The MAGIC Key!

What is the MAGIC Key?



Do you want to know the magic key to becoming fit and healthy? Is it as simple as receiving that "key" advice that will forever change you and magically emerge you from the clouds of the unknown? 

You are going to do great things and the why is important but sorry to burst your bubble, there is 
NO MAGIC KEY! 

To truly understand health & fitness we must become lifelong learners, absorbing everything but never fully committed to just ONE KEY. Experiencing constant changes is healthy and beneficial when exploring your health and fitness goals. Let's visualize a janitors key-chain filled with a variety of keys, some are old keys that once worked but now unlock unknown doors filled with dusty and out-dated equipment, new keys that work great in the beginning until the peaks become dull,  and those reliable keys that work like gold each and every time. This is the journey of your health, nutrition, and fitness goals throughout your lifetime! 

To be flexible doesn't merely imply joining a new yoga class but rather to have an open-mind and constantly evolve with the fitness research, new insight, and fresh goals as your life constantly changes. 

Does this mean I don't need to hold myself accountable and can simply fly like a kite in the wind when it comes to my health and fitness goals? No, this demonstrates that setting goals is always important but it is equally as important to allow flexibility, willingness to step out of your box and let go of the perfect routine, always open to new adventures. When you open your mind to changing up your workouts, trying new things, becoming an '"over-comer"and an "adventurer" that is when the goals are reached! 

How? Try this...
1. Wake-up with a mission for the day! 
2. Accept change as a constant door opening for new learning opportunities.
3. Do at least one thing each week that makes you step out of your comfort zone!
