Anchoring anxiety into productivity

I, like you, feel pretty unfocused and have a million thoughts running through my brain dome.

I usually suppress that by a non-healthy dose of scrolling, Netflix binging, or Youtube.

you know, regular high function anxiety

A whirlwind of thoughts but yet never taking any action. Too many things to choose from, so we choose none of them.

Do you feel me?

This anxiety is not new, but right now, it seems to be pretty intense.

Whenever I get this way, I try to look for alignment and actionable.

I look for tunnel vision. Focus on one thing and let everything settle around it. At minimum, at least one thing gets accomplished.

I look for something that is a challenge. If it's something easy, I know I will half-ass it.

The challenge also needs to be something of value. Setting a record of watching NetFlix every day isn't going to produce anything.

For me, my challenge is writing. I have a long-term goal of writing a book. Yet, I need to sharpen my skills.

I also want to improve my storytelling.

My own story

My student's story

My Business's story.

Writing has never been natural for me. Years ago, I would say, " I am a horrible writer."

That was an excuse

What I am not great at is practicing. Practicing the things I suck at doing.

So, My daily challenge is to write at least 500 words a day. Not an easy task. I have to remove the ridiculous expectation of perfect.

I have to remove the idea of making a point or lesson. I need to show up.

Is it that easy, right?

We always preach to students.

" eat a salad " " go for a walk" "

but for us, that is easy

Writing is not easy, and that's the point.

500 words by the end of every day

Here is where I need your help

I need 30 topics.

I need you to be critical in the review

Throw out anything you would like me to write about or that you would like to learn. The topics don't have to be strength and fitness. They can be quite anything.

I would appreciate it.

NOW! How can you take this same recipe and apply it to your health?

Here is what the Prevail Instructors think would be great for you and your health.

Pick a challenge and create a path.

100 swings ( Any combination)

10:00 of resets ( we will have videos)

20:00 of walking ( #optoutside but mall walking is still great)

You can choose one or a combo of all three. The goal is to do any challenge daily, no matter what.

If you would like to join our group. If you need accountability and support, let me know below by throwing out your favorite emoji!

Btw, I hacked day one by making this post 500 words. Kidding, it's 450.

So, eat your damn veggies and go for an easy walk
