Motivational Monday ~ Listening

Good Morning! We want to start this week with a focus on listening. We leave it up to you to decide how you want to guide your listening focus but we will provide you with some ideas to get the ball rolling. As we live our lives, it is easy to get carried away with everything that is going on in our minds that we barely listen to what others are saying. Whether it be in a business or social setting, we are distracted by our own thoughts that we really don’t hear what is being said by co-workers, friends or family. One option for this week is to concentrate on being an active and responsive listener. Really take a moment, look at the person talking to you and hear what they are saying. After absorbing what you have heard, think about the reason they are sharing it with you and what response they need and/ or want to hear. Demonstrate to the person, you are listening, you hear what they are saying and you understand it. Another type of listening you could work on is listening to your body. What is your body telling you to do, what does it need and deserve. Often we forget to sit back and really take in how we feel and take care of ourselves the way we should. Does it need more sleep, more water, foam rolling, a massage, an intense workout, a walk… the list is endless depending on what you have been doing. Take this week to really dig deep into your body’s signals and do exactly what it is telling you. The last one we want to mention is listening to your inner self that sees the best version of you. Listen to your yourself when it says to stay on track with your eating and fitness. Listen to the voice inside you telling you to keep working toward your goals and never to give up. No matter how dreadful it might seem, push past and get to it! Depending on what you need this week, choose the type of listening you need to work on the most and focus your energy on taking an active role in improving it all week long!

Listen to your mind, body and spirit as you achieve your dreams!

Get Fit For It,
