Kathleen Trotter – Finding Your Fit

If you're currently in the process of finding your fit, understand that the road can sometimes feel long, confusing, and at times, defeating.

But what if all the diet plans, workout logs, and protein shakes were actually the furthest thing away from what you actually need to let go of old weight?

What our guest today on the podcast shares, is the compassion connection: how self-compassion plugs into a healthy fitness program, and why it may be the missing key to sustainable behavior change that produces lasting results.

The Compassion – Fitness Connection

As Kathleen Trotter, personal Trainer, Globe and Mail columnist, pilates equipment specialist, Huffington Post blogger and fitness writer with over 15 years experience, knows firsthand, the voices in your head don't always tell the truth:

“Too many of us let “brain propaganda” highjack our lives. You know what I am talking about: “Who cares if I hit the snooze button and miss my workout just this once?” Or, “I can eat this cake — what does it matter?” Or, “Why even try to lose weight… I am just going to fail. I can't do anything right.”

We are all human and thus to some degree will always struggle against unproductive brain propaganda, but it is a matter of what actions you take to counter that propaganda.

To paraphrase what Snape said to Harry Potter, “We all have dark and light inside of us. It is what we DO that defines us.” (Read Kathleen's full article on Huffington Post)
