4 Insights to Contemplate

by Erica McClurkin in Featured, Feelings, Self-Care 0 comments tags: anger, being human, boundaries, change, exploring emotions, frustration, imperfection, ownership, resilience, stress management, values
How are you doing? It’s been a heck of a week…talk about a roller coaster ride. Aside from continuing to vote and contacting my elected officials, I’m not sure I can do much to fix what’s happening in our country right now.

The Possibilities!

Happy 2021! 🥳 The world is full of possibilities — today and every day — and, if we’re lucky, we just might have a bit more energy and motivation to accomplish our goals at this time of year.

Are We There Yet?

by Erica McClurkin in Goals, Self-Care 0 comments tags: adaptability, change, execution, goal setting, interdependence, patience, resilience, taking action, well-being
Are we there yet? Years ago, this was the big question my brother and I would ask my parents as we were driving to Geauga Lake. The amusement park seemed so far away from our home on the west side of Cleveland and the journey so long.

Happy Thanksgiving!

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Self-Care 0 comments tags: change, clarity, gratitude, health, identity, movement, taking action, well-being
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.

Who Are You?

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?

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…

How to Change

Do you know what happens when you start acting like the person you wish to be? (This is not a trick question.)

Taking Your Health for Granted… Or?

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals, Self-Care 0 comments tags: change, decisions, empower yourself through action, fitness approach, habits, taking action
I’ve been thinking about how we as humans tend to take many things for granted, until a (sometimes shocking) change causes us to adjust our view. Maybe you are 87 and you can’t remember various facts anymore, so your kids take away your car keys to prevent you from getting lost on your way to the store. Maybe you are 46 and you injure your leg, so you have to use crutches and running is impossible until you heal. Maybe you are 19 and set to study abroad when a pandemic occurs, so you cannot travel without risking your safety or potentially losing your ability to travel back home.

Changing Seasons, Changing Routines

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 1 comments tags: adaptability, change, seasonal routines, well-being
Wow — September begins tomorrow, and the autumn weather that is sure to be coming will be here in a blink. I love this time of year for many reasons. As a runner, the shift from hot and sticky to cooler temperatures generally makes for faster running times with less effort. As a coach, races at this time of year typically provide an opportunity to celebrate the hard work done throughout the summer training season and create a natural transition into the slower winter training season.
