LOOK AT YOU THE SAME WAY YOUR PET LOOKS AT YOU

LOOK AT YOU THE SAME WAY YOUR PET LOOKS AT YOU

Isn’t it amazing the way our pets look at us? They are so pure and innocent that they only see the good things on us. It doesn’t matter if we wake up with a huge spot on the face, if we fail an exam or the balance of our bank account…they always and only see US!

Remember that what makes you worth it, it is not your appearance, your wage, your fails or your achievements…it is YOU! If you don’t believe me, ask you pet’s eyes and if you don’t have any pets or if your pet is a lizard ask your friend’s pet!

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY PRETTY PEOPLE!🙌🏻

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC?

When you buy a carpet, do you expect it to fly and to save you from buying the next flight tickets? I tried…but it didn’t work.

This is exactly what many people expect from diets and training programs: MAGIC AND IMMEDIATE RESULTS!
When we are desperate to get results, we get impatient, in many occasion we stop thinking clearly and we want to believe that anything that is labelled as “quick and easy” is our magic solution, but unfortunately it isn’t. So, the next time you think about living a healthier life, getting more active, looking leaner or building muscle bear in mind that:

-What is worthy in this life is never ever given for free, and this is exactly what makes it worthy.

-If getting leaner or building muscle was so easy, everybody would be lean and showing off a muscled body.

-Unrealistic goals will make you feel frustrated, so set short and long term SMART and 100% personalized goals.

-It is better to take your time while building new habits. You are more likely to stick to gradual changes than to radical changes.

-Enjoy every single progress you make. You can progress only when you do a good job!.

-Without mental and physical health, you won’t enjoy life like you should, so try to focus more on being healthy rather than just looking “better”.

Body Signals

Posted on | by Elisa | Leave a Comment on Body Signals

DO YOU PAY ATTENTION OR DO YOU IGNORE THEM?

Sometimes our body tries to alert us that something inside is wrong, but we don’t listen! Many times we learn to live with these signals and we just pay attention when the problem is too big or irreversible, so it is very important to learn how to listen to our body to avoid further damages.

These signals can alert us from not just physical health issues, but also from mental health issues, from a digestive problem to an eating disorder, from a serious illness to stress. All of them have signals!.
When it comes to physical health issues we normally go to the doctor pretty quickly. But what happens when our body is giving us signals about our mental health? Are we so keen to identify the signals or to seek professional advice?

Unfortunately NO!

So, here is my advice pretty people. Even if you haven’t noticed any signals, take time every week for…

INTROSPECTION

For a self-examination. Analize yourself, your personality, your actions and reactions, your motivations…Pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, your verbal and non verbal communication.

Is everything looking fine? Cool! Continue doing what you are doing!

Is there anything that you feel is not right or that makes you feel uncomfy? Identify what it is, the origin of it and how to stop it or to change it, and if you realise you can’t do it by yourself, ask for help or seek the advice of professionals.

Remember that you are more than just a body, you are a precious human being that deserves to feel good from the inside to the outside!.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!❤️

Who Said After Weekend Guilt?

WHO SAID AFTER WEEKEND GUILT?

I looooooove eating! I think it is one of the most wonderful pleasures in life, do you think the same way?


Not so long ago, I used to feel guilty after the weekends. I used refrain myself from eating things that I loved during weekdays, so I could have a cheat meal during the weekend. The problem was that instead of enjoying a little of each food just in one cheat meal, it looked like my stomach was insatiable! So I ended up eating all sort of food from breakfast to dinner, ruining my week progress!😢
This made me realize that a “cheat meal” was and still is not made for me. I have a healthy and balanced diet everyday, which has place for every kind of food any day.

This doesn’t mean I don’t control myself, I do, remember it is all about balance and if you have a goal in mind like losing fat, grow muscle mass or just maintain your actual shape, you need to control you macros and calories.


Balance eating with no forbidden foods, makes me keep my mental health and enjoy life.


What about you? Do you enjoy eating?

ADAPT TO THE UNEXPECTED

Posted on | by Elisa

ADAPT TO THE UNEXPECTED

Because life brings constant changes…BE PREPARED! Many of the changes that life brings us are unexpected, unwanted and sometimes so drastic that they can leave us in shock, still and unable to move. There are times that we can feel like those changes are like little stones on our way, but other times they look like the Fitz Roy in Argentina.
So, what to do to prepare yourself to the unexpected?

1. TAKE CONTROL OF THE THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL.
For example, you normally workout in the evenings, but now that you can meet your friends, the weather is quite nice and the pubs have reopened, you want to make plans with your friends in the evenings, but at the same time you want to stick to your program…so just wake up earlier and move your workouts to the mornings!

2. ACCEPT THE NEW CIRCUMSTANCES AND ADAPT TO THEM.
Things get more complicated when the unexpected and the unwanted mountains arrive to our lives…so the sooner you accept the new circumstances, stop thinking about how things were before and you start to adapt to your “new life” the better for you!. For example, imagine you have been training hard to run a half marathon for months now and you sprain your ankle…what are you going to do? Of course you are going to feel like s*** until you accept the new situation, but this doesn’t mean you will never be able to run a half marathon, you will just need to postpone it and you will have even more time to prepare yourself for it (just trying to think positive).

So…don’t give up! Sometimes you may fall when you find a stone on your way, but you will get up, continue your way and the next time you find a similar stone you will know how to jump or to go around it! And these stones will help you when you find a huge mountain on your way, to be prepared to climb it!

Have a great afternoon pretty people!
