What if you commanded yourself in a positive way? “You CAN respond without reacting!” “You CAN find calm!” “You CAN choose nutritious food!” “You CAN move just a little more!” . Does it feel weird to talk to yourself as if to another person? Studies suggest this might be the best way to get your own psyche’s attention. Think like a supportive team captain😀... “You’ve got this!” “You can do this!” “C’mon, you!” . Are you trying it? It feels both weird and kind of awesome, yes? You become your own driver and best coach and cheerleader... 🤸‍♀️... Command yourself, and earn your own respect. 😊 . The better we get at using this approach in one aspect of our life, the easier it becomes to use it in others. I am definitely better at it in certain aspects of my life than others!! 😜 . . . PS. If you would find it helpful to be part of a health and fitness accountability and support group, one that encourages positivity, you’d be welcome in mine. DM me for more info. March openings happening now. 😊 . . .. . PPS. Tip In case you are religious: try adding this to your self-commands: “With God you can ________!” 🔥 (Or whatever you call your deity). . #motivation #selfmanagement #selfdevelopment #wordsmatter #selftalk #peptalk https://www.instagram.com/p/CL8hCs_gmMc/?igshid=y90rg2kq1ltt

What if, just for this week, you substituted the word “choose” for the word “try?”... . I choose to eat healthier. I choose to exercise. I choose to go to bed early enough to get enough sleep. I choose to do personal development. . Changing your words can change how your brain processes information, and can make you feel VERY self-empowered.... Choose to make this change this week, and tell me how you feel! 😀.. What types of things will you choose??? . #motivatemonday #motivation #masteryourmind #selfdevelopment #selfimprovement #fitness #fitlife #health #holistic #mindset #change (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B173urEgBY9/?igshid=1pnt53ct6bm3s

You do YOU!! ❤️. . Give yourself permission to NOT follow the leader. Look at the screen, see what they’re doing, and then look away into the mirror or inwardly at yourself and MIND YOUR OWN BODY.... . If you have injuries like I have injuries, you got to make your body last for the long-haul..., You know what’s contraindicated for you and if you don’t, ASK me, or ask your physical therapist, or your doctor. I can help you figure out a modification, because the LAST thing I want you to do is to stop moving because you’re scared. . What movement will you commit to today? You can make it happen! Tell me when you do!! 😍 . . #youdoyou #listentoyourbody #moveyourbody #nothingbutlove #bodypositive #healthymindset #workout #transform20 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BsoyOXGnBtv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=179qnsyof2u4j

It took me a long time to realize we are not meant to be perfect. We are meant to be whole.

This is beautiful. Body, mind, spirit, all cared for. <3

This move is called “resting students.” 😋. . Honestly, they tell me they feel renewed when they leave... 😉... . I just wanted to share this moment because the Pilates world is influenced too much by the idea of dancer’s perfection... we forget about the sweat and work of the soldiers, police officers, and boxers that Joseph Pilates worked with before the dancers stumbled into his studio.... . These folks in my class work hard, and I so, so love them for it... They earned this rest moment, for sure. 💕... I hope they motivate you to work hard this week to the best of YOUR ability, whatever that looks like... because on YOU, it looks BEAUTIFUL. ❤️. . . #motivateMonday #motivationmonday #bodypositive #youdoyou #dowhatyoucan #progressnotperfection #pilates #pilatesreformer #lovethework #everybody (at Pilates Northwest) https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BtM8xPZHqTJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11qhirxidpui0
