The Importance Of Respecting Time

Here we go! Another year moving at the speed of light. If time didn’t feel fast enough, I have my kids growing like weeds (pretty smart ones) to remind me. My daughter is turning 10 in a few days, and my 6-year-old son is almost up to my chest! I’m 6’4″!

Anyhoo. It got me thinking about how the one consistent thing is time. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it’s there. You either are conscious and respectful of it, or you aren’t.

I see this in my studio all the time. I always assign homework to people so that they can get the most out of the program. The goal for me is self-sufficiency. Just coming in and doing what your told is 1/4 of your journey—the practice you put in at home and changes within yourself lead to sustainable success.

So when I see somebody who 6 months ago I gave homework, and they are still not doing it, it makes me a little sad. I can see they are held back by mental and emotional fear.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize that everybody has their path and is not on the same timeline, but there is a difference between that and getting in your own way.

Taking control of your health and fitness is no different from any other skill or achievement you have in your life.

👉🏽 Have a desire “Why” you want it

👉🏽 Understand and give yourself some grace that you are learning something new

👉🏽 Self-reflect on the changes you will have to make to accomplish your goal.

It’s not magic. It’s not enough that you “just get up and move.” It is a choice of what you want in your life.

I love to know what you think about this.
