Coach E’s Daily HIT (Hajer Inspired Thought.)
Thoughts on living a more fit and fulfilled life you love.
January 3rd, 2018
Where focus goes, energy flows. What you focus on you feel.
Today’s HIT is an invitation to focus on what’s right today. Focus on what you’re grateful for. If you’re going through a rough patch focus on what you can control and how you can be resourceful and creative in your approach.
Is it time to take a break from the media? Let go of a toxic relationship? Focus on an area of your life that is yearning for attention?
Take away: Harness the power of your focus today. You get to decide. Choose wisely.
See you out there!

The Power of Rituals
When it comes to transforming your body and your life, I offer your rituals become your destiny.
This week I invite you to take a closer look at the fitness/wellness ritual that has best served you (such as starting your day with healthy breakfast routine) and one ritual that has historically stolen from you (such as mindless late night snacking/binging.)
Your assignment: Take a few minutes and write about how you have integrated your empowering ritual into your life. Success leaves clues. How did you move this ritual from a “should” to a must? What was the driving force? How good does it feel to engage in this ritual? Why?
Next write about your limiting ritual. How is this ritual stealing from you? Your health? Relationships? Self-esteem? How would your boy/health/life transform if you replaced this ritual with something that empowers you?
*Key question: What small step can you take today to replace this ritual with a routine that both feels good and keep you aligned with your health/wellness goals /values?
Keep it fun and keep it simple. Notice how good this feels!

Small Things Great Love
Coach Erik here:
We can never heal all of the sadness and pain in other people’s lives. We can’t carry their load and produce miracles overnight. But we can bring a cup of cool water to a thirsty soul or a scoop of laughter to a lonely heart. We can give someone the gift of our full presence and the miracle of unconditional love.
Take away: Mother Theresa once said, “We cannot do great things only small things with great love.” I invite you to something small with great love today. Notice how good this feels.

Take The Plunge!
Boldness has power, genius and magic in it. Begin it now!
These famous words by Johann van Goethe, rung in my ear as I dove head first into the frigid Atlantic Ocean for my 42nd birthday Sunday. While the icey water stung my flesh and shocked my body I felt alive, vital and empowered!
My birthday polar plunge was a symbolic start to a personal challenge this year; be bold, dig deep and take inspired action!
Take away: When it comes to stepping up to a new challenge or an old obstacle this year, I invite you to lean in and take inspired action. When you do people, events and resources you never dreamed of will come your way.
What’s the point of being alive if we don’t at least try to do something remarkable? Be bold, dig deep and take the plunge!

4 Amazing Benefits of Interval Training
Interval training defined as alternating bursts of high intensity activity followed by intervals of lighter activity can have amazing effects on your health and physique. Here’s what it can do for you:
#1 Burn more calories in less time.
#2 increases your basal metabolic rate (the rate you burn calories at rest) so you will be a fat burring machine for the next 24 hours after an interval session.
#3 Strengthens your heart and cardiovascular system.
#4 You can do interval training using any exercise modality that elevates your heart rate. For example; power walking, biking, jumping rope or swimming.
Give these two workouts a go:
Workout 1
Warm-up
10 x 1 min. @ PE 8.5-8.8 each followed by 1 min. recovery
Cool down
Workout 2
Warm-up
5 x 2 min. @ PE 8.5-8.8 each followed by 2 min. recovery
Cool down
Notes
1) PE stands for perceived exertion. This is a scale from 1-10 with 1 being lying on the couch and 10 being an all out effort. This is your perception of exercise intensity during your interval.
2) This can be done with ay type of exercise that gets your heart rate up.
Let me know how it goes!

Enlighten Up!
Coach E here:
For years I took myself way too seriously and as a result missed out on a lot of freedom, adventure, laughter and joy.
Take away: Enlighten up! Be quick to laugh at yourself or a situation today. Dwell in possibilities not difficulties. Have the courage to be seen, heard and felt in all of your perfect imperfection.
Remember when you smile at the world the world smiles back!
