174. Gym Etiquette!
Good gym etiquette encourages a positive community atmosphere.
Respecting personal space shows consideration for others and creates a more enjoyable experience and can even motivate members to stick with their fitness routines.
A well-mannered gym environment benefits all of us and makes it more enjoyable to complete our workouts!

173. Warming Up Before Strength Training!
When it comes to strength training, what you do before and after a workout are just as important as the workout itself.
Warming up prepares the body for physical demands ahead, helping you reduce the risk of injury.
By gradually increasing your heart rate and circulation, you deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.
It also enhances flexibility, and improves joint mobility, allowing for safer movement during strength exercises.

172. Are We Getting Enough Protein?
NortonHealthcare.com says “Be sure your diet includes plenty of protein, which promotes muscle growth and repair after workouts”.
If you’re trying to retain or gain muscle, theres an online protein calculator based on your age, activity level, height and weight at https://www.calculator.net/protein-calculator.html where you can get an idea of the range you need to be in.

171. Takeaways from the Movie Wicked!
Wicked was packed with humor, magic, and powerful life lessons.

170. How to Choose the Right Gym!

169. How to Choose a Fitness Trainer!
Hiring the right trainer is a big investment, and in order to find someone who aligns with your needs, preparation is key.
Finding a trainer who lives the lifestyle they promote is invaluable, and like me…if your biggest goal is to build muscle, look for someone who has the physique AND knowledge to guide you there. Of course, expertise should extend beyond appearances.
They also need the knowledge to design safe routines, that align with our aspirations.

168. Benefits of Resistance Training and Beyond!
As you may know, strength training is one of the most effective ways to build and maintain muscle, because it involves progressive overload along with resistance.
You can do achieve this by lifting weights, using machines, or engaging in bodyweight exercises, which lead to muscle hypertrophy.
Incorporating strength training into your routine is essential, which raises the question, “are there other ways to build muscle”? The answer is yes!

167. Build Muscle Through Strength Training!
If you’re new to strength training, the idea of lifting weights or using gym machines may seem intimidating, but can be the best decision you make for long-term health.
Building muscle can boost your metabolism, improve strength, and protect the body as you age.
You can read more about this at https://focusyourtime.com/muscle.

166. Is Muscle the Key to Longevity?
Paying attention to muscle mass is important because it slows age-related loss, boosts metabolism, and strengthens bones, reducing the risk of fractures.
Muscle supports joint health, and lowers the chance of falls. It also speeds recovery from illness and injury, improves blood sugar control, supports heart health and contributes to a longer lifespan with fewer health complications and once again, it’s never too late to start building muscle mass!
If you’re trying to retain or gain muscle, theres an online protein calculator based on your age, activity level, height and weight: https://www.calculator.net/protein-calculator.html.

165. Comfort Kit and Manifesting Best-Case Scenarios!
If you're like me, you're not a big fan of going to medical and dental appointments for fear of pain or discomfort. Today I'm talking about what to bring to the appointment to create calm and comfort as well as manifesting an excellent outcome.

164. Need to Rebalance your Central Nervous System?
Poor diet, lack of exercise, toxins, alcohol, trauma, or even other peoples energy can negatively affect our nervous system.
Constantly worrying about things beyond our control, striving to meet expectations, being in unhealthy relationships, living in a toxic environment, or engaging in people-pleasing behaviors can take a toll and overwhelm your nervous system.
Left unchecked, a dysregulated nervous system can make it harder for your body to function optimally!

163. Benefits of Earthing and Grounding!
Earthing happens outdoors, and physically connecting with nature by being barefoot on the ground, in dirt, sand, or water. You can also experience earthing by touching a tree.
The indoor version of earthing is being barefooted on a grounding mat, which mimics earthing outside.

162. Busy vs Productive!
if we’re always busy, does that mean we’re productive?
Not necessarily!
Actually, there is a difference.
Being productive means achieving goals efficiently, and being busy involves filling time with tasks that may not contribute to desired outcomes.
It also means being more intentional with your time.
More here: https://focusyourtime.com/busy
#focusyourtime #beproductive #toobusy #livewithintention
161. No Time to Connect!
Maybe someone you really want to connect with frequently cancels or reschedules plans at the last minute.
Or...maybe they take a long time to respond to messages, or don’t respond at all.
Perhaps they never check up on you, or initiate contact.
Does this sound familiar?
Today's episode covers this very subject.

160. Having Trouble Sleeping?

159. Other People's Advice / Opinions!
Being human, we seek approval from one another sometimes, thinking someone else knows what’s best for us, and when you ask or even don’t ask for opinions or advice, people will tell you what they think.
More here: https://focusyourtime.com/opinions.
#focusyourtime #opinions #adviceoftheday #approval
158. Pausing Before Responding!
When someone you know asks you to go somewhere, spend time with them, or help with a task, do you respond immediately?
Pausing before committing to something, allows time for you to consider other options, weigh pros and cons, and reflect on your decision.

156. Structured Spontaneity!

We can still adhere to our normal daily routines, while creating space for unexpected plans.

155. Achieve More by Tapping Into Existing Habits!
So, what comes to mind when you hear the word "habit"? Does the thought of starting a habit feel overwhelming or sound time consuming?
Well, actually habits are shortcuts for our brains and created to make repetitive tasks easier, and free up mental resources for more critical tasks.

154. Questions to Ask your Dog Groomer!
Do you get your dog groomed professionally by a groomer or do you do it at home? Dog grooming usually includes brushing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and bathing them regularly. It also helps prevent mats, control shedding, and detect health issues. The Dog Stop says “Not only does getting your dog groomed make them look and smell amazing, but it can also help with their overall wellbeing and health”. Like dog boarding, there are questions you’ll need to ask a new groomer before scheduling an appointment.

137. Social Comparison!
Social comparison sometimes can be positive, and inspire us to enhance our skills and capabilities, set higher standards for ourselves, and emulate positive habits.
“Social comparison can motivate people to improve, but it can also promote judgmental, biased, and overly competitive or superior attitudes” according to Psychology Today.
It can also set unrealistic standards, especially on social media, because we often only present the best versions of our lives.
Constant exposure to images and accomplishments can distort one's sense of reality, and lead to feelings of jealousy or unworthiness.
Social comparison can breed unhealthy levels of competition and instead of fostering cooperation, it may encourage individuals to prioritize their own success at the expense of others.

135. Pet Grief and Loss!
This episode was recorded on March 18th, right after losing our beautiful almost 17 year old dog.
Losing a pet is one of the hardest and worst things we can go through. My husband and I are still grieving and I thought I'd share my thoughts and feelings, and what things have helped us.

134. Compatibility in Relationships!
It’s important to consider when you're compatible and when you’re not.
You know you’re compatible when connections feel effortless, where conversations flow naturally, and time flies when you're together.
However, if you feel unenthusiastic prior to your meetup, and find yourself scrutinizing conversation topics and exit plans, that speaks volumes and may suggest a lack of natural compatibility in the relationship.
Without compatibility, relationships may struggle.

133. Are You a Control Freak?
When we try to dictate how someone else should behave, we undermine their individuality, which can create resentment.
Control freaks many times use the words “should” or “shouldn’t” and have unrealistic expectations, believing that they can shape someone else's actions or beliefs according to their own preferences.
Having an awareness and truly understanding that each person is entitled to their own choices and perspectives, creates healthier connections.

132. Instant vs Delayed Gratification!
Instant Gratification is the immediate satisfaction we feel when fulfilling desires, while delayed gratification involves sacrificing short-term rewards for greater long-term benefits. There’s instant gratification that works to provide goal oriented satisfaction. These positive actions serve as stepping stones that align with our ultimate outcomes.
