On this episode of the Mountain America Credit Union Guiding You Forward podcast, host Tasia Briggs welcomes corporate fitness trainer Brittney Taylor for an honest conversation about blocking out the noise and focusing on what truly matters—YOUR goals.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- How to filter social media fitness advice.
- Why your circle can determine your success.
- The power of knowing your “why.”
Social media can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to fitness and wellness. While it’s an incredible source for inspiration, support and advice, Brittney emphasizes that the endless tips and tricks flooding our feeds can also derail our progress. Each person’s body is different—what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another. The key is learning to filter out the noise, find credible voices that resonate with you and build a routine that fits your individual needs.
As Brittney says, “Social media is a great avenue … but take it for what it's worth, and know that the human body doesn’t respond to something in 30 days. It goes back to being a little more realistic with your goals and what works for you.” Remember that people typically share only their highlight reels while keeping struggles private. Brittney reminds us that influencers and others online are likely showing only their best moments—maintain that perspective and be kinder to yourself when making comparisons.
The people you choose to surround yourself with play a significant role in your success. Brittney reminds us that those we allow in our circle will likely influence us, which is why choosing the right people is so important. The right people will be honest with you, help you through difficult moments and stay by your side when things get hard. But it’s easy to be influenced by people who aren’t as helpful in reaching your goals. Seek support from real connections who will lift you up.
Brittney shares a touching story about a client whose dedication to working out had a deeper purpose than he originally revealed. This experience reinforced for her that she’s in the right career and making a meaningful impact. Her key message? Find the “why” behind everything you do. Whether you’re working out, saving money or pursuing any other goal, understanding the deeper reason behind your actions gives you the fuel to keep going. Watch the full podcast above to learn more!
