STORM PROOF













    1. Resilience: 1. the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.
    2.                         2. the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity
    3. Flux: the action or process of flowing or flowing out.

    5. The only constant in life is change”-Heraclitus. We constantly live in a state of flux.  

    Hi everyone! Today's question is how do we stay resilient while living in such uncertain times? Where change is the only certainty we have and we live in a state of flux? 
    I believe by living a life focused on our values we can flourish in these unpredictable times and come through this even stronger than before! Those that have trained with me for a long period of time have had the pleasure of planking on a stability ball. If I'm extra feisty that day, I would give a speech about how important it is in life is to have a strong core and foundation. Eventually the storms of life will be blowing hard crashing into us, and we will make it through the storm ONLY IF we have that strong core and foundation. I then proceed to kick the ball from many different angles. In the fitness world its extremely important to have a strong core to be fully functional and resilient from injuries. Same as life... Our core values is our true foundation that we build our house and the rest of our life upon. Like the famous parable if we build our house upon sand it will get washed up when the storms come upon us. We all have values that we hold onto and are truly important to us. Example of a few: honesty, integrity, discipline, accountability, diligence, perseverance, Love, authenticity, joyfulness, responsibility, loyalty and ect... We could add many important values to this list.
    Aristotle- “Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.”
    I want to add the value of honesty to my life. I then make a commitment to be honest no matter what. Overtime I will naturally develop the value of honesty.
    I have found during the time of uncertainty that I have gravitated toward core values. Its extremely easy to lose sight of what is truly important in our life. We get overrun by anxiety, stress, bad news, fears.. the list goes on. 
    John C. Maxwell- “When values, thoughts, feelings, and actions are in alignment, a person becomes focused and character is strengthened.” Lets stay focused on the things that are TRULY important to us. That will in turn make us extremely resilient to whatever 2020 has in store for us! Love you all!
