00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Transformation Station podcast. I'm Christina, owner, operator,

2
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>and founder of the Transformation Station, and this is where

3
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 1>we talk about getting stronger while navigating real life. If

4
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to stay consistent through the ups and the

5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>downs and everywhere else in between. This is for you.

6
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Hey listeners, welcome back to another episode. I'm actually at

7
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.359
<v Speaker 1>the gym. I'm in the back back, not back back,

8
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>but in the back back room off to the side.

9
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 1>It's like a safety security slash, a lot of storage

10
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>room at the gym because Annie's teaching a banging class

11
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Friday night on the other side of the wall. And honestly,

12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I was here already to do a one to one

13
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>coaching meeting, and I'm like, you know what, I really

14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 1>like being here right now. So I already have my

15
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>things with me. I'm going to record this podcast episode.

16
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Things are just flowing. Thoughts are flowing. So today we're

17
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 1>talking about August. Every August, this is what happens. It's

18
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>like a trend. In December, we know what happens in December.

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>In August, we know what happens in August. And people

20
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>keep telling themselves they're gonna get back back on track.

21
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>In September the same like in December, they're like, oh,

22
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>and in December, I'm gonna like cancel everything I have

23
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 1>to take care of myself just to enjoy life. And

24
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>then in January, I'm gonna jump back on the wagon.

25
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>So like in the fitness industry, we know that September

26
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is the new New Years for most people, and it's

27
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.159
<v Speaker 1>like summer. A lot of people think like, somehow, somehow,

28
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>summer is they end all and be all right, Like

29
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>they let summer activities get in the way of them

30
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>being healthy, not just being healthy, but keeping what they

31
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>did for the whole rest of the year. And I

32
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 1>don't think that summer is the problem at all. I

33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>think it's the pressure that we put on ourselves when

34
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>we do have those vacation plans, and like, I know,

35
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's sometimes in my past where I'm like, oh,

36
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I have one meeting in the middle of the day,

37
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 1>so I'm like, oh, my whole day is like oh,

38
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the one meeting, the one meeting, the one meeting. The

39
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>one meeting is like a two hour meeting. So it's like,

40
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>why are we like stressing twenty four hours when there's

41
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>a meeting for two hours of the day and somewhere

42
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 1>like we've created this whole idea with nutrition and fitness

43
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that if we can't stick to the routine perfectly, just

44
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>like obsessing over that one meeting that we have for

45
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.159
<v Speaker 1>the whole day, sometimes we think there's no point of

46
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 1>doing anything at all, so we skip our workout, we

47
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 1>skip our healthy eating, we go for something that's like, well,

48
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna eat this now because we're heading to

49
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the cottage, or we're going out with friends, or we're

50
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be eating or drinking at night time on a

51
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Friday night anyway, so we may as well, like not

52
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>do anything. And if we feel guilty about the burger

53
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that we've had at the barbecue, like we promise ourselves

54
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll make it up. We'll make up everything. Once the

55
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 1>kids are back in school, or it's not so nice

56
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 1>outside we're in the winter, we're gonna start hibernating so

57
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>we can focus on ourselves. Like that, to me, even

58
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>just talking about it sounds incredibly not just exhausting, but

59
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>also stressful at the same time. And we talk so

60
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>much about stress management and managing stress. If you listen

61
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to the podcast episode yesterday, Martina from Chris Mahir. She's like,

62
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 1>you need to just put your phone away for one

63
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>hour of the day. And there's so many different ways,

64
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>including that context that to me is a huge thing

65
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in order to manage stress and to get some of

66
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>our fight or flight energy a little bit more similar

67
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>down like where we're safe and things are going to

68
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>be all right lower that court is all a little

69
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 1>bit but like sometimes we don't always recognize where the

70
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 1>stress is coming from because sometimes it's not just work.

71
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's not just even our finances. Those two things,

72
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Like we talk about work quite often, but a lot

73
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 1>of people shy away from talking about finances, but a

74
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are going through the exact same thing.

75
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of the times too, it's not getting

76
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 1>enough sleep. So like all those things tend to build

77
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 1>up over time. And two sometimes it's like the pressure

78
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that we put on ourselves also create stress because we

79
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that we're doing enough. And when

80
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>people are pausing their memberships for the summer, which happens

81
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>everywhere and it's not really like a taboo thing, like

82
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>don't feel bad for me because I have new members

83
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>coming in and I have people that are pausing, and

84
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>that's just going to be all right. I'm happy to

85
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>see you back in September because I know you and

86
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I love you and I care about you. So it's

87
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>not like a shame thing like tiss tisk. But there's

88
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when people are like, you know what, I just

89
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>feel so stressed out trying to get to the gym

90
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>five days a week that they forget sometimes that you

91
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>can still stay active on the other on the outside

92
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 1>of the gym and also maybe do two or three

93
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 1>strength training workouts inside the gym. It's only forty minutes

94
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of the day, so if you are around or for

95
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>this summer. I don't know why I didn't think that

96
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>this in the last seven years, but I added that

97
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>at home workout, so when you are at the cottage

98
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>on vacation you're not able to step into the gym,

99
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 1>you can still be accountable and supported in doing your workout,

100
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 1>and then you can also get your stickier at the

101
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 1>end of the month when you reach your check and champions.

102
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>So like that also is a fun way to encourage

103
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>you and make the summer fitness routine something that is

104
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>positive and when you look back come September, you'll be like,

105
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I had a more balanced summer. Everything's

106
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>not always going to have to be balanced and perfect

107
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 1>every single month, every single day, or every single week.

108
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 1>But that's a nice way to say. I felt very

109
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>positive about what I did over the summer because I

110
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.879
<v Speaker 1>did enjoy those things. And something about our clientele is,

111
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>like we have the majority of our clientele they want

112
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to be healthy and they want to exercise, but they

113
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>also want to live their lives as well. And actually,

114
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>if you know our member Alex, this isn't a secret,

115
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and we all love Alex. Ill of Alex. If you

116
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>haven't met Alex, just wait till you meet her. She

117
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>is such a gift. I told her that today. I'm like, listen,

118
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you are a gift, and I can't wait sorry for you.

119
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait until your cottage closes so you can

120
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 1>be back at the gym more regularly. You're five days

121
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 1>a week because we all love you so much, and

122
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy that you're enjoying summer because you spend

123
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the year putting in all that effort

124
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>so you can enjoy your summer, so you can enjoy

125
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 1>life on the outside of the gym. That to me

126
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>is what it's about. I'm just being selfish and saying

127
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 1>I just love seeing you every day, so please come

128
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.759
<v Speaker 1>back now. But like she's still kept her membership active,

129
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 1>she still is here, like when she's around her extra

130
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 1>fun things, like she is living her best life. So

131
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.519
<v Speaker 1>she still trickles in. She'll come in first stretch, she'll

132
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 1>come in first strong fit. I might not see her

133
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>for two or three weeks and then I'll see her

134
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 1>two or three days in a row, or I might

135
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>see her trickle in, she checks in, Okay, go on

136
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>about your merry way, okay, but I love you, see

137
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>you later. So like and lately, instead of been saying like,

138
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>oh see you sued, I'll say hey, see you when

139
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I see you, because I don't want people to feel

140
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 1>pressured either, And that, to me, that's the longevity, that's

141
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>the consistency. And also when it comes down to pressure,

142
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 1>like sometimes it's not just about never missing a workout.

143
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's eating in quotation mark the right foods like

144
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that to me is not health at all, And that

145
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to me is more pressure. And I mean like getting

146
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the gym and doing your workouts and eating healthy food.

147
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It shouldn't feel like pressure. And sometimes we tell ourselves

148
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 1>in our brain that it is pressure because you put

149
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>so much high, high expectations on yourself. Like I've had

150
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>someone say, like, you know what, working out isn't good

151
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.839
<v Speaker 1>for my mental health. I was like, what, How's working

152
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>out not good for your mental health? So she doesn't

153
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 1>want to work out anymore at all, not in the gym,

154
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>not outside of the gym, not anything, because she doesn't

155
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 1>believe in fitness. I was like, oh, dear, well, you

156
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>got a few years for you yourself to change your

157
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 1>mind on that. Quite a few years to change your

158
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>mind on that. She was a little bit on the

159
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 1>younger side. I was like, Okay, I'm like, if that's

160
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 1>how you feel like, I can try to convince you.

161
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 1>But if you say the sky is green, and you

162
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 1>think the sky is green, then I'm not going to

163
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>try to convince you that the sky is blue. I

164
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 1>care about you and have to tell you, you know what

165
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 1>the skuy is actually blue, but you will have to

166
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 1>figure it out on your own. But sometimes that's the

167
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>stress that we put on ourselves to be perfect. Is

168
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>that is what makes getting to the workouts feel so stressful.

169
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So what in the summer you can't make it to

170
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the gym five days a week. Can you make it

171
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>around your schedule? Yes or no? If you're away and

172
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 1>you know you know what, I'm going to be active

173
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I have. This is the summer I'm traveling so incredibly much,

174
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>then that's gonna be okay too. At the end of

175
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the day, I am very pro choice. You do whatever

176
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it is that you need to do for your own schedule.

177
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just telling you right now that if you are

178
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 1>someone who has that high, high expectation on yourself that

179
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you have everything that you have to be perfect, and

180
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>if it's not even remotely exactly perfect, that you throw

181
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 1>everything away. That's exactly who I'm talking to. So to me,

182
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I think about, like, Okay, what is this summer going

183
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to be to seem different? Last year, I learned how

184
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>to ride a bicycle. I spent a lot of time

185
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 1>outside last year because I was incredibly stressed, so I

186
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>picked up different things. This year, I focus on a

187
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 1>few other things. I actually have this recurring not reoccurring,

188
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it's something in the last month, this knee thing. So

189
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually didn't ride my bike this year, and I've

190
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 1>been taking it a little bit more easy on some

191
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 1>of the more aggressive style of workouts that I've been doing.

192
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>But I've been consistent in doing other things like doing

193
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 1>my step and left and doing my tempo, doing like

194
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more of strength trading in the season,

195
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>and in return, I am still getting results. I just

196
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 1>adjusted my sales a little bit so I didn't think

197
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 1>it had to be exactly what I wanted it to

198
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>be as perfect. So there's other ways to keep doing things.

199
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>So like when it comes down to summer, like Boots

200
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 1>and Hearts is this weekend, Go celebrate your Boots and Hearts.

201
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 1>If that's something you love, you will not catch me

202
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 1>ever dead at Boots and Hearts. That is not my jam.

203
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't love as much as I love people, I

204
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 1>don't love big crowds like that. And I don't love

205
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>being in a space where people are out of control

206
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 1>because I don't love to be out of control myself,

207
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>So I don't love that for myself. You might love

208
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Boots and Hearts, and I'm gonna cheer for me and

209
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 1>be like, yes, enjoy your Boots and Hearts, Go enjoy

210
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>your vacation, sit on your dock, order your burger, whatever

211
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. But at the end of the day, keep moving,

212
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>keep strength because like you're not trying to undo anything, right,

213
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 1>but like movement is part of taking care of yourself.

214
00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>That's a natural thing. And health at the same time

215
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is not about avoiding your life. Like you don't have

216
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 1>to halt your entire life because well, now I work

217
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>out those two things can coexist. And to me, it's

218
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 1>about having the strength and the energy and also the confidence.

219
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>We're on a confidence role. Having not just your strength,

220
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>your energy, and also your confidence. That to me is

221
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>how you fully experience your summer. So, like there's people

222
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>who build those lasting habits, like not like those like yeah,

223
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited and then I'm going to do it for

224
00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>a week and not do it, but like those those

225
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>habits that are always become second nature to you, like

226
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 1>brushing your teeth in the morning or putting on your

227
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 1>socks or some people hate socks, but let's just use

228
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>that as an example. The people who are building those

229
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 1>lasting habits, they're not usually the people that expect life

230
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to be perfect all the time. And in earlier podcasts

231
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>this week, I also talked about like consistency is having

232
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 1>a plan but also rolling with the punches. It's not

233
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 1>having five days a week Monday to Friday of your workout.

234
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't have that, you're not consistent. That's

235
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 1>not how consistency works. It's when you keep going back

236
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>to the thing when you can and when you're able.

237
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 1>That's how you just like you simply just keep on

238
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>ongoing because it's part of your routine. It's not like,

239
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>oh I ran out of toothpaste today, so I'm never

240
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>brushing my teeth ever again. Like there's implementing and having

241
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>different things, so like you don't have to wait for

242
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>September to do like a perfect routine, right, Like don't

243
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.960
<v Speaker 1>wait for September because you think that's when you'll have everything.

244
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Like this is my routine now, and it's going to

245
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>be finally perfect because life will always be busy in

246
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>one way or another. There's always going to be stress

247
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.440
<v Speaker 1>in one way or another. And also we're like, well,

248
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>I just don't want to have any stress for this summer.

249
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take it like like Bob Marley, like

250
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 1>stress free, live life, enjoy life. But then sometimes when

251
00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>we get back to that, you're like, oh no, I

252
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.759
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed my life. Life a little bit too hard, So

253
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 1>like take care of yourself in the middle of it.

254
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 1>That way there is somewhat of a balance. Enjoy your summer,

255
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.519
<v Speaker 1>enjoy your life, take care of yourself and those like

256
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>those habits that you build that become your second nature.

257
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Like it's like going to bed at a certain time.

258
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 1>There's some days you're gonna go to bed a little

259
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 1>bit earlier, sometimes a little bit later. It's what is

260
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 1>it that you actually need and want that's gonna be

261
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.320
<v Speaker 1>good for your health in the long run. So take

262
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>care of yourself amongst all the chaos and all of

263
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the fun, and that, to me is what builds those

264
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>sustainable habits. Finish should make your life less stressful, not

265
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 1>become another thing that's causing any more stress. We have

266
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>enough stress in life. Finnish should be that thing that

267
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>makes your life a little bit more pep in your

268
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 1>step when you're done your workout at the end of

269
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the day. All right, this is short and sweet. See
