Her Side: Breaking Bad Habits – s01e07

Join hosts Melissa and Paulette for a powerful episode of HerSide, featuring special guest Coach Lily. This week, we’re tackling the common bad habits that many women struggle with, from imposter syndrome to neglecting self-care. We’ll discuss how we often fail to give ourselves credit, skip basic self-care routines like brushing our teeth because we dive straight into work, and constantly compare ourselves to others.

Coach Lily shares insights on breaking free from these habits, emphasizing the importance of accountability from those close to us, and engaging in soul-searching and self-reflection. We’ll explore how lashing out or blaming others can prevent us from growing and becoming better versions of ourselves.

As we celebrate Independence and Freedom Month this July, let’s focus on breaking free from these bad habits. Tune in to learn practical strategies and empower yourself to live a healthier, more self-aware life.

Reflection: On Body Positivity and Gratitude

In a world that often encourages us to focus on perceived flaws, it’s easy to fall into the trap of critiquing our own appearance. We begin the day by zeroing in on the areas we’d like to change, whether it’s our waistline, the fine lines on our face, or those little imperfections we wish could disappear. However, what if we shifted our mindset? Instead of starting the day with self-criticism, let’s begin with gratitude for our bodies. Every day, our bodies do incredible things—things we often take for granted, like moving, breathing, and healing. This November, let’s choose to celebrate the strength, mobility, and resilience that we often overlook, acknowledging the everyday blessings of our health and fitness. Whether it’s walking, playing, or simply feeling the sensation of touch, let’s take a moment to appreciate what our bodies do for us. After all, a positive body mindset starts with recognizing our worth, just as we are.

Fitness with Intention: Giving Back to Yourself and Others This Holiday Season

As the holiday season draws near, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the pressure to give and receive gifts, or to be consumed with the chaos of endless celebrations. But this year, let’s take a step back and shift our focus towards being intentional in our giving. It’s a time to not only give to others but also to give back to ourselves and our communities in meaningful ways.

Start by prioritizing your own health and well-being. A little daily activity—whether it’s a morning stretch, a brisk walk, or a quick home workout—can help you manage stress and keep you energized throughout the busy season. When we take care of ourselves physically, it enables us to show up for others with more patience, positivity, and love.

Fitness also offers an opportunity to give back to the community. Consider participating in charity runs, fundraising events, or volunteering for causes you care about. These acts of kindness and service allow you to stay active while helping those in need.

Remember, giving isn’t just about physical gifts—it’s about giving your time, energy, and love to others. Simple actions like helping a neighbor, volunteering at a local event, or donating unused items make a big difference. The true spirit of the season is found in how we support each other, creating a sense of connection and gratitude.

Take time to reflect on what you’re thankful for and how you can share that gratitude with others. Giving back—whether to yourself, your family, or your community—makes the holiday season more meaningful and reminds us of the importance of connection, kindness, and love.
