Hey what’s up y’all DFOSS here this year marks 10 years for me in the fitness and wellness industry. I’ve learned so much. I’m so grateful for everyone that’s helped me on this journey, everyone that has paid attention, someone who has trusted me with their own health and allowed me to guide them in the right direction. Hopefully I haven’t put anybody in the wrong direction because we are always learning, we are always challenging our current belief systems and trying to see if there’s a different way.
And you know now as someone who owns my own business, I am really excited to help people with nutrition coaching supplementation and being able to optimize bloodwork and genetics and day to day habits. movement wise, being able to make people move more efficiently, understand their bodies more and be able to work through you know, old injuries, maybe scar tissue, things that are impeding their mobility, flexibility and increasing pain.
We want to decrease those we want to improve our ability to understand why we’re in pain. We want to improve our ability to move efficiently and do the things we love to do and day to day life. And so what I’ve learned in these 10 years more than anything, the research continues to show. And anecdotally it’s something you cannot deny you have to sleep better and more. You have to eat real Whole Foods. You have to move your body and check in with your body and non stop constantly. Progress those things you have to have healthy relationships and maintain those to keep positive vibes around you. And you have to get outside. You have to ground yourself, you have to get around nature, you have to absorb vitamin D. Outside of those things.
There is nothing that’s going to improve your life and your ability to wake up and feel energized in the morning. Go to sleep, wake up and feel rested. More than those things once we get to a certain level. Of course, we can always find other things that push the needle just a little bit more. But those things are the major key points and I just want everyone to learn to focus on those things. And I always say if you have a pyramid the peak of your pyramid is when you’re at the peak of self improvement when you’re at the peak of spending time on yourself and self reflection. And movement and eating well.
The last few months of every year we’re all at that bottom base of the pyramid, right? We’re all focused on families and social events and all of these other things we usually fall down to a lower level of self care and checking in and if you maintain that base, that pyramid that baseline of your health is getting outside grounding vitamin D movement every day, eating real clean Whole Foods and not going off the deep end you know enjoy yourself at 20 and obviously checking in and enjoying those social events and not making those social events and times with the people you love. hectic and more anxious and tense because you don’t feel like your best self because you haven’t been doing those other things.
So always maintain that baseline at the bottom of the pyramid and build off of that and know which seasons of the year in which years of your life. You’re going to take a step back or a step down. And then when you can push the needle again, I’m at that point where Julian’s in daycare. Amy and I are getting settled. And I feel like now I can start to push that baseline again. Right, I can take that next step on the pyramid and make sure that I’m adding in those extra layers of wellness adding in those little things that helped me recover better adding in that ability to go for an extra run or do an extra workout. So with that all being said, I hope you guys continue to check in with yourselves. Improve yourselves, stabilize that baseline and then take steps towards improving yourself and improving what that baseline is to you. Right. As we know more we should do better, so much love. Live Limitless Peace!
