If you've read any of my blog posts over the last couple weeks you've probably gleaned that I love New Years and the fresh start & blank slate that it brings. I think something about the energy of a New Year can be so inspiring and refocusing. One thing I've seen a lot of this year, however, is almost a push telling people not to set goals, or not to feel pressured to do so. Some things I've read have almost villianized it...as if wanting to become a better version of yourself, no matter how small the improvement, isn't a worthy effort. So today I just want to talk through my personal mindset for the New Year when it comes to setting goals and silencing doubt...and hopefully you will find it helpful if you've felt the same way!Read More
My January Challenge Goals
Happy New Year's Eve! The Besst Workouts January Challenge kicks off tomorrow, 1/1/21! I want you to be able to use the workouts and the schedule to find the way that best works for you to make this a real lifestyle, but that also involves some work other than the actual workouts. What I mean by that, and you already know if you read your Daily Tip Sheet in the app, is to create a morning routine and some January goals that you want to do in conjunction with the workouts. I want to share my January Challenge goals with you all today in case it helps spark some ideas or inspiration for your own.Read More

New Devotionals for 2021
One thing that I used to be really good about doing on a daily basis that definitely took a hit in 2020 was my daily devotional habit. I always used to start my days like that, and to be honest I do think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I'm really a very routine-oriented person and I like to read these in the morning first thing or really not at all. I know that's not the right mindset because I need to do it anytime. I just like to start my day with it!Read More
Finding Motivation & Getting Out of a Workout Rut
I've written a few blog posts in the past regarding the topic of motivation. It's intrinsically linked to exercise and finding a routine, and so naturally people always ask the question about finding motivation. It's helpful to hear what other people are doing and what works for them. I've written a post called "Perspectives on Exercises" and that touches on evaluating your perspective to look out of a different lens on why it's important to make exercise part of your lifestyle. In today's post I'll talk more about finding motivation specifically when it comes to getting out of a workout rut.Read More
