The Possibilities!

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Featured, Goals 0 comments tags: 2021, change, goal setting, habits, new year, resolutions, taking action
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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

Training to Build Resilience

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: adaptability, execution, make a plan, outdoor training, resilience, running, stay on track, taking action
Do you ever have a day that doesn’t go quite as planned? Of course, right? (It’s a silly question, isn’t it?) Yet, despite knowing that things come up and life doesn’t always go according to plan, we sometimes have trouble accepting these unscheduled adjustments. Other times, we easily make the best of the situation and roll with the changes.

Avocados and Exercise

by Erica McClurkin in Exercise, Goals 0 comments tags: being human, getting started, goal setting, guacamole, making mistakes, recipes, taking action
Avocados are one of my favorite fruits. For the past few months, I have been making a lot of guacamole. Lately, I’ve been getting better and better at telling when my avocados are ripe. Despite making more guacamole in the past few months than I ever thought I would in such a short time, I still make mistakes and cut into one every so often when it’s not yet ripe. I’ve also missed the prime moment of ripeness and cut into many (many!) avocados that are starting to go bad or are not salvageable. At. All. (Yuck.)
