What would it be like if you smashed your own goals? Let me explain.
We are deep into the rhythm of summer swim training and meets. The sun is shining, the goggles are fogged, and our beach towels are permanently damp. One day, as we were walking to the car after practice, my son turned to me and said, “I’m going to smash my times this year.” It took me a second to let it sink in. Smash his times? What exactly did he mean? And then I realized—he didn’t say he was going to win his age category. He didn’t say he was going to beat the other boys. He said he was going to beat himself. He knew the only person he was competing against was himself. And isn’t that just the truth when it comes to our movement goals too? Whether we’re walking more, lifting weights, joining a class, or recovering from an injury, it’s so easy to get caught in the comparison trap: ➡️ “She’s doing more than me.” ➡️ “He’s fitter than I am.” ➡️ “They’re already back to running, and I’m not there yet.” But what if—just like my 13-year-old—we flipped that script? What if you focused only on you? Where you were. Where you are. Where you want to go. It changes the game. It shifts the energy. Because when we let go of comparison, we create space to build true momentum. And hey, if you’re not totally sure what your movement goals even are right now, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why we gather each month inside The MedFit Movement Studio for Community Conversations — a welcoming, supportive space to set intentions and check in with your movement, your body, and your goals. And July is a double whammy 🎯 We're setting the tone for both July AND August (because we take a break from Community Conversations in August). So now’s the time to jump in. Next Community Conversations: 🗓 Friday, July 4th 📍 Inside The MedFit Movement Studio Because if you don’t know where you are, how can you possibly know where you’re going? So, I invite you to pause, reflect, and ask: What would it look like to smash your own goals? Let’s write them down. Let’s talk them through. Let’s put in the effort so they don’t just stay intentions — they become action. I know we all have things we want to do — and things we need to do — for our health and vitality. This, my friend, is your opportunity to get the ball rolling. Let’s make it happen — together. Be well and happy moving, Lisa P.S. Not a member yet? You can still join us. It’s free!
