I got to listen to Dr. Heidi Grant speak on fixed mindset versus #growthmindset recently at #Perspectives2020 , and I got so much out of that session. Anything we try to do should not be able proving ourselves to others or demonstrating our abilities. It should be about IMproving ourselves. The analogy that resonated with me most (because I’m guilty 🙋🏼‍♀️) was the kid in school that keeps doing poorly in math. They make it about doing well, and when they fail over and over again, they feel defeated and internalize that they “just aren’t a math person” and that they “just aren’t good at math”. People aren’t born great at anything. Sure some people are born with genetics that predispose them to being stronger at certain things, but to be truly great at anything takes a significant amount of time, effort, and practice. It means failing over and over again, but learning from the failures and using the experiences to do things differently next time and hopefully achieve your goal. That is the true meaning of having a growth mindset. Of course you still get upset if you fail, but you don’t let it defeat you. You consult an expert, you try a different approach, you do SOMETHING differently next time and the time after that until you make it. You can’t fail if you’re always working to improve yourself, because even if you don’t achieve the specific goal you set out to do, you still learned, you grew, and you’ll know better next time. . . . . #heidigrant #mindset #mindsetiseverything #mindsetmatters #mindsetshift #fail #failure #failforward #growth #success #successquotes #successmindset #successful #motivation #motivationalquotes #motivational #motivated #inspiration #inspire #inspirational #inspirationalquotes #perspective #positivevibes #positivity #positiveenergy #positivemindset #positivethinking #positivevibesonly

I never post full body shots because I gained so much weight in 2019, but I am SO freaking proud of this. I’ve been working my ass off - literally - and I finally feel like I’m getting back to my happy and healthy self 💕 . . I posted this picture on Fb and it sparked a lot of questions, so I’ll fill you guys in. 2019 was a really hard year for me. I spent 5 months in school plus working full time, I moved to a new city away from my my family/friends for a relationship, had relationship issues, and gained a ton of weight in the process. I was exhausted, stressed out, depressed, and hated myself for letting myself slide backward so far in my fitness journey. After moving back home and being on my own with the time and energy to invest in myself, I’ve seen amazing results despite gyms being closed. . . This is not a result of any special diet, drink, pill, wrap, gimmick, etc. I’ve been doing programs from @beachbody On Demand including #countryheat for #cardio and #chaleanextreme for #strength and #endurance training. Yes I do both 6x a week; so 60-90 minutes daily. I follow an 80-20 mindset with my #nutrition for balance to minimize cravings and I keep relatively healthy snacks around to munch on when they do come up. I do drink #shakeology each morning for breakfast, not for weight loss but rather for the nutritional benefits and how it makes me feel. I use a lot of the #allmax line from @supplementkingfredericton and have tried the protein, fat burn accelerator, impact igniter pre workout, and BCAAs. This is two and a half months of #consistency and I’m nowhere near done. . . It’s never too late to make a change. I’ve struggled with my weight for years. I was the fittest I’ve ever been in 2016/2017 & I’ll get back there. I’m done beating myself up for failing (again) and I’m done feeling defeated. I am strong, and so are you. You can do this too😘 . . . . #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnation #fitnessjourney #fitnessgirl #fitnessfreaks #fitnessaddict #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #weightlifting #girlswholift #lifestylechange #motivation #motivational #inspiration #inspirational #beachbody #beachbodyondemand

People don’t just find themselves suddenly at the top of the mountain. They’ve climbed a steep hill to get to the top. Maybe they had to work up to it over time. Tried and only made it 1/4 of the way, then 1/2, 3/4, and eventually to the top. You can’t call yourself a #failure if you never give up. #Believe in yourself, know that you can #achieve your #goal if you’ll only put in the work. It may not be easy, and you may have setbacks, but it will feel all the more amazing when you finally make it. . . . . #motivation #motivationalquotes #motivational #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #inspire #inspirational #inspiringquotes #positivevibes #positivity #positivequotes #positiveenergy #positivemindset #positivethinking #positivevibesonly #positivethoughts #grow #growth #growthmindset #goals #goaldigger #goalgetter #strength #strongwomen #resilience #determination

A few years ago I was in the best shape of my life, and then I allowed other things to sway my focus. I ended up in a place where I struggled with depression, I hated myself for letting myself gain back the weight, and I had a lot of regrets. I struggled to get it under control for quite a while. . . I’ve been back on track for several months now and already feeling SO much better. Yes I’ve lost weight, but I’ve also gained muscle definition, strength, confidence, happiness, and most of all my overall mood and mental health is in a much better place. Weight loss is a difficult process for a lot of people, and it’s not just about physical strength. The most difficult component to a weight loss journey is the mental struggle that goes along with it. There will be days you don’t feel like doing a workout, where you’re tempted to pig out on junk food. If you do, you may think “I already cheated one day so may as well make it a cheat weekend” and before you know it it’s been a cheat month (🙋🏼‍♀️ been there). You may have an unsupportive partner that eats junk around you constantly that tempts you and makes it harder. . . You have to train your mind to be strong. Train it to take the failures and use them to do better next time instead of wallowing in self pity and regret when you have a misstep. Every time you succeed and you skip the treat someone dangles in front of you or you push through a workout when you were so close to not doing one, I promise you that it will get easier. Those wins will feel GOOD and it will prove to yourself that you CAN do this, so you will have an easier time with that mental battle each and every time it comes up in the future. . . Having discipline isn’t easy, and you may find it “painful” in a lot of ways. Take it from someone with experience; that pain is nothing compared to what you could feel if you don’t push through it. . . #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fit #fitnation #fitnessfreaks #fitnessgirl #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #mindset #mindsetiseverything #motivation #inspiration #growthmindset #motivational #inspirational #youcandoit #discipline #selfcare #strength #positivevibes
