Many people struggle with maintaining a healthy lifestyle due to a lack of willpower. However, research from the 90s has shown that willpower is a finite resource, and we are more likely to run out of it when tired, stressed, or after making several decisions throughout the day. This often leads to skipping exercise, ordering unhealthy takeout, and giving up on our goals altogether. But there is good news! Recent studies suggest that the concept of ego depletion only applies if we believe in it. In other words, if we believe we will run out of willpower, we likely will. So, what can we do about it? We can focus on building mental toughness, also known as personal responsibility and accountability. Mental toughness is the ability to stay determined and focused when faced with challenges and to have the resilience and flexibility to overcome obstacles.
By following these eight practices, you can build your resilience and mental toughness over time. Remember that it's a gradual process, and you may encounter setbacks along the way. But with consistency and perseverance, you can achieve your goals. So, what are you waiting for? Put these practices into action today and start building your resilience! And don't forget to download our Resilience and Mental Toughness Guide for even more tips and inspiration. Together, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way.

As we get into the month of May we’re sending out a big shout out to our May Athlete of the Month, Kellie Stinson.
Kellie is an ultra marathon runner, and her love for running is matched by her unwavering commitment to her training in the gym. She's acutely aware of how her workouts at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness contribute to her running success, as evidenced by her consistent improvements in personal records and increased ease during runs.
We are committed to staying ahead of the curve by always learning and updating our approach to best serve our clients. Kellie embodies this mindset, with an open-minded approach to new fitness approaches. While it can be challenging to adjust to changes after years or decades of doing things a certain way, Kellie has recognized the value in these adaptations. By observing and questioning these changes, she has strengthened her own understanding of how she can optimize her training for maximum benefit.
Kellie was receptive to this approach, eventually embracing it wholeheartedly and realizing that an intuitive eating method was truly efficacious. As a result, Kellie made notable strides towards her weight loss targets over the last several months.
