What Do You Want? And How Do You Get It? By Colleen Flaherty

No Limitations

What Do You Want? And How Do You Get It?

By Colleen Flaherty of BirthingWarrior.com

Let’s break this quote down.

Limitations (mental/physical) are habits of perception (what you think is happening/the story you tell yourself/your beliefs), waiting to be busted (dissolved/broken down/forgotten/reformulated).

Keep this in mind for later. Because I’d like to start with what you want.

What do you want?

This applies to all areas of life. Let’s start with your physical goals.

What do you want your body to do for you?
What do you want it to look like?
How do you want to feel in your body?
Where will you go in your body?

Answer these 4 questions while TRULY ENVISIONING your answers.

Here are mine:

  • I want my body to keep me healthy, strong, patient, and inspired.
  • I want my body to be a lean, mean, ass-kicking machine.
  • I want to feel like I could conquer the world 100 times over. Confident, sassy, and unique.

With this body, I will change lives, travel the globe, see inspiring sights and meet new empowering people.
While I wrote these things out, I smiled, laughed, saw myself working out, playing beach volleyball, soccer, rock climbing, and happy. My whole body is energized with the thought of WHAT IS COMING in the future.

Hear me. What you envision for yourself will happen if you let what you truly want dictate the choices you make.

I want my body to be healthy, strong, patient, and inspired. Because of those qualities, I will consciously AND sub-consciously say yes and no to things that are in line with them.
Ass-kicker? That means I’m moving my body in ways that I find enjoyable and fun.
World conquered means choosing events, people, things that make me feel confident, sassy, and one of kind.

Do you see what I’m getting at? When you set your sights on what you want, feeling how it feels to ALREADY BE THERE, your choices between now and then, will be in the flow to GET YOU THERE.

Now its your turn. Answer the 4 questions above. Write them down. Stick them next to the bathroom mirror. Tell your partner, your friends, your family what you’re envisioning for yourself (because they’ll help you get there! They’ll also hold you accountable!). Plus, once you put it out into the universe/god/goddesses, the doors will start opening for you to feel like your true, authentic, desired self.

Going back to the quote above. Whatever you tell yourself, is your reality. Your limitations of your body are backed by the stories you tell yourself about your body. “My body will never be skinny.” Nope, you’re right. With that story, it won’t. Not only are you telling your entire being, down to your cells, what it will be (not skinny), your choices of “never being skinny” will play out in day to day life. Maybe it’s over-eating. Maybe it’s making excuses. Maybe it’s indulgence. Your habits of perception are ruling your life. Want to change your body, change what you think about it and what you want it to become.

Dedicated to Your Happiness,

Colleen

Indoor Rock Climbing: A Fun, Healthy and Safe Form of Exercise

The key to developing any kind of consistency with exercise is to find a gym, routine, class or sport that you actually enjoy doing. Do you like competition? Join a local kickball league. Are you the type of person who makes friends easily? Try a group fitness class at a fitness studio nearby. Do you enjoy being outdoors? There’s always hiking.

Indoor Rock Climbing

Why Is Indoor Rock Climbing Is So Great!

Among the endless options for exercise is the relatively new and fast growing sport of indoor rock climbing. Although the image most of us picture when we hear ‘Rock Climbing” is one of being stuck on the edge of a cliff, in a dangerous situation, somewhere in the snow covered mountains. The fact is that indoor climbing gyms are much more like kid’s gymnastics centers than anything else. Read on to find out how indoor rock climbing can be a great way to exercise.

Low impact:
Rock climbing can be as easy or as challenging as you want it to be. There are a wide range of difficulties at most indoor rock gyms that can go from routes resembling a “staircase” to ones that seem to require 100 “one-arm pull-ups”. The good news is that climbing is usually a smooth, non-impactful workout. It’s easy to avoid common stresses on the back and knees that you might experience while weightlifting or doing martial arts. In the US, climbing routes are usually rated from 5.0 to 5.15. Start closer to the 5.0 and if you get hooked you’ll be able to work your way up in no time (no pun intended).

Camaraderie and sense of accomplishment:
Although there are many benefits to both team sports and individual sports, rock climbing is the best of both worlds. Climbing usually requires having a partner to belay you, which means to anchor you or lower you down from the other end of your safety rope. However, support and advice will usually come from other climbers nearby as they cheer you on. Even though climbing only involves you and your partner directly, rock gyms are a great place to develop new friendships and share common bonds with others.

Full Body Strength:
It may seem like climbing relies solely on the upper body but it is, in fact, a full body workout. Wearing special rock climbing shoes helps you to actually ‘hook’ or grab on to a climbing hold with your foot. Your back and core muscles do their job too by keep your body balanced. Let’s not forget about the workout your calves are getting when you’re standing on your tippy toes. Breath and focus are a big part of climbing as well, just like in yoga class. And if you ever feel like you’re ready to try outdoor climbing, the added benefits of being in nature take the Mind/Body experience to a whole new level.

Don’t be afraid to try something new in your fitness routine. The good news is that every sport has its benefits. When you find the one you like, enjoy it for what it is and be sure to recognize all of the positive aspects, like new friends, new challenges and new accomplishments.

Row Exercise With The MostFit™ Resistance Tube

 

Row Exercise With The MostFit™ Resistance Tube

Check out this row exercise with The MostFit™ Resistance Tube. The row exercise is one of my favorite postural exercises that I give to most of my patients that suffer from neck, back, or shoulder pain.  Computer posture - that crappy posture people have who regularly spend more than a few hours in front of the computer - puts our scapulae in a protracted position.  In this position, our rhomboids and mid traps are lengthened, and have a hard time firing optimally.  A stronger mid-back helps give you the ability to spend hours in front of the computer with better posture.  Combine rows with “W’s” for more postural muscle strength and endurance training.

Standing Chest Press WIth MostFit™ Resistance Tube

 

Standing Chest Press WIth MostFit™ Resistance Tube

Easy & Efficient Resistance Training Exercises For The Upper Body

This is an awesome exercise with the MostFit™ Resistance Tube that can be scaled up or down for anyone who wants to work on their upper body pushing strength, while getting a little core work in at the same time.  Efficient!

The prime movers in this exercise are your pectorals major and minor, triceps, and anterior deltoids. Because you are performing this exercise standing, your spinal stabilizers/core will also be working at the same time. The core challenge can be toned down by staggering your feet in a mini-lunge, or can be intensified by performing this exercise on one foot. You can even throw some balance discs under the feet (or foot) if you really want to get fancy.
