Re-Thinking Sleep

8/24/2019

0 Comments

 
A couple of days ago I heard something interesting on a podcast.  It's related to sleep and the fated F.O.M.O. (fear of missing out).  There are numerous reasons why people have trouble falling asleep at night.  Personally, when I am experiencing trouble it is most likely because I think of all the tasks I still have to do or COULD be doing, instead of winding down.  I say "could" instead of "should" because if I'm honest, the tasks I did not complete have never negatively effected my business.

So what's a woman to do?  Instead of thinking of sleep as the end of a day, view it as preparation for the next day.  Sleep is your first "task", albeit the most enjoyable one by far, and it kicks off all other tasks.  So it also makes it my most important task of my day.  

​Sleep is not the ending.  It is my beginning. <3

Once In A While

Every once in a while I question every thing I do.  Do I work hard enough?  Is my research on lifting, programming, and jiu jitsu up to date?  Am I practicing different cues and different ways to coach to reach a broader group of people?  The other day a coach/professor/doctor I admire made this same post.  He was amazed that people loved and read his work.  The praise people gave him made him feel on cloud nine, and that is where it hit him.  This was a moment where he could stick to what he knows and what he teaches and keep it going because it gets him all this admiration.  Or, now is the time to do better and question everything he does to make sure it truly is sound research and advice.

My clients and members have allowed me the grace of growing and adapting as a coach and business owner.  This is a loyalty and a mutual respect that cannot be bought.  I hope that I continue to question myself, inspire my coaches to question themselves, and develop a team where every member knows they are cared for and safe.  FitPOWER is where everyone should be allowed an opportunity to question and grow.

You Do You

During my daily scroll and troll of the old book of faces I came across a shared article about those suffering from anxiety and not appreciating being told to "chill".  This person who shared the article is well known in the jiu jitsu community, and in their words they "respectfully disagreed".  Nothing wrong with a respectful disagreement.  Then this person decided to give advice on how to stop anxiety and preach your ability to control anxiety through a variety of outlets.  This is where I respectfully disagree.

​
I am not saying that varying degrees of anxiety (General, OCD, PTSD, Social, and Panic) can not have symptoms eased by a better mind and body connection, exercise, or through a better diet.  But you cannot paint with a broad stroke.  I am saying this from someone who once painted with a broad stroke and got called out on it.  

Picture
​Now this person may have had some wonderful information to give to us, the reader.  I wasn't there to hear it, though.  You see, I have clients who I do not tell to "chill".  Anxiety, depression, being bipolar, etc.  These are lenses in which people see the world.  This is the world they are used to experiencing.

So. I humbly suggest that you view the world through different lenses.  Your experience is not their experience.  Guide.  Do not drag.  Let them be the hero in their own story.

Worthy

Some items are measurable.  The cost of rent.  Supplies. Equipment. These are things someone has already applied a number to.  But your time is something you will never get back.  What is it worth to you?

​To be worthy means you have specialized characteristics or skills that deserve merit, or in the case of business, payment.  
The topic of worth applies to all individuals, but I seem to run into this conflict most often with women business owners.  Here is just two cents of advice: you must deem yourself worthy to ask for what you are worth.
