Preparing for Opportunities

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, goal setting, opportunities, optimism, preparation, stay on track
The snow is beautiful when it’s falling and still relatively undisturbed, isn’t it? When the light reflects off of the white powder, the world is brighter. If only we could leave the snow as it is when it covers everything…

Sleep Well

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals, Self-Care 0 comments tags: sleep, slowing down, stress management
Taking time to slow down is typically one of the built-in benefits of holidays, providing you don’t work in a profession that requires holiday coverage. I’m not always very good at slowing down. And when I don’t slow down and rest, sleep takes over whether I’m ready or not.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving week is here. 💕 Despite knowing our holiday celebration will be low-key this year, I’m excited about the upcoming four-day weekend with K and Scooter. There is the promise of cooking once and eating leftovers for days, sleeping in after watching holiday movies (with popcorn) late into the evening, and wrapping up some of the organizing projects that we’ve started.

Manage Your Expectations

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, being human, building confidence, challenge, fitness approach, goal setting, persistence, stay on track
What a windy weekend. And the rain, hail, and power outages, too. Wow! We didn’t lose our power; I hope that you didn’t either (or if you did, it has since been restored). Speaking of which, we expected to lose power.

Who Are You?

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, change, consistency, execution, fitness approach, goal setting, habits, identity, taking action, values
Can you hear it? (“Who, who? Who, who?”) It’s been years since I’ve seen a CSI episode, but I can hear the theme song in my mind right now (and will probably be humming the tune all day). So, who are you?

Community Strength

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: being human, community, connection, goal setting, support network
Today’s topic is community. I’ve had the word in my head for days, and it’s a topic I’ve put off in the past because to talk about community as I would have a year ago doesn’t match the state of our world right now.

Make Hard Things Easier

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: behavior change, change, consistency, execution, goal setting, habits, taking action
I’m fascinated by habit formation and behavior change, and I’ve just started reading Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg, PhD. Fogg makes a convincing case in the early part of the book (I’m not even 50 pages in) that behavior equals motivation plus ability plus a prompt, and that to focus on motivation alone as the reason why we have success or failure when working to create behavior change is missing part of the equation.

When It Rains

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, change, evaluate, movement
Have you ever had a day when you just didn’t feel like exercising? Maybe it was too cold or you were too tired, or you had a lot on your list and didn’t want to stop and switch gears to work out…

One Step at a Time

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: consistency, getting started, goal setting, habits, taking action, well-being
So…how do you eat a watermelon? One bite at a time, right? (Given the season, maybe we should be talking about apple pie? Hmmmm…) And how do you walk or run a 5K? Yes — one step at a time.

Regular Rest Is Key

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Self-Care 0 comments tags: adjustments, consistency, observable data points, rest, rest days, tracking your activities, well-being
As we begin October, I’m reminded of how my running habits typically change around this time each year. Though I typically run outside year-round, I reduce my weekly run frequency and average distance over the late fall and early winter months in most years. This year will be a little different, as I’m planning to run more consistently over the coming colder season.
