Save Space in Your Schedule for Only Your Spouse

How much space do you set aside, just for your s/o? And do you ever notice how easy it is to get overcommitted between daily life, work and relationships? This week we celebrated Tyler’s birthday with a short trip to Lake Arrowhead, which is one of our favorite places for staycations, and not that I’m so dense that I forget how blessed we are to know the reward of fighting for a healthy marriage — I was reminded how seriously important it is to prioritize each other, especial

When Grown Adults Act Like Children

This isn’t the usual kind of thing I like to discuss but I’m going to vent a little. Today I practically had to pick my jaw up off the ground after overhearing and seeing two very grown adults in leadership positions behave like catty, mean, bully-headed teenagers while they didn't realize anyone was standing in earshot of them. It shouldn’t (because it happens everywhere) but it does, boggle my mind that grown adults in professional fields where unity and teamwork should be

When To Cut Someone Off

If you catch wind of others belittling you or your goals, decisions or perspectives, then keep in mind that they are not you, and are not called and created to do what you're called and created to do. These are probably the same kind of people who complain about more than they praise, and who still need to figure out what it is they were made to do - don't let their lack of pursuit slow yours down. People who are never short of negative opinions about everyone and everything

You Can Have It Together but Still Fall Short

You can have it together but still fall short. We don't have to have a life in shambles or be making obviously questionable choices to miss the mark and fall short. You don't have to be 'living in sin' to warrant some sort of attitude adjustment or change of perspective. There are always going to be areas in our day to day life that could benefit from adjustments. Most issues we face will put us in positions to either think, say or do something out of love, or out of somethi

Quit Trying to Keep Everyone Happy

When we quit worrying about trying to keep everyone happy (because we won’t, and it’s all good), life becomes bigger and your vibes get better. You were fearfully and wonderfully made; created to make a difference and stand out for your own unique abilities, traits and gifts- not to fit into any one particular mold the world seems to think is ideal, or to appease other people. No matter what you do, where you live, what your background or current situation looks like, people

Stuff Happens, So What Will You Do

There's the highlight reel of the in-your-face (typically manipulated and ultra-edited) social media world, and then, there's day to day reality with no filters and no editing. Real life means sharing the world with other people, and where there are people there will be problems, often in the least expected seasons of our life, or from the most unexpected people - possibly even the ones who mean the most to us. Regardless of the what that happens when, with who, where and why

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

I see a lot of "shoulda, coulda, woulda" talk this time of year from people with unmet goals, and I know from experience that will totally steal the joy out of living. The end of the year is a season where so many of us miss the mark on just being confident where we're at, knowing we can still do what it takes to get where we want to go, even if its going to take a little longer because life happened. Instead of living with a mindset that oppresses you into a funk because all

Top 7 Stress Less Travel Tips

Jet setting has been part of my normal routine for years, so through much trial and error I have navigated some helpful, practical tips that help make feel-good-traveling doable for anyone. 1. Don’t go pack-rat mode when you’re packing your luggage. You will rarely catch me checking luggage on a flight, as I appreciate a light load. One carry on and one personal item (strategically packed) is plenty of space to transport a laptop bag (which I take full advantage of for extra

Do It "Like a Girl"

When you hear of, or accuse someone of doing something “like a girl”, you’re likely to translate that into a negative accusation- associating the phrase with weakness or an inability to successfully do something. Fortunately, that kind of stone age thinking is being buried by females who choose to excel in whatever it is they do, with hearts full of courage and mindsets that are far from weak. You’re bound to know someone, at least one- who, just so happens to be a girl that

What Else It Takes To Get Great Results

Being your best, and having a physique you're truly confident in won't require rocket science, but it will require something that for many people, is even more complex. It's going to take the right mindset. Afterall, if you can master your own mind, you can master your own body. If you haven't already, read Why You're Not Seeing the Results You Want, Part One.

Why You're Not Seeing Results | Part 2

We covered some very foundational, but pertinent, points in "PART 1" (regarding health and fitness goal setting), so as long as you’ve earnestly addressed those, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of one of the most common stumbling blocks people encounter on the road to results. People. We’ve all had (or, have) those people who somehow linger in our life (or possibly just our Facebook) who criticize and cast doubt at every chance they get. These people are either in dire need

Let THEM Be Strong

We all want to excel and become better (beit in our health and fitness, relationships, education, career or hobby), but sometimes being able to do so gets blocked by always rushing to the rescue of other people for the sake of ignoring what really needs attention in us. I'm talking to the people-pleasers (I was once one of them), and the intentionally aloof (I was also once one of those, too). Do you constantly become readily available to rescue people when their times get to

Give Yourself a Chance!

(Updated from 2/9/2015) We know better than to waste our time judging others, yet we are so quick to spend time judging ourselves with a mindset of fear, doubt, condemnation or the combination of all three, which almost always leads to self-sabotage. Before you talk yourself out of moving forward through your goals, because it 'might be too hard', 'take too much time, 'sacrifice', and effort', or because you think you're 'not deserving or good enough', give yourself a chance!

Why You're Not Seeing Results You Want | Part 1

Visible results are why we decide to put in the effort it takes to bring them about, so how do we deal with the hard truth that achieving them takes more time than we may want? The plea I read and hear asked so often is, "Why am I not seeing results, yet?". Moving forward to the results we're after requires more than just effort, it requires a plan, diligence and consistency. Here are five very fundamental things to consider before jumping the mindset gun of "(XYZ) is just no
