XO Erica: Lift, Love, Mom, Repeat.™

This is my first episode I've done in 6 months and just like with fitness, we need to keep it consistent. What tends to happen is we start and then we fall off. How are you doing with the goals that you've set for yourself last month? 

Have you ever based your decisions on someone else's opinion? Don't let anyone's opinion of you get to your heart Protect your ideas, your dreams, and your goals It's important to stand your ground and go after what you want... whatever IT is Keep people aroudn you that support you and cheer for you. Hold them close. If nothing was holding you back, what would you declare? What would you go for?

How do you keep yourself motivated?What do you do when you're struggling? Motivation will always come in waves.You won't always be motivated, so you have to start building healthy habits. That's how you get to the next level. That's how you create confidence. That's how you become resilient. You show up for YOU.

  What do you want? Join me in this episode as I take you through some questions that I ask my clients to help get you to the why of your goal and how you can change your mindset to go after them. Relaxation & Renewal Brunchhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/relaxation-renewal-brunch-tickets-61676720732

I get this question all the time.  Most of the time we want something because we're looking outside of ourselves and reaching for a feeling that this "goal" will bring us. Only focusing on ab exercises are not going to get you a six pack. You cannot spot-reduce fat.   Ab Video:https://www.facebook.com/erica.hoese/videos/1741545485929747/

What makes us have an all or nothing approach to fitness? How can we view it differently? In this episode, you'll learn about building your body equity. It's what I teach my clients to live a more balanced life, because the truth is, nothing is 100%, but by staying consistent with our plan, we can learn to find a balance that's true to us. xo-erica.com

We get triggered every day, by family, friends, partners, our kids--something happens and instead of responding from a place of joy and ease, we usually react--which causes fear, annoyance, anger, impatience, and stress. Triggers are an opportunity for us to go within and observe our feelings and understand what is causing us to react this way. The question is how do we over come this? Keep listening to learn how to cope with this, by responding instead of reacting.

Lifting weights can be intimidating, especially for women.  Here are my three tips to focus on when starting out. Focus on Form. Keep it Consistent. Schedule it in.

What would it look like to give all your focus in one area of your life? Your health? Your nutrition? Your family? When you get clear about what you want to create, you can apply focus in any area of your life.

My mission is to help you create a strong body, strong mind, and strong spirit and empower you to become more, even though sometimes you may feel like you can't. I've been there and I know you are capable of so much more.
