Every Podcast Conversation at Your Fingertips

Can gratitude actually change the way you approach fitness? Imagine shifting your mindset from focusing on what your body can’t do to appreciating what it can do. That simple shift can unlock a whole new level of motivation and consistency in your workouts.

Gratitude isn’t just about saying thank you—it’s about grounding yourself in the present and celebrating small wins. Start by taking a few mindful breaths before your workout to center your thoughts on what you’re grateful for: your body’s strength, the time you’ve carved out for yourself, or even the progress you’ve made, no matter how small. Reflect on your achievements at the end of the day, focusing on what went well instead of what didn’t.

This abundant mindset allows you to see fitness not as a chore but as an opportunity to honor your body. By celebrating progress, not perfection, you cultivate authenticity and self-worth—two key drivers of personal growth. Remember, working on yourself isn’t selfish; it’s a gift to you and everyone around you.

0:22.5	Let's go.
0:32.7	Hello and welcome back to another bonus episode.
0:36.1	I'm so excited for today's episode. What does gratitude have to do with your fitness journey? I really truly believe a lot more than you might realize. And so that's why in today's episode, we're actually going to be diving into how gratitude can truly transform your fitness journey. And while gratitude might not be something that we naturally associate with our workouts, it actually does and can have an incredible impact on how we show up, how we see progress, and how we stay consistent.
1:01.1	But before I break down on how practicing gratitude can really supercharge your fitness journey in meaningful ways, I first want to share this review.
1:08.5	It comes from lovely Lysia. She gave a five-star view and said
1:12.9	amazing outlooks. This podcast is so great. Julie has a super sensitive way of explaining how you can
1:18.4	change things in your life for the better. I'm an elementary school teacher who has not
1:22.4	been able to really take care of myself the way that I need, which leads me to negative
1:26.6	body image. For me, episode

1:43.3	easy job. And I am so grateful that you are working on yourself because you are making such a large impact on those kiddos's lives. I just want to encourage you with that. You genuinely have such an amazing impact. So whether you are a teacher like her or you are a stay-at-home mom, you're a working professional, I just want to
2:01.8	encourage you that working on yourself is never selfish and it can only benefit you and others in
2:08.2	your life. So thank you so much for taking time out of your day. If you guys could scooch over
2:12.1	to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating interview, that would mean the absolute world to me and our team.
2:17.0	Okay, so let's dive
2:18.1	into today's bonus episode. So how do you really build gratitude into your workout routine?
2:23.1	What does that even look like? Well, here's kind of a few ways that it can look like, but keep in
2:27.3	mind there are no rules to this. At the end of the day, it really comes down to truly feeling
