Don't Let Mindset Hold You Back from Success

 


DON'T LET MINDSET HOLD YOU BACK FROM SUCCESS!


2020 brought many challenges. It also presented me with opportunities to reflect, shift & grow. I was drawn to work with an amazing business coach who really connected with me & my visions in life. I wouldn’t have had the time or even stopped enough to look into it, if it wasn’t for all the “free time” 2020 gifted us with. I knew this was the time to go for it, or I may never. Honestly, I didn’t even know what “it” was, but I always felt there was more for me to accomplish in this world.

One of the biggest game-changers for me came in our money mindset course. My thoughts about money were actually holding me back. I always associated wealth as a source of evil. The Bible taught me that it “is the root of all evil”. I had taken it to heart. I also saw those who were wealthy as those who had their priorities wrong. The only way to be that wealthy was to either work really hard (and have no time for family or themselves) or to step on others to get where they are.

I started to dive into what God really tells us about wealth. I realized that it’s not money that is evil… it is the way it is used or prioritized that is. It is THE LOVE (or obsession with) money that I must avoid. Money is only as evil as the hands it lies in. Wealth often leads us to sinful ways, but it doesn’t HAVE to. BOOM! Game Changer. I learned that God DOES choose some of us to be stewards of His money & He trusts us with it. I am capable of having wealth AND being a follower of Christ. It’s not an either-or. I must be prepared to face temptation & have a plan to use it for His glory before I receive it, but wealth is a gift from God that I should enjoy. I needn’t repel it any longer.

I see now that God has even bigger plans for me than I even know. There are people who need me in a big way somewhere. When that becomes clear to me, I want to have the ability to give in a bigger capacity than I ever imagined.

I am seeking others to join me on this journey! Feeling called to do big things? Ready to take big steps to accomplish it? Email me to learn more!

Live Abundantly,

💗, Kristen

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings - Part 2

THE ROLE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM This "epidemic" of recurring hamstring injuries is, in part, due to the under-valued role of the nervous system.  There is often too much focus on the structural "damage" and isolated limitations vs the overall dysfunction. I'm not saying that treating the damaged tissue is not important. But, in order to minimize recurrence, we must look beyond the isolated injury and seek to understand the integrated, "big picture" of the problem. IS IT ACTUAL DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE? One interesting concept to understand is that the tension of our muscles are completely under the control of our nervous system.  Your brain is in constant awareness of the tension of all your muscles.  Unless you change your nervous system, you will continue to sense tightness.  As mentioned in Part 1, stretching isn't necessarily the answer to resolving tension. The relief felt by isolated muscle stretching only lasts for about 20 minutes.   ...

Those "Tricky" Hamstrings (Part 3)

So far, we have discussed the consequences of OVER STRETCHING and the role of the NERVOUS SYSTEM in treating and preventing hamstring injuries.  Now it's time to dive in to the ROTATIONAL component of our hamstrings.   We cannot treat the hamstring group in just one plane of motion.  Look at the diagram and notice that there are some hamstring muscles that attach to the inside (medial) side of the knee, and others that attach to the outside (lateral) side of the knee. When working together, the medial and lateral hamstrings will act in a coordinated manner to bend the knee and extend the hip.   Individually, the medial hamstrings turn the thigh inward (Internal Rotation or IR) and the lateral hamstrings turn the thigh outward (External Rotation or ER).  This means that the hamstrings are also a crucial player in side-to-side and rotational movements.  On the same lines, the hamstrings will act at the upper attachment at the pelvis.  The med...

Understanding the Pelvic Floor - GAMECHANGER!

WHY ARE YOU CARRYING THAT EVERYWHERE, MOM?  If you've bumped into me lately, you've likely seen this new "friend" poking out of my bag or sitting on my desk. I've had a "bones only" pelvis for a while now, but this one is a new addition. I've been under the wing of the great @hayleykavapt this month tackling a deeper understanding of the pelvic floor. I've understood how to INFLUENCE those deep muscles via the bony positioning and activation of the larger muscles surrounding the pelvis, but I didn't fully understand how to ACTIVATE and RELAX those muscles and when. I was pretty intimidated by those deep pelvis muscles, to be honest. I can say that adding this awareness and cueing to the exercises I've been giving out for years has made a huge difference in myself... and I'm excited to share this new appreciation with you! After just a few times practicing, my feet felt much more grounded when running today! Better hamstring and glute ...
