Staying Positive Doesnt Mean Ignoring Whats Not Going The Way You Want It To. It IS Being Grateful For

Staying positive doesn’t mean ignoring what’s not going the way you want it to. It IS being grateful for what you can be in the moment, and looking ahead to when things will improve... That can mean super short challenges like, “Oh, my butt is killing me in this workout! I can only do half the reps! BUT, I’m doing more than yesterday and know if I stay consistent I’ll eventually do all the reps!!” ... It can be longer term let-downs, “Wah! So bummed that [event beyond my control] means that I’ll have to miss [event I’ve been looking forward to]... So sad! I will have to find other ways to [mark the occasion/train for the future/find alternative activities]. Then I’ll still have something to look forward to.”... . So it’s okay to see a problem or a challenge. What makes you resilient and the challenge less of a take-down is where you put your focus. Put your focus forward! 😍. .

You do YOU!! ❤️. . Give yourself permission to NOT follow the leader. Look at the screen, see what they’re doing, and then look away into the mirror or inwardly at yourself and MIND YOUR OWN BODY.... . If you have injuries like I have injuries, you got to make your body last for the long-haul..., You know what’s contraindicated for you and if you don’t, ASK me, or ask your physical therapist, or your doctor. I can help you figure out a modification, because the LAST thing I want you to do is to stop moving because you’re scared. . What movement will you commit to today? You can make it happen! Tell me when you do!! 😍 . . #youdoyou #listentoyourbody #moveyourbody #nothingbutlove #bodypositive #healthymindset #workout #transform20 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BsoyOXGnBtv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=179qnsyof2u4j

Scary and awesome: there is a lot we have control of! 😃. . Our attitudes, our efforts, our reactions... . For this #motivateMonday think of one - just one! - way you can reset your mental sails and make some progress where you might’ve been stuck. 🥰. Drop me an emoji when you figure out what it will be! . And, whoo-ee, my hair sure gets frizzy after a workout! 😜. . #conqueryourmind #workout #morethanaworkout #youhavethepower https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BtwN76oHiBH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=148uy6bb1w0vt

Can you help me out with a love tap for my friend and client @labarich ? 😍... Help me celebrate how beautiful and strong she is! 💕 ... ... Here she’s working on keeping glutes, abs, and obliques ON as she opens her shoulders and finds a little spinal extension... ... Don’t be fooled by her grace! That bar she’s holding? It’s NOT static - it’s hung on springs so she has to use her strength to keep from falling down to the mat... AND, she’s doing it with a big smile, to boot! 😃. . Tag someone YOU appreciate who does their work with dedication and a beautiful good-natured smile! 😘. .. .. #strongsaturday #strength #pilates #Cadillac #cadillacpilates #balance #beautiful #movement (at Pilates Northwest) https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BtG6rEzHels/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4izkqgv8juaw
