Excel “EmVee” - Body Positivity - WTF!?

Excel “EmVee” - Body Positivity - WTF!?

There needs to be clarity on what the whole body positivity is and I think we can do that. Here’s a little perspective on the whole idea from myself and my partner in crime Kathleen who is herself struggling with body image and making a healthy change. I’m proud of her for it.

Excel "Em-Vee" - Drive Time Thoughts: Is that the lifestyle for you?

Excel "Em-Vee" - Drive Time Thoughts: Is that the lifestyle for you?

I am always pondering different things about the way day to day things are done. Maybe you do too. Maybe it’s more like “How am I going to get all this done?” “Is that really the deadline?” Or maybe you think you have weeks to get something done and then “OMG I STILL HAVE ALL THIS TO DO YET!”

I remember what that is like. Shit, it be like that sometimes. I have learned there are some things that will make it more bearable. It takes discipline, dedication, but belief in yourself to make it happen though. Before criticizing I want you to know I know everyone’s situation is “different”. I know there are “circumstances” that make the situation “unique”. I want you to concentrate on the overall concept and then think to yourself, how can I become more productive? How can I apply these things to myself?

Maybe it’s setting out all outfits for your kids on Sunday that way all you have to do is grab and go every morning. I know that helped me tremendously, plus it kept the laundry moving from one spot to another too. Lol. Maybe it’s ACTUALLY packing your gym bag and placing it in front of the front door so you see it, have to move it, and then remember to take it. I know that helped me as well.

At the end of the day these little things that you can do specifically for you based on your situation are what is going to make or break your progressive lifestyle if that’s what you are looking for. It helps form routines, maintain them, and because its a system now the results can actually come. It’s time to become a progressive lifestyle liver through structure rather than a stagnant or unproductive lifestyle with chaos. Do it and gain #ExcelEmVee.

MV Experience: 006 - Leadership - Being Subvervient

I wanted to bring a different perspective and thought provoking view on this quality of leader. I think it’s important to always think of different ways to views things. It doesn’t just make you a more well rounded person but it keeps you mentally engaged. This can also allow you to relate better to those you lead and looking up to you for an example. Be subservient.

I wanted to address the two main reasons I didn't start on my fitness journey and yes its a journey. I can relate to having the self-conscious thoughts that go into how we view ourselves. This is what helped me. It all started with the realizations you'll hear in this episode. I hope that this touches you the same way it touched me.

How many times of you been told that we need to find our way which will motivate us to pursue anything? When asked the question “how do you find your why?” we always get generic answers and never really get shown how far down the rabbit hole we need to go. I wanted to share just a bit of light on that rabbit hole journey for myself. It led to me finding my why. I think you will all be able to better find your why after listening to this!

V’s Cast-Ep.3-It Doesnt Matter

So what\u2019s keeping you from hitting the gym and achieving your physical fitness goals? Is it self doubt? Is it worrying about what everyone else thinks? Is it you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing? I think the main thing is, you care more about what everyone else thinks! That hinders you from going and achieving the difference you wanna make for yourself. Have a listen!
