KEEPING YOU UPDATED

We want to make sure YOU are updated on Team Fit! That is why we created the TEAM F.I.T. BLOG. All sold out programs, class cancelations are updated daily in an effort to keep you informed.

Winter months are quickly approaching so please make sure to check on the status of class prior to leaving (rule of thumb, if the surrounding school district is closed, all morning classes are canceled - evening classes vary depending on location).

Happy Holidays!

Season's Greetings! The holidays are officially upon us and I am going to challenge you to make this your "best" holiday season ever. In this time of gratitude and blessings, I am grateful for Team Fit and all the wonderful people associated with it. Thank you for being part of our family!

As many of you know, my mom passed away this past week. She had been battling brain cancer for almost a year. Thank you very much for all of the cards, flowers, and support that many have you extended during this difficult time. I am so relieved and honored that I have such an awesome staff of trainers that not only picked up the extra work for me this past week, but their generosity and willingness in doing so. I am so blessed!

I was coaching a session two weeks ago and kept motivating my client by saying, "Why wait?" By this, I meant why wait until January to make progress on your health, fitness, & conditioning or anything else in your life that you may be procrastinating on. Now is the time to pick up the pace and finish the year strong. Successful people like to take ACTION and get things done. So think about what you need to do TODAY to make progress in your life and get it done NOW!

My featured Article in this TF Times is "Are You Busy?". It discusses ways to handle all of the many different hats we wear in life and ways on how to successfully do it all.

As we prepare for a typically hectic, busy holiday season, I wish you and yours a season that balances harmony, relaxation, play, and joy. Stay focused on what is important. Stay relaxed. And keep creating IMPACT!

Many blessings!

Are you Busy?

It seems like everyone near me is talking about being busy...Too busy. As a busy professional myself, I know what it's like to juggle many things on your plate. But then again, everyone I know is busy. So, whether it's your job, shuffling the kids to school or sports, or just trying to balance the daily demands of life, the million-dollar question is, are you busy doing the right things?

Just the other day, I heard someone comment on how we are surrounded by clocks. Think about it: We hang clocks everywhere and often wear one on our wrists. We are slaves to time. So it doesn't matter whether you know the time by your phone, PDA, cable box, microwave, heart rate monitor, watch or the movement of the sun, life isn't slowing down anytime soon. Those of us who are busy are going to stay busy. Here are a few suggestions to help make sure you're busy doing the right things:

· Game plan. Call this "Blue-sky" strategic planning time. Make sure you know where you're going. Otherwise, you will just be stuck in "busyness." Know where you want to be one year from now. Know where you want to be 90 days from now. Know where you want to be 30 days from now. Your daily decisions should all be influenced by the direction you have chosen for your future.
