Let\u2019s be honest: the idea of \u201cgetting better\u201d isn\u2019t always what it seems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The obvious approach is that improvement is measured by growth. And growth is measured by accomplishing more than what was done prior. And \u201caccomplishment\u201d inherently implies a comparison to a prior situation or time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, what if the idea of growth wasn\u2019t <\/span>just <\/span><\/i>measured by how hard you pushed or the progress you could quantify?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What if getting better was defined by finding joy, calmness, or clarity at the moment? Those traits require improvement of self-awareness over productivity; of self-care over competitiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Different times call for different measurements of success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the going gets tough, you need to find a way to persevere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, perseverance doesn’t have one definition. The only way to get better isn\u2019t through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone that says otherwise is either too stubborn to see the error of their own ways, bound to burn out, or too selfish to recognize that one person\u2019s fuel is another person\u2019s fire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are hard times. COVID-19 has ravaged us all in different ways, some more than others. But, all of us are affected and impacted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing is normal and no one knows what to expect. But, there\u2019s a bigger lesson within. Normal is always relative to time and situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A global pandemic makes us all stop and think. But, the ability to pause, adjust expectations, and find joy in stillness will pay off now and during any time of trouble or challenge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Time To Play Chess<\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to your health and fitness, I will always encourage you to do as much as you can to be healthy. It\u2019s why I\u2019ve been inspired by all of the fit pros trying to make more workouts available, <\/span>just as we\u2019ve done.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there\u2019s a dark side to the adaptable mentality. <\/span>Doing what you can<\/span><\/i> is not the same as \u201cgetting better at all costs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also seen too much shaming of people\u2019s time or struggles. Just because we\u2019re on lockdown doesn\u2019t mean you need to get in the best shape of your life. Or, eat healthier than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This mindset doesn\u2019t only apply during times of lockdown. When life throws you obstacles, sometimes it\u2019s better to play chess than checkers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Movements become more subtle. You take more time. It might not even look like you\u2019re moving forward, but \u2014 when done right \u2014 you\u2019re setting yourself up to win in the end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal growth can occur in many ways, and it\u2019s easy to assume that physical fitness becomes easier when there\u2019s more time. But, that\u2019s just a fallacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

More importantly, buying into that mentality can be damaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A big part of being healthy is not only being kind to your body but also kind to your mind and heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the reality:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to miss workouts.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And have crappy sessions.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll snack more.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You might not even recognize your diet.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re sleeping less because of stress.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re sleeping more because of stress.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It will all feel different \u2014 and that\u2019s OK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever the situation, part of getting through all of this is to<\/span> not <\/span><\/i>set unrealistic expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m as low-stress a person as you\u2019ll find, but that has all changed. Each day is a new challenge of juggling my kids being at home, making adjustments for my businesses, watching friends becoming sick, seeing people die, experiencing friends losing their jobs, and someone managing the emotional weight of it all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, given all of that, I know that I have not been impacted anywhere as much as millions of others, and it\u2019s still difficult for me. The point: hardship is hardship. And when you\u2019re in it, you must recognize and respect it. For yourself and others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is No Wrong Move<\/span><\/h2>\n

Right now, more than ever, <\/span>it\u2019s important to control what you can control<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spend your time focusing on doing the little things that fill you up, removing what drains you (as much as possible), and staying healthy and keeping your head above water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, as people, we need to support one another because none of us know what the future holds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, I do know this: the love, kindness, and patience you give to yourself and others will make you stronger through the pandemic and when we create our new normal moving forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I spoke with Arnold Schwarzenegger. <\/span>The <\/span><\/i>Arnold Schwarzenegger. The same guy who used to train for 5-6 hours per day. Even he says it\u2019s important to adjust and celebrate the small victories that you might not have even acknowledged in prior times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When he had <\/span>open-heart surgery<\/span><\/a>, he didn\u2019t start with the same expectations that propelled every aspect of his success. He had a bigger goal but began by adapting and tackling reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That meant building up the strength to use a walker. Then taking 100 steps. Followed by walking unassisted. Each \u201cmilestone\u201d was a reason to be proud and moved him closer to where he could do more. Remember, this was coming from a guy who used to squat more than 500 pounds, and now a walker was a success. It wasn\u2019t \u201cnormal\u201d but it was necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It might feel like you\u2019re changing your expectations, but really you\u2019re building momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Better times are coming, but that doesn\u2019t mean right now isn\u2019t hard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you can\u2019t see clearly, it\u2019s essential to focus on the next step, knowing that each one will take you out of the fog and towards a time and place where things are better.<\/span><\/p>\n

The healthiest thing you can do is learn to celebrate the small wins, whether it\u2019s the walk you take, the vegetable you eat, the friend you call, or even the deep breath and reminder that \u201cthis will pass.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fuck the haters that tell you otherwise.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Sometimes, it\u2019s not about good or bad decisions. It\u2019s about action vs. inaction, and any action is a win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, we don\u2019t build strength to lift heavier weights. We build strength to help us through moments like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

As people, we evolve and adapt to situations. That is how we survive and thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your fitness goals will be there whether you can tackle them today, tomorrow, or 3 months from now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create energy where you can.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conserve energy when you feel drained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, remember to stay strong and keep smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you do, those steps will accumulate, you\u2019ll see more clearly, the pieces will be in place, and then\u2026.<\/span>checkmate.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
