Get Off The Hamster Wheel

drstaceynaito Leave a comment

hamster-wheelThere isn’t a single person I have interacted with lately who has been able to enjoy a respite from the frenetic life pace which seems prevalent. Honestly, EVERYONE seems to be frazzled, running from place to place, trying to get massive amounts of work done in a limited amount of time. After a while, the days seem to blend into one another and we may feel like we are running in an endless circle, very much like a hamster on a wheel. I know that feeling well and always think that I can somehow catch up. Alas, I never do. Yet the next day I start up again, hoping to finally catch up on every project, all the while knowing that it won’t happen.

What may send ripples of anxiety through people is the concept of stepping off the hamster wheel on a regular basis. I can already hear people saying, “What??? Don’t you know how much stuff I have to get done today?” Let’s be honest: there will ALWAYS be something on the to-do list that we feel must be done. But when we allow ourselves to take a break from the constant movement, we can finally be present and cause our weary bodies, minds and spirits to reset. When this reset occurs, we can tackle projects and work with renewed vigor. And though some of us may not believe this, taking a break will not result in a collapse of all that we have worked on. The work will be there when we are ready to return to it.

You may be asking if I practice this regularly, and I have to admit that it doesn’t happen nearly as much as I would like. But at least now I realize that the coach won’t turn into a pumpkin if I take a little break from the fast paced life I lead, even if the break is longer than a few minutes. Getting off the wheel also opens you up to new ways of thinking and new possibilities so that you can reach goals more effectively. Physiologically, it gives your overtaxed adrenal glands, cardiovascular system and thyroid a rest too, not to mention your nervous system, gut, etc. So give yourself a break!

Finding Your Inner Goddess

drstaceynaito Leave a comment

It almost seems to be part of the female state these days to become wrapped up in the needs of others so completely that a woman’s needs and strengths are often neglected. Between having a full time job, children, a spouse or partner, and elderly parents to care for, there is little room for personal time. However, I am a firm believer in making time for oneself, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman. When a woman sets aside some time for herself every day, whether it is for a workout, manicure, massage, meditation, or a pleasant stroll alone, she recharges her spiritual batteries and finds her center. When this center is nurtured daily, it grows like a flower. The inner goddess is awakened, and because of this, a woman who does this is better able to cope with daily demands and is a better mother, partner, and daughter.

Women are natural multitaskers because we forced into that role, many times at a very early age. But the inner goddess is like the energy cell that serves as the main power source. I have seen women go through the motions with serving their loved ones, completely devoid of motivation, moving like automatons because that core energy cell is almost completely drained. Since we women are seen as nurturers, we should recognize the need to nurture OURSELVES.

I know that women have become keenly interested in competing in bodybuilding events in recent years because of this new awareness of the inner goddess. While I am not suggesting that every woman should elect to compete in a bodybuilding event in an effort to fortify the inner goddess, it’s not a bad idea for ladies who are considering such a journey. What these competitions do is shift the focus onto the woman, putting her in a position in which she MUST address her own needs. It is an interesting shift and I never tire of seeing the transformation which occurs as a result. It is almost like a lightbulb goes off in their heads and they suddenly realize how much they had neglected their own needs.

For women who have no desire to compete, I suggest taking up a hobby or class in something they have had a lot of interest in. The important element here is to set aside time for oneself on a regular basis and to recognize that it is NOT selfish to cultivate one’s own interests. You can still be superwoman and take care of your family, but take care of YOURSELF too.woman-hugging-herself
Once you learn how to connect with your inner goddess, you will wonder how you ever survived without that connection.

Work Out Like You Mean It!

I am already beginning to tire of the newcomers at the gym, because I see that the enthusiasm which brought them in during the holidays is already beginning to wane. Though I offer advice, encouragement, suggestions, and even refer them to the in-house trainers, it seems that my words are falling on deaf ears. There is NO WAY that a person has committed to a lifestyle change if unhealthy habits and a lack of motivation are already sabotaging New Year’s resolutions. Forget about the bodies that could use some toning or weight loss. What I see are attitudes that are flabby. Joining a gym at the beginning of a new year, while somewhat noble, isn’t going to work like a magic wand and bestow instant fitness to the new gym member.

Let’s break this down. Perhaps you are a new gym member and are interested in transforming your body and your lifestyle. The most important thing you need to do is to pursue these goals with INTENTION. If you join a gym with no plan of attack, it’s like trying to drive a race car when you haven’t even learned to drive yet. I firmly believe in the power of specificity, structure and accountability, because they provide a map or blueprint for you to follow. Here is a step by step guide to developing a successful fitness overhaul.Batman and Robin

1. Convince yourself that you WILL reach your fitness goals.
2. Print out images of people who have the kind of body you want and put them on your fridge or another prominent place you will see daily.
3. Give yourself a deadline.
4. Make your goals REASONABLE. Don’t put down, “I will lose 60 pounds in 30 days”, but pick a more reasonable goal, like losing 3 pounds per week.
5. Develop a workout schedule and stick to it.
6. If you don’t have a clue what to do while at the gym, hire a personal trainer.
7. Take progress pictures every week to monitor your progress.
8. Follow a specific meal plan to keep you on track.
9. If you have a setback, pick up where you left off. We are all human and have “off” days.
10. Don’t be intimidated by seasoned gym members. Most people are willing to help you if you have a question about how to operate machines.
11. Learn gym etiquette. The pace of a gym is rapid, especially during peak hours, so you need to be aware of concepts like “working in” (people will ask you if they can take turns with you on a machine or station). Don’t sit on benches unless you are actually exercising on them. Wipe down equipment if you sweat on it.

Now get off your computer and get serious about your goals!
