My son wanted to lift with me today then did his own thing on the machines...when we were done he said “aren’t you proud that you have a STRONG son” 💪🏼💖 you already know 🙌🏻 #futurestrongman #rememberwhoiswatching #littlelifter #teachumyoung #proudmommoment #mommasboy (at Dover Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6jB5xjH4B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4yyg3zj2c4bf

They are absorbing what you SAY and what you DO as being about THEM. I remember hearing this as absolute Truth from a prominent leader in the fitness industry. I thought about the words that are said in my house and the activities that are normal here. I realized that what I say about myself and my values my children absorb as being about them. We exercise here. We eat fruits and vegetables here. We talk about being strong, independent, smart, and kind here. When I turn around during my workout and see one of my daughters standing there, I know I just put a marble in her marble jar. "I am strong and I can do hard things." When I eat the big salad, I add "I am worth eating food that nourishes." When I talk about STRONG women, I tell them "YOU are strong. YOU are valued. YOU are worthy. YOU can change the world." This ripple effect is something I take very seriously. My team and I take our personal wellness seriously because it is the generational effect. We are ENDING the trend of starvation diets. We are placing the conversation back on nourishment and health. We are placing seeds of a happy, healthy, well life that will move then to the next generation and the next. #changetheconversation #rememberwhoiswatching #bepartofthemovement (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd8SUcF5xn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vu0sw5fp6euv
