www.fit-bar.com Have you ever felt that tension when you start thinking about a version of life you crave to live, but there’s something inside of you that keeps reminding you that you’re not the type of person you’d need to be to live that kind of life?  That you haven’t proven yourself worthy of dreaming those types of dreams?  Isn’t that a crazy idea – that you have to EARN the right to believe you’re capable of more?  What if that wasn’t the case, what if you were allowed to believe whatever you wanted? ...and what are you waiting for?  Join all the others who feel the same at fit-bar.com

Practicing NEW Beliefs Part 2

www.fit-bar.com Have you ever lost your cool in an argument on social media ...me too.  Usually because the OTHER person is refusing to live by the FACTS I am offering.  Well it's a FACT that attempting to change a belief by bombarding it with facts is ineffective ...so I guess I am the one not living by the facts.  The same is true with the beliefs we want to change in our OWN MIND.  Have a listen and let's get this sorted out.

Practicing NEW Beliefs Part 1

www.fit-bar.com Whit and I are big fans of reflecting, evaluating, and adjusting.  The end of the year is always a natural time to do that, so we took full advantage.  Join in the conversation about the fears we faced in 2018 and let us know if you had any of your own.

Our Fears from this Year

www.fit-bar.com At FitBar - we LOVE Teddy Roosevelt's concept of "The Arena", so as we dive into this 3rd episode in our series about fear, we turned to the folks in the LITERAL arena ...athletes.  They're relationship with fear can give us insights into the dynamic of fear and courage in our own arenas.

Fear in the Arena

Insights from FitBar  www.fit-bar.com One of my favorite techniques to battle the unhelpful stories I tell myself is to name them - what if you tried the same thing with your fear?  Name it, own it, then take action anyway.  How much energy do you expend resisting fear?  What if you could have that energy back?  What could you do?

Attention, Uncertainty, Change, and Struggle

From www.fit-bar.com Fear happens, there's nothing you can do about that, but isn't it odd that we tend to have this thought, "If this were REALLY a good idea, I wouldn't feel any fear."  Do I really want that thought running my life?  What if I practiced a different thought - "Any amazing destination I want to arrive at is going to require feeling fear along the way."  Would that increase my potential for amazing?

Don't Make Fear Mean Don't

A mentor of ours, we'll call her Patty, loves to help people forgive.  Whenever she is presented with a new story of suffering, she smiles and asks in the most loving tone, "who do you need to forgive?"  As we go into the holiday season, we are often confronted with people who stir up discomfort inside of us.  Want to be free from that discomfort? FORGIVE. Want help forgiving?  Get in touch:  www.fit-bar.com

Holiday Traditions vs Healthy Habits

I have had great Christmases filled with magic and fun - and I have had holiday seasons that just come and go and it seems like I never really got "in the spirit" - as I have wrestled to determine why, the answer has consistently been that the more I connect with loved ones, the more magic I feel.  Check out this podcast with 5 keys to connecting over the holidays. ...then connect with FitBar at www.fit-bar.com  

Creating that Christmas Connection

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - T. Roosevelt Want to get in the arena?  www.fit-bar.com    

The Story You Tell about You - Part 4

In this episode, I asked Whitney about the the difficulty she found while she was still living in one story, but attempting to write ...and BELIEVE a new one.  She came up with insightful defense mechanisms that her brain used to keep her safe and stuck. Thoughts like: "What are you trying to do, PRETEND that events from your past didn't really happen?" "You're just a broken person pretending to be strong - you're being fake." "Sure, things are going well now, but how long can it really last?  Do even deserve any of this progress?" Sound familiar?  Then buckle up and hear the thoughts that got her past it.

Story Time: The Story you Tell about You - Part 3

Have you ever gone back and thought through ALL of the wisdom, skills, insights, and perspective you've gained from the tough times in your life and asked yourself if you'd be willing to give it all up?  What if you were grateful for the wisdom instead of resentful of the pain ...who would you be without your story of pain? Want to learn to become THAT person?  Good news, that's what we do!   https://www.fit-bar.com

Story Time: The Story you Tell about You - Part 2

Life is FILLED with events ...moment by moment they've been stacking up as long as we can remember.  Whether consciously or subconsciously we assign a meaning to each of these events.  As those meanings are accumulated and practiced, they become our story and that story determines what is possible for us.  In this podcast, we will take a look at the validity of our story and see where we can make adjustments that will free us from our perceived limits. http://www.fit-bar.com    

Story Time: The Story you Tell about You - Part 1

"I love it when a plan comes together." - name that TV character. Whether it's building with instructions, driving with directions, or working out with an instructor, there is great freedom in taking action when the plan is already made.  It quiets the mind chatter - the debate in our mind about whether or not to keep pushing forward.  If you love the plan, if you find pride in sticking to the plan, then you simply continue to follow the plan.  Plans are Powerful! Want to make some powerful plans of your own?  Join the movement at http://www.fit-bar.com  

Perfect Plans may not be Perfect

It would be silly to pick up a bow, grab an arrow, then lock that arrow in and draw the string back before you have a target.  We've found the same with growth, it doesn't work so well when you choose your actions minute by minute without a sense of what you're trying to accomplish.  So lets take some a second and AIM before we shoot.
