Get Rid of Your Weeds

For the most part, I took the weekend off (up until now) of doing any work on the computer. I was on it way to much last week and my eyes were about to pop out of my head. I don't feel like I got enough outside time this past week so I chose to spend part of this morning digging in the dirt and getting rid of the weeds in my garden. It was overrun. I had so many good intentions last Spring of eating all year from our bounty of peppers, corn, tomatoes and such but got sucked into work and other responsibilities. So the weeds and grass snuck in and destroyed my beautiful vegetables.

Which brings me to your weeds. What is holding you back from looking your best, feeling your best and performing at your best?

For many of us, laziness is a huge factor this time of year. We settle into our comfy sofas, curled up with a book or sit at the computer and never look to go outside and get reacquainted with our surroundings. I am guilty of it at times too. I forget how refreshing the cold is against my face as I walk with my family in the woods. So this morning's garden detox felt awesome. At first, I was overwhelmed looking at all that had to get done but after getting in there and turning the soil some, it became fun and satisfying.

Getting started on a workout program has got to be the hardest part to the exercise habit. But just imagine how good you will feel even after the first week of moving more. Many of my clients comment on how strong they feel after one week of classes with HeadSTRONG Athletics. They become addicted to the energy and workout because it makes them powerful, inside and out. And let me tell you, many of these people had weeds galore to overcome. But they did it.

So, are you going to sit on your butt and let the weeds take over? Get up and move.
