55 - Your Valentine's (Fitness) Relationship Review

It's Valentine's Day. Yeesh... time to audit your relationship with fitness 6 weeks into 2020. Are you hanging in there? Has your motivation disappeared like that waxy heart-shaped box of bonbons? A heavy majority of fitness resolutions are now completely dead. That's the norm, but there's no need to walk away from physical activity completely. Let's take advantage of "love day" and reflect on where you're at and what you can do to reboot your routine if you're stuck in a rut. _______________________________ Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/kellydoell [https://www.patreon.com/kellydoell] _______________________________ 10 Things Killing Your Motivation to Move (Free Download): http://kellydoell.com/downloads/ [http://kellydoell.com/downloads/] _______________________________ Kelly on IG: @kelly.doell @happilyeveractiveshow _______________________________ Get Your Copy of Feel Like it: http://kellydoell.com/feel-like-it/ [http://kellydoell.com/feel-like-it/]

54 - Can Self-Discipline be Enjoyable?

Does staying discipline have to suck? No, but you'd never know if you'd look at how popular culture treats this important part of active living.

53 - The Myth of Laziness in Fitness

Let's talk about laziness. Have we oversimplified this complex concept? Of course! I'll use examples from nature to make the point that we're still animals wired to see energy expenditure as precious, even risky. We all choose the path of least resistance, some more than others. But in the name of self-compassion, we need to give ourselves a break and stop beating ourselves up for being less active than we want. At the same time, we can overcome society's relentless pursuit of making exercise obsolete by being more mentally innovative. Spoiler: stronger willpower isn't the answer. _______________ Pic on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/41lh45/sheep_snow_path/ [https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/41lh45/sheep_snow_path/] _______________ Buy Feel Like It: https://www.amazon.ca/Feel-Like-Makeover-Motivation-Happily-ebook/dp/B07NFF9G8N [https://www.amazon.ca/Feel-Like-Makeover-Motivation-Happily-ebook/dp/B07NFF9G8N] _______________ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kellydoell [https://www.patreon.com/kellydoell] _______________ Kelly on Twitter: @kellydoell Kelly on Instagram: @kelly.doell HEA on Instagram: @happilyeveractiveshow
