  • What to Do When Motivation Disappears

    What to Do When Motivation Disappears At some point, it’s going to happen. You wake up and just don’t feel like it. The goal you were so fired up about last week suddenly feels far away. You’re tired. You’re busy. You’re not “feeling it.” And that voice in your head starts whispering, maybe I’m just not cut out for this. Here’s the truth. That moment? It’s not a sign you’ve failed. It’s not proof that something’s wrong with you. It’s not a reason to quit. It’s just part of the process. Motivation was never meant to carry you all the way. It’s not designed to be there every ....

  • How to Stay on the Pickleball Court and Out of the Doctor’s Office

    Pickleball is a blast. It’s competitive, social, and a great way to stay active. But if you’ve been playing for a while, (or even if you’re just starting out) you’ve probably heard about someone getting hurt on the court. Maybe you’ve even felt a few of those tweaks or aches yourself. The reality is that injuries like ankle sprains, knee issues, rotator cuff pain, and “pickleball elbow” are incredibly common. And while not every injury is preventable, a lot of them are avoidable with just a few simple habits. The good news is that staying injury-free doesn’t require hours in the gym or a complicated training plan. In fact, two simple ....

  • The Power of Slowing Down

    The Power of Slowing Down Life moves fast. Between work, family, notifications, and the constant buzz of “what’s next,” it’s easy to fall into a pattern of rushing physically and mentally without even realizing it. But here’s the truth: You can’t feel peace when your mind is always racing. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause. Not quit. Not give up. Just pause. That pause is where presence lives and presence is what gives life depth, clarity, and joy. Try One of These Today: 1. Turn off your phone for an hour. Give yourself a window of peace without notifications, texts, or scrolling. You’ll ....

  • The Goal Setting Paradox: Why Your Goals Might Inspire and Stress You Out

    Goal setting is often praised as the key to personal growth. And it can be, but only if we approach it with the right mindset. Here’s the paradox no one talks about: Setting goals can give your life purpose, but it can also become a source of anxiety. Let’s break that down. Why We Set Goals in the First Place When done well, goal setting gives you direction. It creates: A sense of purpose - something bigger to move toward A sense of progress - small wins that build momentum A clearer self-identity - "I'm someone who shows up and follows through" And even a positive ripple effect - when you grow, the people around you benefit, too ....

  • Don’t Let Summer Be the Season You Quit on Yourself

    Don’t Let Summer Be the Season You Quit on Yourself The simple mindset that will help you stay strong, fit, and healthy — even when life gets busy. Let’s call out the elephant in the room: summer is one of the most common times of year when people give up on their health and fitness routines. And it’s not hard to see why. The weather is nice. There are parties, BBQs, vacations, weekend trips, longer nights on the patio... and all of it adds up to distraction and inconsistency. That’s life. And it’s normal. But here’s why this matters: To stay fit, strong, and out of pain as you age, consistency with your strength ....

  • The Way You Breathe Might Be Holding You Back

    You do it all day without thinking about it… But how you breathe can have a huge impact on how you feel, move, and perform—especially as we get older. Breathing is one of the most overlooked aspects of health and fitness. We tend to focus on the big things—workouts, steps, nutrition—but the truth is, your breath might be the missing link between how you’re feeling now and how you want to feel long-term. Here are three of the most common side effects of poor breathing habits —and what you can do about them: 1. More Stress & Anxiety Shallow or rapid breathing (especially in the chest) keeps your body stuck in a low-grade ....

  • What Counts as “Enough” Physical Activity for Health and Longevity?

    If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I doing enough?” when it comes to your workouts, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we hear from members at Beyond Measure Fitness. And with all the conflicting advice out there—10,000 steps, daily workouts, standing desks, high-intensity intervals—it’s easy to feel confused or even discouraged. So let’s clear it up. First, Let’s Talk About What “Enough” Really Means When we talk about “enough” for health and longevity , we’re not talking about building a six-pack or running a marathon. We’re talking about what ....

  • The Goal Setting Paradox: How to Chase Big Dreams Without Losing the Moment

    We’ve all heard it before: Set goals. Dream big. Push yourself. And it’s true—goals can bring meaning, motivation, and a powerful sense of direction. But here’s the paradox: The very thing that gives our life purpose can also leave us feeling inadequate, anxious, or stuck in constant comparison. We set a goal… and suddenly the gap between where we are and where we want to be feels unbearable. We work harder, push further, and still feel like it’s never enough. We get so focused on the end result that we miss the life happening right in front of us. So, what’s the answer? Do we ditch goals altogether? Not at all. ....

  • When Life Blows Up: What to Do When Your Routine Goes Off the Rails

    The last month for Kate and me? Total chaos. It felt like every week, something new came out of left field—unexpected stuff that flipped our routine upside down and made us feel like we were just hanging on for dear life. Forget goals. Forget structure. We were in pure survival mode. And if you’ve ever had one of those seasons—you know exactly what I’m talking about. But here’s something I’ve learned over time… Even when life gets messy—and your routines, goals, and plans get thrown off—it doesn’t mean you have to sprint full speed in the wrong direction. During those chaotic weeks, I couldn’t keep up ....
