A Better Approach (feat. Alicia Wood)

Sometimes we're waiting for the skies to part or the timing to align for us to do the things we say we want to do...errr...need to do.   We feel like we have to have certain things in place to do the things that will get us what we want. But what if there's a better approach? This week Alicia Wood of Fuel Your Fire Podcast joins Jenn to discuss the alternative—an ultimately easier way to get from where we are now to where we want to be. The best part? This applies to all aspects of life, not just our wellness. You may want to listen to this one twice to catch all the pearls of wisdom. Outline:Welcome back & intro today's topicMeet todays guest, Alicia WoodAlicia's StoryGrowing up in a home with lots of treats, not a fitness person, smokerQuit smoking after a couple attempts & gained weightBad social anxietyEventually becoming a fitness trainer and coachWhat made the difference between attempts to quit smoking and actually quittingBreaking & replacing habits vs creating new onesHave, do, be NOT be, do, haveTo be somebody, consider how they think, what they feel, what their beliefs areYou can have the thoughts & feel the emotions of those those thoughtsPut it into action on the fitness sideWhat actually happens when we say "I don't like working out."How to do it differently with be, do,havePut it into action on the food sideControl & ownership of your health & weightThe story of the box under Alicia's desk Creating the life you want for yourselfHow this approach spills over into other areas of lifeLinks:Become a MemberConnect with us!
