3 Books To Motivate You To Create The Life You Want

Something has to give. You keep going back to square one, starting a new workout plan or giving up diet Coke on a regular basis. But it never lasts for long. You feel like you know what to do to get healthy but you can’t seem to make yourself do it for longer than a few weeks.

The answer to staying power isn’t joining another boot camp or trying a different diet plan. Creating the life you want means letting go on some level the life you have. It’s about more than going to the gym and eating your veggies. It’s about going deep.

While you may need to change some of your tools, the foundation for lasting change starts with your belief system. You need to upgrade your personal operating system to reflect new ways of thinking and acting in your everyday life. I’ve got three books to help you upgrade your thinking and create the life you want.

What You Need To Know Before You Start A Personal Training Business

You’re ready to become a full-time personal trainer but you don’t have any clients. Unless you count your cousin that pays you when she can for the workouts you put together.

How To Start Building A Smarter Self-care Strategy

How To Start Building A Smarter Self-care Strategy

I am quite surprised that “self-care” wasn’t on the “words to get rid of” list for 2019. Books, blogs and podcasts (including my own) talk about self-care with increasing frequency. It’s the buzzword du jou,r but what does it really mean?

Much of what you read about self-care is about short term and superficial solutions like getting a massage or treating yourself to your favorite tea. I am also guilty of this well-intentioned but short-sighted advice. A hot bath or a bouquet of flowers can be a soothing balm in a tough moment.
