The Importance of Intention

Everyday and every time we train we set out with an intention whether we are aware of this or not.

Our intention sets the way from the outset, therefore becoming aware of our intention from the beginning is essential and this is and always can be just personal to you.

Make it something valuable that can make a difference to others or something simply just for you, most of all every day and every time you train, be aware of what it is you set out to do.

To your healthiest and best 🙏🌟💛

Having a Can-do Mind

Our focus and mindset affect much of our lives and in all aspects, having a can-do mind can make all the difference.

So what exactly is a can-do mind..

and how can we make sure we have this Mindset..?

To have a can do mind is to have a positive and open mindset for what is possible to do and to achieve.

The alternative is to live within limits, often set within a negative frame.

A negative framing allows for only seeing negative possibilities or outcomes and sometimes none at all, setting this as a limit and therefore restricting potential.

With a can-do mind things look very different, the world is seen as one full of potential and possibility and we are open to just going with it and seeing where it takes us.. sounds far more fun doesn’t it 🙂

This can be done by simply taking a step towards something, even when it feels unfamiliar or scary and not allowing others limited perceptions to restrict you either.

Always stay open to the possibilities, they exist in abundance and can all be within your reach. Take that first step and just see where it takes you. Most of all enjoy it 😊

Be free, have fun, life is play 🌞💕🍃🦋🌊🌸

Yin and Yang

Life is a flow of yin and yang

Sometimes we flow softly

Other times more forcefully,

Yet ultimately

It’s the interflow

The balance of both,

That allows you to be all you can be

Where two become one,

Three is the ultimate

The hard and the soft;

The flow in between

Joining together;

For ultimate being 💕🙏

~ M. L Adams

The way of the tao, the balance of yin and yang, allows you to find your way with balance and ease. Have a great week 🙏

Movement as Expression

One of the most fundamental benefits of a movement practice, is the ability for it to be an avenue for self expression.

Although our movement practices may be similar once we have our foundational movement patterns we can begin to express ourselves individually from the most deepest level.

So often when doing so, we can then also discover new movement patterns that we may not have done or even thought to have done previously.

This way of expression in movement can bring the most beautiful sense of freedom just as in any form of art. You can combine it with music and bring all your creativity and passion forward into it. If you haven’t already done so, give it a try. It’s a great way to play and experiment also.

Trust in your flow and express yourself freely 🙏💫

Staying on Purpose

We all start out with a purpose

Keep staying on purpose

Let all distractions fall away

Keep your focused gaze 🙏🌟

~ M. L Adams

A little motivation for today and everyday.

Today’s world can be full of distractions but ultimately we decide our point of focus.

Stay focused, stay on purpose 🙏💛💫

Listen to your body

When exercising regularly or even when not its important to learn to listen to our bodies.

Learning to know when your are training just enough and when you’ve gone too far and adapt your training accordingly.

Without doing this we can easily end up overtraining, when we become very enthusiastic or at the other extreme not doing enough and feeling fatigue from this.

Find your balance and always listen to your body, as this is constantly changing as we are on our journey.

The more you do this the easier it then becomes to pick up the signs of when you are going a little too far in over or under training.

Find your way, stay balanced & centred in your training 🙏

Coping with Stress

Coping with stress is something many of us have to manage on a daily basis, as we are thrown in to situations that can be challenging or difficult to cope with.

So what are some of the best ways of coping with stress.?

  1. Balance– having a good work/life balance is essential, make sure you get enough time for you.
  2. Exercise– stressful situations can create excess energy, which can then be discharged healthily and in a positive way through exercise. By doing this you are making these situations work to your benefit.
  3. Relaxation/Mediation– having a daily practice of relaxation and meditation can help you perform well under pressure, as having a calm mindstate that will come more naturally to you.

Explore other ways and options and find what way works best for you. Stress can work positively for us as well as negatively and it’s important to make it work for you. Following strategies that can make all the difference and ultimately put you in charge of the situation.

To your healthiest and best 🙏

Be Here

Never forget
It’s all here
Everything
Be here always
Simply watching
🙏

~ M. L Adams

Presence is so simple we often miss it. Always remember it’s importance, remember the gift of life is all in the presence. It is here that we see all and can be all we can be. Drop all else as unnecessary 🙏💕

To your presence,

Maintaining positive habits

During the winter months maintaining positive habits can be difficult, however all the more important.

Keeping fit and healthy during the winter will help you to stay mobile and maintain good health, where you may otherwise be more likely to get under the weather.

Sometimes the weather may seem off-putting, when you have to make your way to the gym for example. However remind yourself always of how important it is and how good you will feel afterwards. Stay positive and keep up with your positive habits.

The effort will always be worth it. 💫

3 ways to note progress

It’s important to recognise our progress in training and there are many ways to do this, the following are a few I recommend.

  1. Physical, have you increased your weight, your reps or speed where possible, these are all great progressions, take note 🙂
  2. Cognitive, has your focus and concentration improved, these are very possible outcomes as well as improved memory. Take note and track your improvements when you notice these too.
  3. Emotional, do you feel better in yourself, happier and more engaged socially. Take note of these as it’s a great outcome that can sometimes get overlooked.

Important also for us to recognise, is if any of these factors begin to reverse, this is something that can happen with overtaining so is helpful to be aware ofas early as possible.

When keeping our own progress notes we can keep on top of our training and ensure we stay at our best, something well worth doing.

Enjoy the process and progress 🙏💫
