Reason #487 Why Exercise Is Essential
In the beginning exercise is all about how it makes you look. We all know that jeans fit better when you do some cardio right?
Then somewhere along the way we find out there are health benefits to exercise. For each minute of exercise you add a minute to your life, it helps lower cholesterol and all sorts of other things.
And then at some point you realize the biggest benefit of all ~ exercising keeps you sane!
Admit it. You run a business, have a family, are probably juggling summer activities with the kids right now and sometimes things just get a little crazy.
This has definitely been the case for me these last few weeks. I was feeling really unsettled and not focused and quite frankly a bit crazy. I also have not been working out very much for the last month with everything that has been going on.
Yesterday I decided to heck with the schedule, I was going for a swim no matter what. Wow! I felt like an entirely new person as soon as I hit the water. I felt more relaxed and focused and had so much more energy during the day. I not only got much more done yesterday than I tought I would, but I managed to bypass the Costco sized jar of Nutella that I have been eating out of all week. Note to self, next time you see it at the store ~ Walk Away!
So get outside today and exercise. It doesn’t have to be uber intense or for a very long time. Even taking a 20 minute walk is enough to keep the crazies at bay.

What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
Permission To Fall Apart: The Truth About Resetting Your Energy
What if your next breakthrough is on the other side of your next melt down? There’s a side to energy and mindset work that no one talks about. Most teachings only talk about being positive. As in – ignore whatever you truly feel and pretend everything is amazing in hopes that you eventually believe it.…
You are too funny! I often tell this story the other way around. I’m not a “sitter”, but I love learning! Since I hate sitting, I hate being in class, or sitting in church for even an hour. But just like excersise… once you do it, you are so glad you did!
Haha! Amy that is so true. I’m with you. I dread every class I go to because of sitting so much, but when I come out inspired at the end, it is all worth it. And I must admit that as much as I love to exercise I spend just as much time whining about it:)
