It is that time of year again! The air is getting colder, the leaves are changing color, and one of my favorite holidays is right around the corner, Thanksgiving. It is a great time to spend with close friends and family but also a time to reflect on the past year and take a minute to really think about what you are grateful for in this life.
First..
I want to say how thankful I am for my friends and family. These people that I have surrounded myself with have made me a better person and have all added to the joys and happiness that I seek on a regular basis. They have supported me and inspired me. They believe in me when I don’t always believe in myself. I am beyond grateful to have so many loved ones in my life and it brings me great happiness to continue this journey of life with them by my side. 
Second..
I am thankful for my health. I work in a field where my main focus is to help each one of my clients achieve a healthy body and mind. Reality can be extremely tough when certain things like diseases and disabilities are working against us. I try to never take for granted simple things in life- like being able to put two feet on the ground when I get out of bed, or going for a mid afternoon run whenever I want, or having no significant restrictions to try anything fitness or sport related.
And thirdly..
I am thankful for my career. I spent most of my twenties seeking careers that meant nothing to me. I thought I had to have a certain title, make a certain amount of money, or work for a specific company to “be successful”. I was miserable. I followed my heart and now work does not feel like work. I love what I do and I am excited each and every day that I get to do it. My co-workers are amazing human beings that teach me and help me grow as a fitness professional every day. My clients are the best people that I watch grow and develop into healthier and happier individuals.
For the fun, silly stuff!

Enjoy your holiday! Don’t forget to reflect on your year and life and all the wonderful things that you have to be thankful for.
Be Fit Be Free,
Trainer Becca
