If you want to experience a truly extraordinary life, this message is for you. And it’s not about quitting your job and frolicking off to foreign lands (although if that’s your goal, more power to you!). It’s about making small and easy choices each day that add up to a massive up-level. I talk a lot about growth because I truly believe it’s something most humans desire but get wrapped up in life obligations and being “too busy” to really prioritize.  So, here’s a quick list of suggestions for things you can do that will literally transform you and your life:
Tell me, are you currently practicing any of the above? Which do you feel would really push your growth edge and change your life for the better? I’d love for you to share –let me know below!

Your reptilian brain is the best liar. Designed for seeking pleasure and rest. For avoiding change and doing scary things. You can thank your brain for protecting your multi-millennia old human ancestors, but you’ve gotta get it in check for the world we exist in today. You see… it’s not your brain’s fault that it’s a chronic liar. It’s just doing what it’s supposed to do – to keep you safe. Unfortunately, it hasn’t quite realized that no animal is looking to eat you as its prey on a daily basis. Or that food is no longer in scarcity. So, it keeps doing its job. One that served our ancestors well but not so much the modern human. And it lies to you. A LOT.  It tells you that changing is terrifying, life-threatening even. So, you obviously shouldn’t do that. It tells you to live for pleasure – rest, good food, fun, and not to distress yourself with uncomfortable things like exercise. The next time your brain pipes up and makes you feel resistance or fear to something you know you need to do, just remember what’s actually happening. Start seeing yourself almost as a separate entity from your brain. Because your brain truly has its own agenda separate from yours. Crazy, right!? Let me know how this sits with you, my friend. Are there ways that your reptilian brain is holding you back? You might even be feeling a little like your mind is blown - and that’s to be expected. WANT MORE OF THIS?

I hope this message of love and hope will resonate with you. Unprecedented times call on us to step up like never before. The world feels like a very heavy, very angry place. A few months ago, life was normal and now it’s anything but... But the beauty in all of this is that we get to grow through the process. We must learn to navigate new paths and learn how to think differently. Is it disruptive? Yes. Inconvenient? Yes. But look for those opportunities to grow. The reason I am writing this to you today is because I simply want to remind you that this is all temporary. That you are amazingly strong. That you are cared for, and whatever you’re feeling right now is okay to feel. You will get through this.  Choose the outcome you want to experience 6 months from now TODAY. Use this time to step into your healthiest, most fit self. To learn new skills, practice great habits, and to manage your mindset and thoughts through difficult times. To build stronger connections with the people in your life, even if you can’t physically be in front of them yet. We have open space to create more good in our lives and the lives of those we care for more than ever. Focus on what you can control and choose the thoughts that serve you, even when it feels hard to do. Because it’s not all bad. There’s opportunity in everything if you seek it. Through all of this, I want you to know I’m sending you so much grace, compassion, and light. We’re in this together as a global community. If you need anything at all – from help online with your health and fitness or just an ear, I’m here. We’ve got this. Lots of love, Wilcox Wellness & Fitness WANT MORE OF THIS?

Your overall body weight, the foods you eat regularly, your quality of sleep & stress-management, and how much you exercise ALWAYS impacts your immune system and your body’s ability to take care of you in the face of viruses, infection, etc. So, to put it mildly, taking care of your overall health every single day must be a top priority… now more than ever. There are certain foods that have a known effect to boost your immune system, so given the state of the world, I thought it would be valuable to compile a list for you so you can add these to your next grocery order ASAP. Of course, always speak to your doctor first. Here’s to health, immunity, and getting through this stronger together! Lots of love, Wilcox Wellness & Fitness WANT MORE OF THIS?

Too often we think that when we achieve a certain goal – making a certain amount of money, achieving a specific weight or size, or even finding a relationship we love – then we will be happy. But the truth is, happiness is a choice and something you create where you are now – not somewhere in the future that’s brought on by an achievement or another person. There’s no need to say to yourself ”WHEN this thing happens, THEN I’ll feel happier.” Because you can CHOOSE it right now. No matter where you are and how tough it might seem.  Here are a few ideas on ways to create happiness:
1. Grow yourself – Whether it’s learning new skills, building a new career, reading personal development books, creating new personal practices, etc, there are a million ways to grow yourself. Growth avoids stagnation, which can be a very depressing experience for some people. 2. Give more – This could be giving to charity, giving to a friend in need, or simply leaving a bigger tip for your server at a restaurant. Giving fundamentally makes us feel good! 3. Get into nature – Spending time outside with fresh air, sunshine, and the sounds of the outdoors is 100% good for your soul. You might find yourself seriously inspired if you do this frequently enough! 4. Spend time with loved ones – This can be friends, family, or even your pets. Experiencing love, connection, and laughter is a critical need for all humans. 5. Move your body! Endorphins that make you feel good and happier are a real thing! Humans are designed for movement – not sitting in desk chairs, on couches, and in cars throughout the day before moving to the bed at night. So, do yourself a favor and commit to movement in some way every single day! WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

They allow others and outside factors to steer the direction of their lives. To dictate what happens to them, where they go, how they feel, where they end up at the end of their days. The other type is the driver. The driver knows what they want, goes after it, and doesn’t allow anyone else or anything to stand between them and the life they’re going to build, and everyone around them benefits as a result of their commitment. Most people are passengers for a million and one different reasons. Drivers are far more rare. They’re not ever too busy to take care of themselves and ensure their family also has their needs met. They’re focused and determined and seemingly “have it all.” And simultaneously, they experience deep happiness and fulfillment because, as the driver, it’s what they’ve chosen and created.  One isn’t better than the other – that’s not what this is about.
But the driver tends to make more out of life. And the beautiful part of all of this is that we get to CHOOSE if we’re the passenger or the driver. It’s never a coincidence, although often we don’t realize the choice. So, my friend… have you been living as the passenger or the driver in your own life? No judgment either way. And based on this analogy, is there anything you’d like to do differently? <3 Paige WANT MORE OF THIS? Be sure to connect with us on Social Media.

Willpower is like a muscle – it gets tired if you rely on it too much, and that can lead to quickly falling off track with your new habits. PLUS, your underlying lifestyle hasn’t been set up to support the long-term changes you are trying to create. That’s where the power of HABIT comes in. When you slowly introduce changes to your lifestyle, you not only need to use less willpower, you also are building a STABLE FOUNDATION for even greater change! THE TRICK: One trick is to create small habits you can easily build into your life so you almost don’t notice that they are there. With that in mind… I have a question for you! What are 1-2 small new habits you can start practicing today, to help build a healthy foundation? I’m talking about something simple, like: ● Drinking a big glass of water first thing in the morning ● Going for a 5-minute walk after lunch ● Repeating 1-2 positive mindset affirmations as you start your day ● Or something else that resonates with you.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty incredible and I highly recommend it. Most people don’t know this about Jordan… but he had a secret club called “The Breakfast Club.” After a 3-year playoff losing streak to the Detroit Pistons in the late 80’s, Jordan decided to triple-down on his already legendary practice habit by creating a secret “club.” He realized he needed to improve his strength and endurance to overcome the Pistons, so he set up a morning workout habit to specifically improve those traits. It wasn’t long until some of his teammates became curious about his early-morning routine and joined him. Every morning as early as 5 o’clock, they’d get together for intense workouts and also have a nutrient-rich breakfast to help refuel, repair, and rebuild their bodies. This was in ADDITION to their normal practice schedule! Back then, this holistic approach – combining nutrition and fitness – was considered groundbreaking. It’s common now because it works… but the Chicago Bulls went on to become a legendary team, dominating the NBA in the 1990’s by winning 6 championships!  I love this story for so many reasons, because the same strategy can be applied in our everyday lives. It isn’t just for pro athletes and wealthy celebrities.
First, the Bulls had a goal – they wanted to win, but first they needed to beat the physically dominating Pistons. Jordan took control of the situation by figuring out what needed to change. Then, he created an intentional, step-by-step plan to make that change possible, and hired a trainer and chef to help him. He didn’t wait for his team to buy into his new morning workout habit – he started on his own. And when they saw his success, his teammates joined him – and they made a serious dent in sports history. Think about how you can do this in your OWN life. What’s that first step YOU can take?
