So what does it mean to FEEL BETTER? (part 2 of a 4 part series)Do you workout to feel better? This is probably the MAIN motivator for many. We feel better when we are active due to what is actually happening in our bodies. Whether your reason is to manage stress better, give yourself an outlet to release tension, or to clear your mind--our bodies have processes that help us manage our energy supply better, and literally change our brain chemistry.  Listen in to this episode as I break down three main areas in which the body changes how it works to help us FEEL better.  Make sure you follow us and leave us a review--find our show on our website www.cufitness.com and click the ‘podcast’ tab.The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.  SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care:https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/Looking for some focused assistance with your fitness and self care plans?Join our signature online fitness training program BODY MOXIE.  Body Moxie (cufitnessretreats.com)www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community - LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

This episode kicks off a special 3 part series in which I take a deeper dive into primary motivations behind WHY we do a fitness or self care program and what’s REALLY behind it.We can say we want to accomplish a certain goal, but until we are super clear on what that means, we will be off an on the ‘workout wagon’ and believe we aren’t getting anywhere.I'm taking a closer look at what ‘Looking Better’ actually means, how our metabolism is affected and a strategy to keep in mind to move forward.*************************************The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.**********************************SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/Looking for some focused assistance with your fitness and self care plans?  Join our signature online fitness training program BODY MOXIE.  Body Moxie (cufitnessretreats.com)www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

This episode is packed full of golden nuggets!  Listen to my chat with Katie Corbett, a fellow coach who not only has an inspiring story--but coaches her clients to lose weight for the ‘last time’ through applying daily self care tips.We underestimate the small steps we take daily--and instead, put huge emphasis on the MAJOR decisions and action plans. Looking at HOW we approach our daily self care can actually help us move the needle forward in ways that pay huge dividends later. And with Summer upon us, why not now? GUEST LINKS:Katie’s link:  www.healthwellnesschocolate.com IG:  @healthwellnesschocolate The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.   SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/ Looking for some focused assistance with your fitness and self care plans?  Join our signature online fitness training program BODY MOXIEBody Moxie (cufitnessretreats.com)www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

When we ‘get stuck’ in our lives--we tell ourselves its due to all the ‘things’ we do in our daily routines--from all of our commitments, to the areas that really express our limiting beliefs.We tell ourselves we’ll wait for a better day, or a better time. Only what we do actually contradicts what we desire--so we never get anywhere.Listen in to my chat with colleague, Janice Campbell as she shares insight into a framework she developed to help us stay in alignment for what we truly desire--so that our day to day actions actually match that.GUEST LINKS:janice campbell:  Receive Your Life *******************************The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.******************************SHOW LINKS:Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/Looking for some focused assistance with your fitness and self care plans?

So what does RESET mean when it comes to us?I hear this term used a lot.  Loosely. What do you think of with RESET? A chance to begin again? A new plan? Wiping the slate clean? Destressing from all your regular day to day commitments?RESET means different things to different people--and depending on where you are--it could mean a combination of all of the above.We recently hosted our first destination retreat of 2021 in Key West and it was EPIC.All the women who showed up were ready for change.  And one word they all used was RESET.Listen in to this episode and I share my biggest takeaways from our retreat--and also HOW you can find your meaning of  RESET. Take advantage of our ‘60 day Fitness Sprint’ --get access to our Energy Eating unit, customized metabolic quiz and accountability support for 60 days--just $149.  Contact Us - CU Fitness*************************************The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.A NC hemp company that manufactures all natural products.www.flatriverinfusions.comUse the code ‘cufitness’ to get a 20% discount off all purchases.************************************Become a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/Looking for some focused assistance with your fitness and self care plans?  Join our signature online fitness training program BODY MOXIE.  Body Moxie (cufitnessretreats.com)www.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkats

So what does your home environment suggest about how you take care of you?Think about it.  When we feel stuck, or uninspired--look at how you live. We identify our home as where we live--but it ultimately should be a ‘safe space’ for us to feel in alignment with what we desire from our lives.  So much of what we do is AT home.John and Sherri Monte are the founders of Elegant Simplicity Interior Design.

As we come out of the #covid19 pandemic, its KEY to have an idea of where you immune system is, and really WHAT makes it work.And a lot of that information is readily available to us--when we get lab work done.  Only you probably don’t really understand what a lot of it means, and how you can immediately know what you need to do with clarity.Take a listen to this week’s episode as I chat with national expert Dr Kylie Burton on what we CAN do to help our immune systems work better--EVEN if you are told your labs are ‘normal’.Part of being proactive with our overall fitness and self care is keeping our immune system in check--and along with that comes an understanding of what we are working against.When we understand how our body works, and what we need to watch for, we become better citizens on the front lines of our own health and fitness.Leave us a review and follow us!The Ultimate Journey of Self Care is proud to be partners with ‘Flat River Infusions’.
