Consistency and Kindness are Superpowers!

Apr 10, 2016

I believe that consistency and kindness are superpowers! My career in the fitness industry has been full of incredible surprises I never dreamed of. As I wrap up a five year stretch at the Milwaukee Athletic Club, I’m quickly realizing the incredible power of consistency and kindness.

Let’s chat about consistency first. In the five years I’ve been at the MAC, I’ve grown a healthy (see what I did there?) client list, a group of TRX lovers, and built a following in a variety of classes. I won’t tell you it happened quickly or easily. I won’t tell you I’m the smartest on the team. What I will tell you is that first and foremost, I show up. If my energy is low, I show up. If my heart is broken, I show up. If my legs are stiff from running a marathon, I show up. If there’s a foot of snow on the ground, I get my shoveling workout in a 4AM and SHOW UP. If I’m crabby, I show up (makes for a great class). Up all night with anxiety? You guessed it, I show up. Now, I’m not condoning extreme measures (if I have the flu, I’m out. Family emergency? I am out. Car windows smashed? Out.) or saying I’m super woman. But in a world where there is insurmountable uncertainty and commitments are blown off more than they are kept, my challenge to YOU is to show up. I ask this of myself, my clients and my team of instructors. If I made a list of the consistent and the inconsistent people I work with, guess who has the most success, the greatest following and, truly, the most joy? You got it. The ones who show up. Consistently. If I’m asking for regular attendance from my class participants and clients, you better believe I will represent the same thing.

On to kindness! I’m a believer in treating people the way I wish to be treated. My guess is you are too! Wouldn’t it be rad if we smiled and talked to one another more?! If given the choice, would you want the next stranger in your path to keep their eyes locked on the phone or look you in the eye and acknowledge your existence? If you choose acknowledgement, let’s give our best effort today to being an example of this. Look up. Smile. Life isn’t as hard when you recognize the beautiful people around you. My best friends and family will tell you I am moody and have been since my teenage years. Thankfully, exercise and solid sleep dulls the sharpness of my moods, but I still feel it. On my darkest days as an instructor, my mantra is, “treat them all as you wish to be treated.” Have I failed at this? Most definitely. (Sorry Bill.) Did being a brat make me feel better? Nope. Will I work every day to do better? Yep. Because the best part about being kind is that it takes less energy than being a jerk! And I don’t know about you, but I could use that extra energy each and every day.

For simplicity, let’s keep three questions top of mind as we go about our day:

What am I asking of the people around me? Does it match what I ask of myself?

Would it make a difference in the world today if I showed up with kindness?

Have a super Sunday everyone!

xoxo,
Katie

    I wanted to put you that tiny remark to be able to say thanks a lot over again on the pleasant solutions you have provided in this case. It was really shockingly open-handed with you to grant publicly precisely what many of us might have offered for an ebook to get some dough for themselves, notably now that you might have tried it in case you desired. These smart ideas as well served to be the good way to fully grasp that other people online have the identical interest really like my personal own to learn more related to this matter. I am sure there are numerous more pleasant periods in the future for many who read your site.

    My husband and i ended up being contented Chris could carry out his basic research by way of the ideas he came across from your own blog. It’s not at all simplistic just to always be giving away guidelines many others could have been making money from. And now we consider we’ve got the blog owner to appreciate because of that. All the explanations you’ve made, the easy blog menu, the friendships you aid to create – it’s all astounding, and it’s aiding our son and our family consider that that concept is awesome, and that’s exceptionally essential.

    Thanks for the recommendations on credit repair on this amazing site. A few things i would tell people is always to give up the particular mentality they can buy today and shell out later. Like a society we all tend to try this for many issues. This includes getaways, furniture, and also items we wish. However, you should separate the wants out of the needs. While you’re working to raise your credit score make some sacrifices. For example it is possible to shop online to save cash or you can visit second hand retailers instead of pricey department stores regarding clothing.

    Thanks for your concepts. One thing we’ve noticed is banks along with financial institutions are aware of the spending practices of consumers while also understand that most of the people max out and about their real credit cards around the getaways. They properly take advantage of this specific fact and commence flooding your current inbox along with snail-mail box using hundreds of no-interest APR card offers just after the holiday season concludes. Knowing that should you be like 98% of American community, you’ll rush at the possible opportunity to consolidate card debt and shift balances for 0 apr interest rates credit cards. kjjjilo https://headachemedi.com – medication for severe headaches
