Human beings love stories. Let's talk about stories – the stories you tell yourself every day with you as the lead character. See, from the earliest cave paintings to Netflix, we humans have always craved stories -- following characters as they overcome challenges to fulfill their dreams. And guess what? You're the protagonist of your own story! We’re all crafting stories about ourselves all the time. But here's where we often miss the mark – we mistake fleeting thoughts for

There might not be a “secret” to getting everything you want. But there is a first step that is absolutely necessary for anyone who’s not relying on guessing the lottery numbers. The path to gaining everything you want starts with making a powerful decision – and then backing it up with aligned actions every single day. You see, we believe that what holds you back is mostly about one thing: A lack of clarity. It’s not a lack of ability or talent or heart or character. But unt

Remember the summers of childhood? Lots of fun in the sun, playing outside, watching TV late into the night… What about the food that went along with the fun? Plenty of sodas, right…? And sugary popsicles and slushies on bike rides to the convenience store… and ice cream in front of the TV… Let’s face it. Childhood summers might have been dreamy, but the junk food we loved? Total nightmare! But now, as adults and in a more health-conscious era, it’s easy to find healthy alter

Summer is such a great time for inspiration. You don’t have to look far to find motivation everywhere. The sun makes you feel good… the vibe is relaxed… and we’re more encouraged to exercise and eat right because we typically wear less clothing, right? We have our eyes opened by travel. We reconnect with distant family and friends. We relax into the longer days and evenings. Don’t you wish you could bottle the motivation for the rest of the year? Well, you can, with the right

We all have a sense of identity of who we are. For instance, you might be an American. You might also be a parent. You could be a spouse, too. You could be a writer. Some parts of our identity are given to us and fixed, but others we choose on our own – often without realizing we’re making a choice. So, let’s think about the choices we make that affect our identity. What are those choices based on? We believe they’re based on what we want and how we limit our chances of suc

Summertime is fun time, right? You bet! You want to enjoy the weather and the freedom, but you also want to stay on track with your healthy habits. And that can be hard when your schedule is disrupted, and different pressures are weighing on you from family, friends and work. The #1 thing is to keep it top of mind. Remind yourself throughout each day that your health is important, that the effort is worth it, and that YOU are worth it, too! We want you to have all the summer

Have you ever felt like a phony? Like you weren’t “walking your talk”? We're talking about a time when your ACTIONS did not line up with your stated VALUES. We’ll give you an example. Some people say reading is important to them. But they can’t tell you the last book they read. If they actually valued reading, they’d say, “I read the new Stephen King last week.” It’s not simply a matter of being inauthentic or disingenuous. It’s called cognitive dissonance – When your action

Coach Heather Binns' here...And not just our national independence from England. Instead, be sure to celebrate your own personal independence today. It’s my favorite part of the holiday. Creating independence is inspiring when I apply it to my own life. I’m not a history professor, but we all remember that the colonies stood up to a bad situation and deliberately forged a new, brighter path – right? They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they had their goals, reasons, and will. W

Coach Heather Binns' here... There’s nothing better than receiving positive feedback and appreciation for educating, empowering and motivating others to live a happy, healthy and irresistible lifestyle! Last month I traveled to San Diego for Disability Rights California's first all-staff event in five years! I had the pleasure of leading three workshops on Movement in the Workplace, Creating a Vision Board & How to Set Goals That Stick, and Living a Healthy Lifestyle & Eating

We want to tell you about two sisters we know. They share many things in common – DNA, childhood experiences, basic values, etc. But they couldn’t be more different when it comes to fitness. One is a super-fit competitive athlete. The other smokes are overweight and spend a lot of time on the couch. Seriously! And we're trying not to judge here, but bear with us. Here’s the point... Here’s the difference between them. It’s how they relate to their own fitness to their familie

Growth and movement are good things, right? You bet! They’re even totally NATURAL. In fact, they’re absolutely essential elements of life. So, it’s only natural that we are compelled to seek personal growth as we move forward in our journeys. We’re as much a part of nature as anything else, right? Well, that’s true for those of us who have a growth mindset, at least. We’d say that covers roughly half the people we know – including people like you, who are seeking paths to i

Have you ever been sick with the flu and found yourself feeling mopey and sad, maybe even sobbing? Sure – we’ve all been physically sick enough to suffer emotionally as well. But we’re not always as quick to understand that the phenomenon works both ways. Sometimes we can feel so bad emotionally that it causes physical pain, too. The mind-body connection is real. It is powerful. And it can knock you down, literally, if you’re not in tune with what you’re feeling. The experien

It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by what’s happening in the world and your life, by all the people you encounter, and by all the stuff happening around you. You can really lose yourself sometimes. But a strong self-awareness keeps you grounded with a healthy perspective. It keeps you in the right mindset to succeed and maintain happiness. In fact, some experts say it’s one of the most important characteristics we can develop. Sounds great, you might say. But what’s this all-i

All around us in June are signs of nature growing. So, how can you take this powerful cue and create growth in your own life? Look inward. In what aspects of your life do you want to grow the most? Why is this important to you? How do you anticipate this growth changing your life? Look outward. What challenges can you anticipate? Whose support will be available? How will conditions shape your Plan A – and, just as importantly, your Plan B? Nourish yourself. This means prac

Do you ever start the week feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to do in the days ahead? Do you sometimes get a jump on the worrying and start in on Sunday nights? Between work and family commitments, how are you going to remember to exercise, at right, take time for yourself...? That’s the worst. Been there, done that. But we're big believers in making lists to stay organized. And we noticed a big pressure relief when we started using a weekly checklist for our healthy
