Hannah said, "don't eat food to lose weight", that clicked in my head!
This is going to be a struggle for me, but 1 of the main reasons I joined the challenge!

Marie

Nutrition Episode 1

Thank you for the encouragement. My therapist is on a leave of absence and I was procrastinating finding a new one but this video was my push and reminder to do so. 
Thank you ❤️

Tammy

Mental Health

That was really good and informative to hear. Thank you

This too was another one of those most needed ones for me to hear. My daily job is physical, I work out I eat pretty healthy weekends tend to  be fun lol but this is good for me to hear thank you!!!!
