ITS A NEW YEAR!
Do you think we have ever been more excited to start a new year than this year? Not in my lifetime.
So with a new year upon us and knowing last year was tough, challenging, irritating and a struggle for so many, what can we do this year to move forward. To launch us to heights we have never seen?
We can start by avoiding New Years resolutions that fade in two weeks and rather create long lasting successful goals.
I am talking about creating "SMART Goals"

Set SMART goals and create a fast start for 2021.

This past weekend we cleaned our house a little, tidying up, put toys away, wiped down the kitchen, deep cleaned the bathrooms and generally made the house look nice and stress free.
Honestly, it looked beautiful. And I couldn't help but think how much pleasure it brought us to live in a clean house.
Of course, with 2 boys, it didn't last long, but there was a satisfaction in a clean house and in general keeping the environment clean and tidy. So we thought we would share our habits to maintain and keep a stress-free home.

Waking up early has its benefits, including better health and more productivity. But have we ever put this idea into action?

Sticking with your goal and powering through almost always leads to you mastering that goal. It just might not be the way you thought. AND sometimes we need to find alternative ways to keep you motivated while struggling.

The crucial element in setting and attaining a goal lies in the motivation and drive that propels you forward. In Part I of the motivation we looked at how to find the motivation within and in part II and III we look at what it takes to keep yourself going when you don’t feel the same excitement as you did in the beginning.
Maybe something new has come into your life and your old goal isn’t as valuable to you anymore. Maybe you skipped a day or two and now you can’t get back into it. Maybe you screwed up and got discouraged.
If you can get yourself excited again, and keep going, you’ll get there eventually. But if you give up, you won’t. It’s your choice — accomplish the goal, or quit. So here are the ways you can stop from quitting, and get to your goal!!

Carbs have long been viewed as an enemy to weight loss, but that doesn't mean you have to cut them out of your diet completely. If you know which carbs to eat, and how often to consume them, research has shown they can actually help you shed some pounds.
At the same time, there is ample evidence to support that reducing carbs in one's diet—most notably simple or refined carbs—will have a huge impact on weight loss.
So before you embark on a lower-carb, low-carb or no-carb diet, you should listen to this before cutting carbs out of your life

Healthy thinking does NOT mean positive thinking! No one can look at things positively all the time.
Sometimes bad things happen, (marriage ends, job loss, and argument or a loss of a loved one) It's normal and healthy to feel upset and have negative thoughts when these things happen.
Healthy thinking means looking at the entire situation—the positive, the negative and the neutral parts... ALL OF IT. Then coming to a conclusion. It's about viewing the world in a balanced way.
So today, let us look at the common traps we all find ourselves in, asking ourselves these important questions
- What is the situation? What actually happened? Only include facts that everyone would agree on.
- What are your thoughts? What are you telling yourself?
- What are your emotions? How do you feel?
- What are your behaviours? How are you reacting? What are you doing to cope?
And getting out.
We can all do this! If you want to dig deeper in your health or fitness click on the link below and make sure you subscribe to never miss a podcast.

How often do we mistake comfort for happiness?
Do you think that we can experience true happiness without some form of discomfort to get there?
For discomfort I’m referring to fear of failure, stepping outside of your comfort zone, doing hard things. Doing something you worry you might be made fun of or criticized for.
And lets face it - HUMANS DO NOT LIKE CHANGE.So lets tackle this uncomfortable topic so that together we can feel comfortable when uncomfortable.

Let's face it, its never a bad thing to ask our significant other questions to dive deeper into a relationship. Asking the right questions is a great way to get to know each other better. Now you could do that the boring way or you could make it more comfortable and turn it into a fun date night!
If you are asking yourself “is there really anything that I don't know about my partner" then you are asking yourself the same question we said. And were we wrong!
Listen to the podcast for the first set of questions we asked each other but you could always put in a google search for more questions. These questions range from casual and fun to deep and serious to romantic—everything you need to get to know your significant other on a different level.
Ask questions, be curious and enjoy because who knows you might just become more connected with the love of your life!

Do you ever feel like time passes you by or that there just isnt enough time in the day to get done what needs to be done? Or is life like a lyric from a Luke Bryan song?
“I believe that days go slow and years go fast And every breath's a gift, the first one to the last”
Why does it always feel like this? Are we doing something wrong? Are we misguided or are we just focusing on the wrong things? How can we capture more time in our life so that we can do as Aaron Rodgers once so elegantly put, R E L A X relax?
Let's stop wasting precious time by looking at the things we do daily and make the necessary corrections together!

For those who need a little taste, here is a brief excerpt:
EXCERPT FROM SOCIAL CURRENCY
*Beauty is our focus as women. Not by choice, but by conditioning. We’re told being beautiful is our ticket to acceptance. Our natural tendency is a desire towards being chosen for the unique form of beauty we express. Which is why women both respect and desire the social currency of beauty. But this desire has been harnessed against us - it’s been emphasized and prioritized by culture to the extent that it’s expected from all women, all the time, in every scenario.
What started as a tendency and a basic desire has mutated into a craving, an addiction fed by every message convincing women they aren’t enough until they’re beautiful...and once they are, they better fight like hell to not let it slip away.*XO Michael & Mickayla

The heart of a champion is in all of us! But what separates the true greats? The ones who rise above everyone else. The ones who never accept defeat because winning is so ingrained in their DNA that its just what they do.
They Win!
I recently watched the documentary "The Last Dance." The story of the last championship season from the legendary Chicago Bulls in the late nineties. Led by Michael Jordan, the documentary follows the trials, tribulations and amazing success that the team had during that season.
But more than anything it followed the never give up, leave everything on the court, losing is not an option mentality that Michael Jordan had in every day of his life.
This mindset is true in other greats in every sport. So come with me today as we look at the small changes we all can implement to be a GREAT in everything we do!

“What is a healthy relationship?” With every relationship being different this could be a challenge to understand. But what if the answer is easier than you think?

Feeling good, smelling delicious and looking our best makes us feel great. There is nothing wrong with that. But have we ever stopped and looked at what is in some of our beauty products?
Actually understood the ingredients and took the time to make sure that what we use on the daily is actually good for us?
In the past, both of us never did but as we have become more conscious of what we put in or on our body we have found some SCARY ingredients that have no place near us.
Because of this, we have started a series called TOXIC BEAUTY to tackle specific daily products we us that may have ingredients we want to avoid and clear alternatives to switch too.
In this podcast we mentioned a couple interesting studies that helped with our research. find them below:
1. Parabens 2. Aluminum 3. Carcinogen
4. Glycol 5. FDA regulations
We did mention attaching links of alternatives to our daily products that don't contain the harsh ingredients. That would be Beauty By Earth.

"Plastic has its role in modern society. It’s an essential part of our cars, computers, mobile phones, children’s toys – and practically most everything we use on a day-to-day basis. But there’s one place where plastic has worn out its welcome – and that’s as a container for the food we eat and the water we drink” -Anonymous 1983
Well that sure came true! Let's face it, plastics are everywhere, but what is safe and how can we protect ourselves? it may be easier than you think!
On today's podcast we focus on our love for plastic and find ways to reduce the use to help us and our environment.

- Regulating blood sugar & insulin

Why we have limiting beliefs and how to overcome them!!!
We all want to overcome the barriers that are holding us back so that we can be the best versions of ourselves. When we master a goal or we win at something we are on top of the world but when we fail or limit ourselves, well, we feel like crap.
Call it lack of motivation, insecurity or confidence. Whatever it may be we want YOU to know that you are not alone. These limiting beliefs happen to everyone but today instead of focusing on what is not working, let's focus on empowering ourselves with positive beliefs that will benefit every aspect of our lives from this day forward.
We mentioned several techniques (The Sweep & Chakra Tapping) of breaking free of limiting beliefs and that link is HERE.
If you want to take on this positive change and look to conquer limiting beliefs that you had with nutrition or fitness contact us at Mickayla Stoner Fitness, check out Mickayla's Successful Programing and make sure to never miss inspiration on Facebook or Insta!

And these important and crucial needs are the focal point of todays podcast.

As we enter into the final month of 2019 we find it so incredibly important to look back at the year. What did we achieve? Where was the growth? What worked? What didn't?
Why a Year in review you may ask?
We do this so that we can plan and set high aspirations for 2020. Creating a solid roadmap with steps to achieve those goals is how we can be aligned with our vision, stay focused and crush the year.
Come with us in this podcast as we take a look at 6 goal setting categories that will propel us forward in the new year. Wherever you are at, this podcast will help you create a plan for the year.
We mentioned in the podcast a Quick Guide to staying thankful throughout the year and a challenge to stick with these. The list is below.
1. Write a thank-you note: You can make yourself happier & nurture your relationship by expressing your enjoyment and appreciation for a person's impact on your life.
2. Thank someone mentally: Take the time to think of someone else and thank them.
3. Keep a gratitude or thankful journal: Make a habit to write down or share the thoughts and gifts you've received each day.
4. Count your blessings: Pick a time every week to sit down and write about your blessings, reflect on what went right or what you are grateful for.
5. Pray: People who are religious can use prayer to cultivate gratitude.
6. Meditate: Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on the present moment without judgement. Focus on what you are grateful for.

Let's take a step back in time...
When you were a child did you have a dream of what you wanted to do when you grew up? Did you want to be an astronaut, baseball player, the president, or a Ninja Turtle?
When did that dream disappear? When did you lose that inspiration to conquer the steps it would take to make that dream a reality?
Do you STILL want that Dream?
We all have dreams, some fantasy but many could be a reality. Life has a way of keeping us from reaching those goals and obtaining the dream we had for ourselves. But what if I said, you still have that fight inside of you. Would you believe it?
Each and every one of us is on our own personal journey, but if we team together, support each other, and encourage each other to discover our dreams, wouldn't we live in a lot healthier and happy place?
In this episode we take an in depth look at discovering our dream job while Mickayla shares her story of finding hers and how she went step by step into making that dream a reality.
I mentioned in this episode SheInvited. If you are a woman looking for a community of supportive and passionate women, supporting each other and lifting up ALL women, I highly recommend connecting with SheInvited. You can always ask Mickayla on social media on Insta or Facebook too!

We want you to take ONE step toward living a life of purpose. Can you take that step today? Are you open and willing to make a stance for yourself and say yes to your purpose.
Mickayla and I believe we all have a purpose in this life and discovery is the first step toward walking down that path. To learn more about a purpose driven life, put on those headphones and listen into this episode.
As promised I have supplied you with a few of actionable steps toward making that commitment to yourself. If you like these and want more information on living a life of purpose, connect with us here.
Love you all!! Michael & Mickayla
How to find my purpose and live a life that is full:
1. Start by examining what you value most. Is it balance, faith, family, compassion, excellence, generosity, peace, connection to others, or something else.
2. Consider what you would hope others would say about you when they describe you. What legacy do you want to leave?
3. Take a moment to write down your own special purpose. The simple act of writing things down, like goals and purpose, greatly increases their power in our lives.
4. Start each day and end each day by reciting it. Write it on a business card and carry it in your wallet or purse. In moments of fear, frustration, and sorry, pull it out and read it. Doing so will help you keep things in perspective and remind you to stay focused on what is most important to you.
So often do we hit the gym without a goal in mind, without a plan. Creating a plan for our nutrition, fitness and health will set us up for success and create a lifestyle change.
But not just any generic plan will work. We need to create a custom plan that fits with what we plan to achieve. When we put together a game plan, goals to hit, answer the "why" question and do it all with ourselves in mind, nothing can stop us.
Listen into today's podcast to learn several tips and steps to create the perfect custom plan, setting you up for success.

We discovered Intermittent Fasting years ago and found this lifestyle change to be an absolute game changer. Now its our turn to share how IT works, the different forms and if it is right for you.
IT has so many benefits and we wanted to share those with you. We always find the same several questions hoping up and wanted to share those below!
**FAQ
How long can I do this?** Intermittent Fasting is a lifestyle, not a diet. You can adapt this way of living and eating long term like I have if you wish!
Can I have mints or chew sugar-free gum during my fasting window? No. But you way have black coffee, herbal or green tea, and naturally flavored sparkling water (if you must).
How soon can I expect to see results? While each person is different - once you get into a set 16/8 lifestyle and are working out at the end of your fasts, you should see positive results within the first 7-10 days.
I've always had breakfast right away in the morning, what if I feel like I'm starving?Start by following a crescendo method and pushing back your breakfast by just an hour, then two hours, then 3 hours etc... Drink some water and wait out the feeling. With dizziness I recommend making a bullet proof coffee and sipping on that until it's time to eat. If you're experiencing this often, you may be under eating during your feeding window! Be sure you're tracking your food!
We mentioned a previous episode to look into for more details. That Episode is Episode 11
