It’s Not All About You

Let’s use our imagination, and I’ll tell you a story about two sisters.

They share many things in common – DNA, childhood experiences, basic values, etc.

But they couldn’t be more different when it comes to fitness.

One is a super-fit competitive athlete.

The other wants to be “fit,” but she doesn’t prioritize it and either looks for the magic bullet diet/ supplement or fills up her free time with busy work or doom scrolling.

Seriously! And I’m trying not to judge here, but bear with me. Here’s the point. Here’s the difference between them.

It’s how they relate to their own fitness to their families.

The athletic sister decided when her kids were young that she needed to stay strong and fit while raising them and, seeking a hobby for herself, she took up triathlons. She was devoted to her kids, but she craved time to herself and made it a priority – and she needed the energy to keep up with being a mom. Her kids and husband realize this is important and the activities she does is normalized.

The OTHER sister, though? Well, even before she had kids, she never really committed to her health and fitness. She would dabble in routines and healthy eating, but she was scared to really try, preferring to do what was comfortable. When the kids came, she was always “too busy” with their activities to do anything for herself. Sure, she was tired all the time, but who wouldn’t be!

I bet you know people like this. Heck, we are ALL people like this at some point or another.

Here’s why: We make decisions about how to live every day.

  • We decide whether we will be healthy, fit and happy – or not.
  • We decide whether our family commitments are excuses to keep us from being fit – or not.
  • We decide whether we want to prioritize our own health and wellbeing – or not.

So, you can not address your fears and challenges or blame your family and carry that handy excuse for decades like the one sister did.

Or you can proudly stand up for yourself, invest in your health for yourself AND FOR THEM, and do your best to live a healthy lifestyle. To be around longer. To be more present with them every day.

Working out should be viewed as a platform for a better life. Sure, you feel strong, mobile, and balanced, but it’s how you can show up in your life and be there for your friends, family, and community. You are setting an example of what life could be, and know that you are not leaving it to others to take care of you.

I hope you choose to get fit FOR your family, so you can be a positive example and have confidence that they won’t have to take care of you as you get older.

If you are already being that shining light of taking care of yourself but are looking for the best way to do it, check out this free report on “Moving better, reducing pain and living life on your terms. The 4 steps to break the cycle and keep it.”

𝑷𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝑪𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒆 𝒂 𝑺𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒏

SolCore Fitness Therapy and training

Have you ever been sick with the flu and found yourself feeling mopey and sad, maybe even sobbing?

Sure – we’ve all been physically sick enough to suffer emotionally, as well.

But we’re not always as quick to understand that the phenomenon works both ways. Sometimes we can feel so bad emotionally that it causes physical pain, too. 

The mind-body connection is real. ‼️

It is powerful. And it can knock you down – literally – if you’re not in tune with what you’re feeling.

The experience historically has been called “psychogenic pain,” and it occurs when emotional, psychological or behavioral problems lead to physical symptoms.

Consider how it can be easy to go from “feeling sad” to “being depressed,” which is an actual physical malady that can make you have tiredness, soreness, and headaches.

Or how suppressing anger leads to tension and high blood pressure.

It’s a similar concept with feeling anxious or ashamed. If you’re up worrying all night, your body and brain suffer from the lack of sleep.

The term “psychogenic” is somewhat outdated because it means “produced in the mind” and experts realize that there can be a negative association with that – like, “Just get over it if it’s all in your head.” (NOT helpful!)

But this pain is real, no matter what anyone says. 

This is demonstrated physiologically via your sympathetic nervous system and the fact that they run on the front of your spine.😱

So if you are stressed out, fearful, angry etc it is going to light up that sympathetic chain, and you will have physiological issues at your weakest link. Maybe its :

👉🏽 A headache

👉🏽 Or heart palpitations

👉🏽 Or digestive issues

👉🏽 A problem with elimination

👉🏽 Or an issue with Libido

Any (or more) of those areas will have physiological issues because of your emotional stress.

Understand your mind and body, and don’t be afraid to seek help if you need it.

Please be kind to yourself and practice self-care about the mind-body connection. Exercise. Meditate. Talk with a therapist about your feelings for help processing your emotions. See a qualified physical type therapist that can view your issues holistically. 

Pain is pain. Don’t let it hold you down.

Why You’re Compelled to Seek Personal Growth. 🚀

SolCore Therapy and fitness

Growth and movement are good things. You bet! They’re even totally NATURAL. In fact, they’re absolutely essential elements of life.

So, it’s only natural to seek personal growth as we move forward. We’re as much a part of nature as anything else.

Well, that’s true for those with a growth mindset. I’d say that covers roughly half the people I know – including people like you, who are seeking paths to improvement.

I’ve noticed a funny thing about people like us with this “growth mindset.” Once we walk one path of improvement, go through a learning process, or reach a goal… Well, we start off with another one!

We know that GETTING something at the end of the journey isn’t the only value.

We know that the journey itself is at least half the attraction. We are naturally curious. We like to improve ourselves. We are not afraid of change, not so worried that it freezes us in place.

The other half? Well, they’re of a “fixed” mindset. Absent curiosity. Unwilling to change. Maybe even afraid to try something new.

For them, success means trying to stay still and hoping nothing wrong happens.

But guess what? LIFE HAPPENS!

You and I know it, or we wouldn’t be communicating with each other. We don’t just accept that fact about life. We embrace it.

When you crave self-improvement, you’re more engaged with the world, other people, and yourself. You’re more inquisitive, more accepting, and less likely to be pushed around – because you’re confident enough to go with the flow when necessary. You seek challenges and opportunities to grow.

It’s your nature, after all!

So it’s understandable that you are feeling frustrated with your progress or lack thereof in your workouts.

👉🏽 Little(or big) pains in your body.
👉🏽 Not performing like you want to.
👉🏽 Getting frustrated that you think you are on the cutting edge of training, but the results differ from what you expected.

And that fact that your body and the little voice inside you keep yelling “STUCK” and you are still shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic is only compounding the situation. (Only a slight exaggeration). 😉

It’s not your desire and dedication that is in question; it’s your view and knowledge on how to work with your body that is off.

It’s not totally your fault. It’s how we have been taught.

📦 This activity is for this
📦 This treatment is for this
📦 This workout is for this
Etc.etc

Everything is in little boxes. We have broken everything down and forgotten that everything should all work together. Holistic.

And if you keep bouncing around trying to piece together a holistic program when the pieces don’t fit, you will end up in a different place.😵‍💫

You keep moving forward when you work with a philosophy that all these stretches, exercises, and treatments are under and work with how the body is designed.
