FINISH STRONG TRAINING

Proactive not Reactive -by Laura Davis I recently came across an article that hit close to home for me. I'm always asked by people I talk to---  " how in the world I am able to and want to workout so early in the morning.

 The Power of a VISION BOARD By Molly Piercy Its 2016 and today is the day some of us reflect on the past year and think about the things we want to do differently in the upcoming year!  New experiences, new trips, new commitments, new jobs, new careers, new families-- you name it.   A vision board is a HELPFUL reminder daily of all of your AMBITIONS that you have for the year.   A  vision board  is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do or have in your life. You can see a picture of my vision board I created last January right in the studio at Finish Strong-- A few of you joined me.  We brought tons of magazines and off we went cutting and pasting.  Its also important that you say your goals OUT LOUD-- so at the end we all got up and told about the pictures ...
