The IMPORTANCE of your MINDSET

"Your Mindset is your Superpower in your Weight Loss Journey" - this is what I discovered in the last weeks with my 2017 respawn in my fitness journey.

As I plan out my life more and more, I get to a whole new level of control in my life that I never expected. I'm still working on the Nerd Fitness Academy goal and mental health is a huge topic there and everything starts in building the right mindset and daily habits for an "antifragile" lifestyle, as Steve Kamb, the founder of Nerdfitness.com calls it.

For my mental health I'll work at a small meditation challenge for the next 2 weeks.

Thank you so much for watching!
Yours, Elanor

Finding my BIG WHY - Nerdfitness Academy Respawn

With beginning of march 2017 I'm respawning my fitness journey in the Nerdfitness Academy - taking time to go through everything again - looking for what I missed and where I didn't pay attention in the first time.

3 years ago, around this time of the year, I started my fitness journey and started to get seriuos about it! I want to write down what my motivation is today ... so many things have changed ...

• I want to be able to do and enjoy the things I LOVE: horseriding, biking, dancing, hiking, running ... I miss all of this so much
• I want to live and do what I can to preserve my body and not die because I neglected it. I love life so much.
• I want to look and feel good and not always stress because of fear of being judged as lazy and unhealthy - because that'S not true!
• I want to celebrate life and also show others that the world is a beautiful place and everything is possible.
• I want to be able to have children and be there for them, give them a home and see them grow up. The same for my husband and my horses.

Wow, it was tougher writing this down than I expected. 

I need some emotional break right now ...

I think this is some common topic in today's generation: feeling the urge to optimize your habits and at the same time staying healthy not only physically but also mentally.

After having a heavy emotional feeling throughout the last weeks, not getting out the negativity, I realized today, that I really need to take time also for my comfort zone. Everybody is talking about getting out of it, but you know, it's there where we take our energy from.

Of course, building up our discipline is really worth it, but if we start to forget where we came from, what relaxation is and notice, that our mind is constantly wrapped around the thing to do next, negativity easily creeps in.

So, I will look out for the things I really enjoy - that are not only there to make myself get rest because I feel so exhausted, like watching TV or playing League of Legends.

I love to sing, I really do - I love to be with my horses - I love to draw - I like to talk about philosophy - I like to read dramatic books ...

I guess there's a lot more and it's my new quest, to find out, what really makes my heart jump about in joy.
