What restores you? This question is really tougher than you think. I try to answer it by envisioning myself in the moment and how I feel. Does it bring lightness, lower my anxiety, take away that draining feeling, and put a pep in my step? The traditional or stereotypical activities or things don’t always feel refreshing to me. And often can give me a case of the “shoulds”. I know you know what I mean. Next time you want do something truly restorative, really takes some time to consider what brings you pure joy. A few things for me include grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, good books, massages, sunday morning workouts with betty, long walks in cool weather, champagne flights, warm vacations, painting, 3 core 80’s movies, and just being silly. Oh. And sleep. #restorative #rest #truerest #rejuvination #selfcare #thelittlethingsarethebigthings #takecareofyourself #godeeper #sleep #happyinyourhealth

Have the chips and salsa if that’s what you want. But also have what you need.* Some tips for doing both: •f**k what everyone else is ordering. •mentally pause and take a deep breath before eating •ask for what you want. It’s OK to be “that guy” when ordering, just do it kindly •order right away. You can sit there and visit as long as you want but ordering right away will take some decision fatigue out. •ask for support right then. Your friends/family should be understanding and if they aren’t, get some new fu***ng friends. •you won’t f**k it up. Tomorrow is another day to choose foods that are good for you and learn more ways to navigate whatever type of food struggles you’re going through. Still feel overwhelmed? Talk to a professional. Obsessing or extreme anxiety over food happens. In a wide spectrum. Your challenges are real and it’s ok to want to change things. *sometime you NEED chips and salsa. I get it. But you know what I’m talking about here. If you have specific health, wellness, aesthetic etc goals, you know fried chips aren’t the answer. 📸skinny margaritaS not pictured with my chopped salad with added mushrooms.

My clients like to tell me that I make it look easy. 👀 Let’s start with the end: it’s never easy. It’s all a process. We get stronger. The movements change. Life changes. We have set backs. We make improvements. The focus shifts - in helpful ways and some times not so helpful ways (often when we don’t even realize it). Be cautious when comparing outcomes, processes, or what you see with your eyes. The way we view others can be good inspiration, but I advise you to dig deeper into your own “why” and start believing that you can make it look easy too. *I do have to admit sometimes I like hearing it bc it affirms my efforts to give clarity, direction, and good cues. 😉 #easy #perception #work #mindmagic #vibes #perserverance #cowboysfit #veganpersonaltrainer #personaltrainer #keepgoing #vegansofig

Sunday morning brunch. All vegan and delicious.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a wide variety of vegan options!

🌈 Eat your veggies!
Your body doesn’t give a s**t about making you “look hawt”.
It’s going to keep you alive and kicking. Treat it well with micronutrients and you’ll see it give back. And then some.

I’ve got one surefire trick for finding healthier options when dining out….

Here it is 👉
ASK.

Browse the menu and ASK for what you need. Don’t let your assumptions dictate the nutrition that best suits your needs.

Hi, how are ya? 👋

But really, how are you? Be honest. I’m here for it. You can save your “I’m good.” And “can’t complain” for the passerby.

Our lives are totally complex and nuanced and maybe you don’t want to tell me everything. That’s ok.

You don’t have to pretend everything is ok all the time.
You can still smile and enjoy things even when you’re sad about other things.

Give yourself some grace to feel your feelings when they feel contradictory. Life is weird. And we’re all in it.
