As we all recover from an overdose of family, food, and drinks, we tend to be hard on ourselves on the actions that took place around the Thanksgiving table. We think back to the semi-painful conversations we had with in-laws, the extra piece of pie we put on our dessert plate, or the fact that we didn't “exercise it all off” the next day. Sure we are thankful to gather with our family and friends. But how can we really be thankful when the negative self-talk consumes most of our thoughts?

2020 is readily approaching and thoughts of new goals and resolutions are beginning to cloud our minds. As humans, we have a limited view of how we want to complete these goals. 1. As fast as possible, and 2. By ourselves with absolutely no help from anyone. Sounds appealing, but this is completely unrealistic.
As I sit here eagerly waiting to cheer on my oldest son at yet another sporting event, my mind begins to race. I have been up since 5am. Today I have prepped breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my kids and myself, took the kids to school, trained multiple clients, taught two group exercise classes, and drove to my son’s school just in time to see him play. “What must I do next?”, I ask myself, knowing that I have about 5 more things lined up for the rest of the day. Yet, as my son begins to show up on the field, my mind stops. I realize one thing. My kids are my top priority. They’ve been my world for the past 16 years, and as they get older, my moments with them become more and more precious.
