Episode Overview: Welcome to another episode of MilesFromHerView! In this episode, Kat from KatFit Strength dives deep into the concept of "shoulding," a term coined by Clayton Barbeau, and how it impacts our fitness journeys. Kat shares practical strategies to help you shift away from unrealistic expectations and unnecessary stress, fostering a healthier and more enjoyable approach to fitness.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Introduction to "Shoulding": Understanding the pressure we put on ourselves with thoughts like "I should be doing this" or "I shouldn't have done that."
• Impact on Fitness: How "shoulding" creates guilt and frustration, steering us away from a healthy, sustainable fitness routine.
• Strategies to Avoid "Shoulding":
  • Setting realistic goals that fit into a busy schedule
  • Celebrating small wins to maintain motivation
  • Listening to your body and adjusting workouts accordingly
  • Being kind to yourself and recognizing that setbacks are a normal part of the journey
• Conclusion: Emphasizing the importance of focusing on what you can do and what feels right for your body and lifestyle.

Takeaways:

• Replace "shoulding" with achievable and realistic fitness goals.
• Celebrate your progress, no matter how small.
• Listen to your body and give it the rest it needs.
• Be kind to yourself and remember that fitness is a journey, not a destination.
