September

dream big, start small

The turn of a page into a new month. While we have access to new mercies every day, there’s something about a new month that feels like a fresh start, and I think that’s totally fine! I know this month is kicking off with a long holiday weekend, so ENJOY it – but don’t forget to take a few moments to plan ahead for the week to start off strong! You have simple recipes at your fingertips, effective workouts, and a health habit that’s easy enough to tackle in 3 minutes 🙂 

You are worth the time and effort it takes to care for yourself. Meal prepping, setting aside 20 minutes to move, eating meals slowly – I KNOW these take time and effort. The time will pass anyway, and there is nothing more noble to put effort into than stewarding your body. It can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but that is when change happens. Rooting for you!

*PLEASE NOTE: our group coaching call will be happening on Wednesday, 9/6 from 7:15-8:15 PM EST this month!

Pro tips to help you maximize your membership :)

Anticipate obstacles: obstacles are like red lights on the way to the store: an inevitable part of the journey. Anticipate them and don’t let them define your ability or stop you from trying.

Take action: you can absorb all the information and education you want, but that’s not what leads to change — taking ACTION is!! Regardless of the results, taking action helps you gain clarity to continue pressing forward. I know this can bring discomfort, but temporary discomfort is better than longterm discomfort. God is mighty in you — you GOT this! 

Ditch all or nothing thinking: we believe something is better than nothing and ANY effort counts. You don’t have to implement 100% of the content to see change and improvements in your health. Each action you take compounds. 40% effort is better than 0%

Ask questions: if you’re confused, not sure where to start, feeling behind, or just have a question for me or the group, ask it! Someone else probably has the same question, so by speaking up you’re getting the answer and helping someone else do the same.

New around here? Welcome! Check out some helpful tips on how to get started, below!​

Say hi and introduce yourself: click here to join the private group on Circle, and introduce yourself in the “Say Hello!” space. This is the PLACE TO BE for ongoing encouragement, support, and inspiration through the week. Post questions, workout or nutrition wins, or encouragements for others and be a part of a community pursuing the same goals as you.

Familiarize yourself with the membership portal: things should be fairly simple to navigate. Monthly content will be found in that months module. All other content will be found in the resource bank.

Download your resources: download, print, and/or save the monthly guides, recipe collections, and workouts to your phone for easy access at the start of each month. 

Take action: taking in information can feel productive, but real change comes from taking action!
