They are watching everything.
This morning I brought my son with me to the gym. He played with his gator monster truck and explored kettle bells while I focused on mobility and lifting light for form.
Teaching Strength
During our time in the gym we talked about how exercise helps our bodies to be strong for a long time so we can keep doing the things we love.
Making Time
I brought my son with me not because it is the easy thing to do. I prefer to have workouts solo so I can lock in. But I wanted him to see there is ALWAYS time to take care of our bodies and exercise.
Showing Up
Keeping my body strong helps me show up best in all of the roles I play: running a recruiting agency, a partner, a mom, a friend, a daughter.
Final Thoughts
Our children are always watching. The habits we build and the priorities we set become the lessons they carry with them.
Making time for your health is not selfish. It is how you show up as your best self in every role you play.
What are you modeling for the ones watching you?
