As the year comes to a close, people are naturally going to be talking about their New Year’s resolutions. You're going to have physical goals, career goals, and life goals. But want to know what I think you should really be focusing on in 2019? Growing as a human. Here's a couple things I've noted in my journal that I'd like to share with you. I'll share more in each weekly communication. But for this week......
“When we focus our attention on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our current behavior to our internal standards and values. We become self-conscious as objective evaluators of ourselves.” I believe self-awareness is the greatest gift a person can have. But it takes you stopping your world and truly wanting to become aware of who you really are; what you really want in your life. Here is my message: Leave yourself some time and space every single day.  Nail down your strengths so you can discover your passion. Keep a journal. Be a great listener.
If you make this one of your 2019 priorities, you will grow happier and more successful. I promise that.
Looking at the negative, seeing the glass as half empty, and complaining are the absolute biggest wastes of time a human being can engage in. I highly recommend, whether it is through therapy, reading books or listening to podcasts of people/role model leaders that teach you how to stop doing this or just kicking the habit, cut your complaining in half till you are no longer used to just doing it without thinking. Systematically. Post-it notes. Listening to positive podcasts. Doing meditation. Whatever helps you do less complaining. It truly is one of the biggest things that can stand in the way of success, both professionally and personally. It would be remiss not to have it on your list.
If you need a break from all the shopping and hustle and bustle of the last minute holiday stressors, come join me on Sunday for Sinner SPIN at 9:15 am. It'll be 60 minutes of you on the bike with no distractions, no to do lists and no worries. Sign up on Mindbody under events.
Just a reminder as your choosing your classes for next week, we have a modified schedule. We will be bringing you our special holiday themed classes. Remember, you can always just stay on the bike and do a traditional ride if the extra stuff is not for you.
Come get your "last chance workout" in before we close our doors and break for Christmas. You all know you'll need that one last mental reprieve before you start the craze of your festivities. The fabulous thing about the holiday workouts is that they are fun as hell.  You definitely don't want to miss this one. ** Open gym hours from 6:00 - 8:30 am and then from 9:45 - 11:00 am.
 It'll be a great way to start your day! ** Open gym hours from 6:00 - 9:00 am and then from 10:15 am - 11:00 am.
Join me for the opening day of 2019.....Commit yourself to riding for life; to a new year; new beginnings; closing the door to yesterday; starting not only a new year but also a new day; new visions; more love, more laughs, more you time."
As we transition from one year to the next, there's usually some housekeeping to do, so I'd like to take a moment to make sure you are up to date on all things...
We're happy to say that Ki is an official face on the schedule and her Wednesday night class will be a permanent fixure effective January 1, 2019!!
The evening classes will both have a start time of 5:30 pm effective January 1, 2019.
If you haven't taken 3 minutes to complete the short survey for SWEAT, I encourage you to take a moment to do so. I ask because I care. It's completely anonymous, so please feel free to share any thoughts you have. Thank you to those that have sent in their responses so far. There have been some meaningful comments and questions and I will be addressing all of those in a Q&A email in January. Please click here for survey.
Your new packet of paperwork will be available starting 12/27/18 to fill out. Training clients will have a new waiver, a goal sheet and a body fat sheet. Please either take it home with you to complete or allow yourself 10 minutes before your training session. All class peeps will also need to update your waiver on file and you can fill out anytime before or after a class.
