LIFT Your Mood

These past few weeks, I have been having so much going on in my life that I am figuring out how to manage wisely.

For a time, I quit my full-time job to figure out how to run the active lifestyle brand I’ve been building.

Once I figured that out, I jumped into a job as a personal trainer to fill in the downtime, get paid, and create content that will benefit both my clients and the people in my brand.

I work a lot as a result, but I love helping people on their health & fitness journeys.

However, my nutrition has been getting sloppy.

I’ve been eating like crap, which has impacted my health dramatically in a variety of ways — but I’ve noticed my own mental health and wellbeing get negatively impacted the past couple of weeks.

So in this post, we are going to go over 4 nutrition tips you can use to help with mental health.

As we continue our way into 2022, one thing that can set us back from reaching our goals are our habits.

Some of us have habits that help facilitate all aspects of our health: mental, physical, and even existential.

Other habits can forestall or neglect those aspects of our health.

So in this post, we are going to go over 7 bad habits that can affect your mental health this year.

Let's dive in!

Welcome to 2022.

A new year of possibilities and opportunities.

A new year of improving our mental health and wellbeing.

We all want to make some big changes in our lives and are completely excited about it... but sometimes, it's only a matter of time until some setback happens.

And some of us quit when it gets tough.

Do you ever wonder why some of our New Years Resolutions fail?

There are a few reasons.

In this post, we are going to cover 5 reasons why most people fail their New Years Resolutions.

Let's dive in!

For myself, when I was deep in my depression, I was a very agreeable kid who wanted to please everyone even at the expense of my wellbeing.

Because of this, no one really respected me, not even my own friend group. I was regularly bullied.

This put a lot of pressure on myself throughout middle school and high school and led to me emotionally eating as a way to comfort myself.

I got overweight, and that made it worse.

It led to me contemplating suicide. 

The single shift I made (that I didn't realize at the time) was exercise.

I worked on something a more "disagreeable" person would do: working on doing more things for myself.

There were so many fit and strong-looking people, and I was a young teenager who was overweight, I feared so many things about the environment.

That anxiousness is very common in the gym.

So how do we handle it?

In this post, we are going to go over 7 tips you can use to get into the gym and exercise with social anxiety.
