My body sucks. I exercise religiously, diet, binge, read all the mind numbing blogs and magazines. Yet I still feel inferior to others (Gals and Dudes are equally guilty).
“I just wish I could stop beating myself up all the time over petty, little things … That’s it I quit! ”
Like it or not all of us React to adversity and troubling times when we should be Refocusing.
We could not possibly leave you in such a depressed state on a lovely Friday morning could we?!? What follows could be called advice, by some. Others may call our kind words unwarranted and self-righteous, either way we are all adults here and we can form our own decisions …
Are you a quitter? Do you find yourself tossing in the towel daily? Here’s the lowdown peeps: Quitters blame those around them and the world for their disappointments. YOU are not a quitter!
Less time Reacting and more time Refocusing.

In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present-
BREAKING NEWS: Welcome to the one spot on the Inter-Webz where you WILL NOT find bloviated and self-serving “Merican presidential coverage. If that is your “thing” today? We’re pretty sure someone out there is Pinning and Tweeting something about it …
Quick show of hands: Are you currently experiencing a “perception” problem in your life? A quick, simple and pain-free adjustment in our own thoughts and behavior will shed light and lend meaning to seeing yourself in a whole new way.
An item we talk quite often about is not taking care of our MINDS and BODIES with regular exercise and a healthy dose of mindfulness and meditation. When we neglect these items the cumulative effect often leads to feeling down about the way we look. Now the simple part: Getting up early to Workout, choosing a carrot, apples and a sandwich over Chick–fil-A for lunch … The simple “things” we do provide an instant boost to our self-image.
Simple stuff peeps, so simple in fact that you forgot what you just read above!
The Plan-
Link of the day: The Automatic Diet Planner <—Must clicky peeps!!!

Notes:
Bieber Fever? Maybe some Nickleback, Celine Dion and Snow for next week?!? Moving on, Many members of the CultFit staff have finally realized that the Winter Classic is going to be cancelled. This is not necessarily a bad thing peeps!?! What else is there to do in Michigan during the winter months anyways? Be well today and ENJOY!!!

Top Tips, Advice, Input … All of these are tedious and boring, something we painstaking try not to push your way. The closest we have ever come to “Advice” is ‘Ole Uncle Mo gently slapping you up side the noggin, and let’s be honest: We all need a good slap up side the head from time to time.
So on that note, we will be tossing out some talking points this week as we slowly start to fall into hibernation here in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a slow process but we all do it, yeah you too!!! Our hibernation starts with the shorter days and the cooler temps, then the excuses start to pour in: Too Cold, Too Dark, Too Many Pumpkin Spiced Everything’s!
“Hey girl! Check out the Chica over on the treadmill. Yeah, the one there chatting up the new trainer dude … She has and will soon have everything you want in life?!?”
Jealousy and Envy are great personal tools to use, albeit when used with tact and great care.
Jealousy and Envy are rather ugly, nasty emotions we display more times during the day than we initially thought. You know what though? These handy little emotions secretly tell us the truth about our inner-most feelings. When was the last time you envied or were jealous of someone having a flip-phone? Never … The fact is: You only envy those who have what you desire the most … You are only jealous when you feel someone has taken something from you.
Most of you reading today spend too much time running away from life, quite literally in fact. If we stop for a moment to embrace our emotions, whatever they may be? We can learn so much from them. Our emotions are here: To teach us, to guide us and to help us make the tough decisions we face in life.
The Plan-
The Workout-
Dust off the Jump Rope and let’s get after this program while the day is still young.
Mess around with your trusty rope for a few minutes to Warm Up. Followed By:
Jump Rope (for one minute)
3 Turkish Get Ups (each side)
Once again this is not AMRAP … 30 minutes would be nice?!? If you fancy yourself as Uncle Rico? Carry on with AMRAP, just keeping it real peeps!
Notes:
Jealousy and Envy (when used properly) can open up the world you were oblivious to or may have taken for granted, before you read this post of course!?! Take care today and ENJOY!!!
