This week I share my acronym PESTS for the things that stand in our way from our best in this life. Whether it’s our fitness routine (or lack thereof), food choices or the way we spend our days to our relationships and to how we show up in this world.
We set a plan, we have a backup, we tell our husband/wife/friend to wake us up, support us, we end up not sleeping well, the kids have the flu, our alarm didn’t go off and of course, we have a work deadline….
I’m getting stressed imagining this scenario and then on top of that suggesting you “try to fit in exercise.”
This doesn’t work FitMama.
The truth is this –
These one off things feel like every day, don’t they, year after year.
And if it’s not one thing this week, it’s another thing next week.
WTF right!?
I get it.
If some version of this is happening in your world (hint: it happens to all of us) these could be summed up as PESTS:
PERCEIVED
Expectations
Stress
Tension
Social norms / societal pressures
So and so wants me to do this…or that…
Stress from bills, jobs, overwhelm, kids events, commitments, appointments etc
Tension naturally crated in our body that leads to everything from muscle tension to hormone imbalance, inflammation to leaky gut.
Then on top of that, there’s the good old societal norms (no pressure)!
If you are doing all the “right things” and still feeling like crap, or mentally and physically NOT at your best – something isn’t RIGHT
Who’s rules are you living by?
Whose goals are you aiming for?
I dive into all of this and more on this week’s episode, tune in now!
