When we ask our friends and family members what it means to lead an active lifestyle, their responses range from maintaining a healthy fitness routine, eating sugar-free foods, ditching carbohydrates and opting for water instead of fizzy drinks. And while we wouldn’t necessarily disagree with their insights, having an active and productive lifestyle comes down to the little tasks we perform, consciously and unconsciously.
Before you think we’re crazy and disregard our suggestions, hear us out: We know there’s a time and place to crush an hour-long cardio session before the day starts. But when you learn to implement these tips and strategies into your lifestyle, you give yourself the best odds of becoming the person you’ve always dreamed you could be. If you’re ready to achieve your health and wellness goals without exhausting your mental faculties, here’s what you should know.
1. Make the Barrier to Entry Easy to Tackle
When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you do? For the general population, they’re hitting the snooze button on their phone, rolling over and snuggling up next to their pillow for a few extra minutes of slumber. While this cozy moment warms our hearts and makes us feel good, it causes us to fall short of our goals in the long run.
The most daunting problem individuals face when they try to create a productive fitness routine is making the barrier to entry too complicated or stressful. As an example, consider the following scenario: John wants to lose a few pounds and elevate his sense of pride by working out every day for a few minutes. That night, he goes to bed and sets his alarm for a 5:30 am workout session at his local gym.
The following morning, John hears his alarm ringing in his ear and groans in discomfort because he needs to grab his workout apparel and head to the gym before heading to work. Knowing that his workout clothes are still in his dryer under a pile of unfolded laundry, he turns the alarm off and gets another hour of much-needed rest.
In our example scenario, John faltered by having his workout clothes in the other room, away from his bedside. If he would’ve planned the night before and placed his essential items next to his nightstand, John would’ve faired far better in his goal of becoming a fit individual. Although this tactic might seem too simplistic to be effective, it works wonders for habit formation.
To understand the psychology behind this phenomenon, we must explore the depths of human behaviour when we’re at our most vulnerable. Upon waking each morning, our body is in a starved state, and making critical decisions becomes more challenging than it would after being awake for a few hours or eating a light snack.
We won’t bore you with the technical analysis of why your brain needs food to perform at its best, but know this: when you’re waking up early in the morning to crush a workout before the day gets started, make it as easy as possible for yourself. If you’re having trouble identifying your “sticking point,” here are some tips to get you started:
- Put your keys on your nightstand
- Make your workout clothes easily accessible
- Put your fitness accessories in a known location
- Plan your routine the night before
- Reward yourself for good behaviour
- Create a motivational playlist on your phone
With these tips in your arsenal, the world becomes your oyster. And if you’re feeling down, remember you can build good habits in a few months of consistent effort!
2. Focus on Improvement, Not Perfection
In our modern society, perfectionism has run amok. While perfectionists have good intentions and worthy ideals, their inability to let go of trivial setbacks prevents them from blossoming into their true selves.
To overcome the self-limiting nature of perfectionism, we need to understand how health and fitness work at their cores. We may think of fitness in terms of 90-day challenges and 2-week detoxes, but the only way to fulfil your goals is to adopt a growth mindset and willingness to learn new techniques to become an active individual.
In her book The Growth Mindset, Carol Dweck explores the difference between overachievers and individuals who can barely show up and do the tasks required in their given domain. Although her book briefly discusses the topic of inherent intelligence and biological factors involved in higher achievement, her findings reveal something remarkable: the difference between notable success and crippling failure is a small change in one’s mindset.
For growth-minded individuals, challenges, imperfections, setbacks and small failures aren’t reprehensible experiences but natural occurrences that inevitably come while learning new materials or changing one’s actions. Readers who’re tired of being plagued by perfectionism and negative self-talk should adopt a growth mindset to regain control of their waking hours.
If you’re struggling to maintain your new fitness and health routine, it means you’re on the right track! If you’re making noticeable changes in a positive direction, forgive yourself for the tiny mishaps along your journey. Alexis Carrel, a French surgeon and biologist, summed it up perfectly: “Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.”
3. Fuel Your Body With High-Quality Products and Supplementation
If you owned a multi-million-dollar hypercar, would you fill it up with cheap fuel? In the same light, putting low-quality foods, supplements and nutrition into your system wreaks havoc on your performance inside and outside of the gym. To be honest, have you struggled with these symptoms at some point in the past?
- Unwavering brain fog
- Distractibility and procrastination
- Low energy
- Unwanted weight gain
- Needing a midday nap more often than not
- Chronic sickness and infection
- Depression
- Stomach cramps and aches
- Trouble sleeping
- Dental issues
All of these symptoms have a direct link to the foods, drinks and supplements you use daily. For this reason, we suggest consuming nutrition that not only tastes good but fuels your lifestyle and keeps you feeling young with each passing year. But we’ll let you in on a little secret: not all supplement companies are created equal!
At IsaaXcess, our goal is to provide nutritional supplements that go above and beyond the promises on our labels. Sure, our products taste great and help you achieve your fitness goals, but we pride ourselves on our ability to create a culture that encourages people to succeed and strive for more.
From the senior citizen who wants to lead a life on their terms to the female CEO who needs to perform at her highest potential every day, IsaaXcess provides the solution to their problems.
With our Isagenix Energy Pak, we give athletes from around the globe the optimal nutrition they need to perform at their best and crush their competition. And if practitioners need to cleanse their system of toxins and buildup, we’ve designed a multi-day cleanse starter bundle that will leave their system feeling fresh, restored and ready to kickstart their fitness journey.
But don’t think we stopped there! The Isagenix teamed engineered an energy-boosting supplement that gets individuals started on the right foot each day. When they wake up, all they have to do is drink one of our world-renowned E+ shots, and they’re ready to conquer the world!
Whether you decide to join our extensive IsaaXcess family or not, our message is the same: success is simple when you have high-quality fuel pushing you further than before. When you make the switch from ordinary, over-the-counter products to elite-tier supplementation, you can feel and see the difference in a short period.
4. Play Uplifting and Enthralling Music
Do you often run around loaded with stress, anxiety and worry? Being an adult is by far one of the most demanding tasks on the planet, but we often overindulge ourselves in neurotic behaviours and preemptive actions.
We don’t blame you, though. Between juggling work-related responsibilities, staying active, eating nutritious foods and battling the kids before heading out into rush-hour traffic, you have little time left at the end of the day for yourself. Luckily for you, there’s a cure that most people are unfamiliar with: playing inspiring music!
A study published by Uma Gupta and B.S. Gupta found that patients who listened to music for a minimum of thirty minutes per day were more likely to have lower blood pressure, reduced heart rate, elevated moods and improved cognitive functions that allowed them to succeed in various domains.
In simple terms, listening to awe-inspiring music throughout your day will assist you in your dream of becoming healthy, both internally and externally. And as the old saying goes, you can never achieve true fulfilment unless you have a sound body and mind that work in unison with one another.
The next time you feel yourself slipping into a mild depression or worried state, turn up some good tunes and get your body moving. And if you’re feeling uninspired, head over to our growing IsaaXcess community and interact with people just like you! Before you know it, you’ll have an uplifting community that motivates you when you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
5. Get Outdoors and Explore Nature
Lastly, we encourage all individuals who want to become a healthier version of themselves to get out and about. Whether we realize it or not, mother nature’s ability to raise our self-esteem is unrivalled. While there’s discussion as to why this occurs, we believe it’s related to the vitamin D we receive from the sun’s powerful rays while basking in the glow of a warm day.
Unlike other supplements, vitamin D works with our body’s internal mechanisms to make us feel energetic and healthy with each passing day. Moreover, scientists and medical researchers have discovered pertinent data between vitamin D deficiency and severe symptoms associated with COVID-19. Although their studies are still ongoing and results are conflicting in some areas, getting regular dosages of vitamin D is essential for a well-lived life.
As a word of caution, never stay in the sun for longer than your body can withstand. For most individuals, spending five to ten minutes in direct sunlight is more than adequate to achieve optimal vitamin D levels. For others, this period may be too underwhelming and require extended sessions of direct contact with the sun’s rays. Before grabbing your to-go bag and heading outside, consult with our checklist first:
- Avoid burning sensations
- Wear a lotion with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or greater
- Maintain adequate hydration
- If you feel lightheaded or sick, go inside
- Avoid sun exposure during prime hours
Once your vitamin D levels begin to improve, you’ll feel like a new person in a short period. Problematic episodes like depression, uncontrolled emotions, anger and temper tantrums become a thing of the past with adequate sun exposure combined with engaging outdoor activities!
