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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, what if the idea of growth wasn\u2019t <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">measured by how hard you pushed or the progress you could quantify?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different times call for different measurements of success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the going gets tough, you need to find a way to persevere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, perseverance doesn&#8217;t have one definition. The only way to get better isn\u2019t through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s Time To Play Chess<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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><a href=\"https:\/\/bornfitness.us5.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=8b2040ea483e64fc7fd10c8da&amp;id=b1ebfdba0a&amp;e=44e8861a4a\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just as we\u2019ve done.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, there\u2019s a dark side to the adaptable mentality. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing what you can<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not the same as \u201cgetting better at all costs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, buying into that mentality can be damaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the reality:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re going to miss workouts.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And have crappy sessions.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll snack more.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might not even recognize your diet.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019re sleeping less because of stress.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe you\u2019re sleeping more because of stress.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will all feel different \u2014 and that\u2019s OK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the situation, part of getting through all of this is to<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> not <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">set unrealistic expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is No Wrong Move<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, more than ever, <\/span><b>it\u2019s important to control what you can control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, as people, we need to support one another because none of us know what the future holds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I spoke with Arnold Schwarzenegger. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he had <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bA_2AgU05L4\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open-heart surgery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might feel like you\u2019re changing your expectations, but really you\u2019re building momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better times are coming, but that doesn\u2019t mean right now isn\u2019t hard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fuck the haters that tell you otherwise.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, it\u2019s not about good or bad decisions. It\u2019s about action vs. inaction, and any action is a win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, we don\u2019t build strength to lift heavier weights. We build strength to help us through moments like this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As people, we evolve and adapt to situations. That is how we survive and thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your fitness goals will be there whether you can tackle them today, tomorrow, or 3 months from now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create energy where you can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conserve energy when you feel drained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, remember to stay strong and keep smiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you do, those steps will accumulate, you\u2019ll see more clearly, the pieces will be in place, and then\u2026.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">checkmate.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be honest: the idea of \u201cgetting better\u201d isn\u2019t always what it seems.\u00a0 The obvious approach is that improvement is measured by growth.
