Stephenson Strength Therapy

A few months ago I started dancing. That silly in the kitchen, around the house, not a care in the world kind of dancing. It’s not to the beat (most of the time there isn’t even music playing) and it surely isn’t pretty, but it’s full of joy.... Swipe for a glimpse of what I look like on the daily at home. If you ask my husband, he’ll say it’s something he never expected from my seemingly reserved self but it’s not something he can picture me without anymore. It started during a time of my life where there was a lot of change for the better, and I genuinely felt happy. And wouldn’t you know, dancing it out made me feel even more so. That uninhibited feeling once you get past thinking of how silly you might look is wonderful. I think what I’m getting at in this long winded post is to encourage yourself let loose, laugh more (even at yourself), dance when no one (and others) are looking, and don’t worry about what others will think of you. Your life isn’t yours if you always care what others think. ^ Read that line again. What’s something you would do if you didn’t care what others would think? #builtformore #stephensonstrengththerapy | #laughmore #mindsettransformation #duespaid #womenwholift #faithandfitness #thefraservalley #downtownabbotsford #explorecanada @ British Columbia See more

Celebrate what your body can do instead of obsessing over what it looks like. Your appearance is not all you have to offer the world. Once you put your thoughts towards what your body can do, you’ll be surprised how quickly the physical can change, as well as how much you learn to respect and love your body.... You are strong. You are beautiful. You are worthy. You are built for more. #builtformore #stephensonstrengththetapy | #selfcare #mindset #womenwholift #pullups #abbotsfordpersonaltrainer #abbotsford #thefraservalley #downtownabbotsford #wholistichealth See more

Can barely contain the excitement I have for the year ahead! For the last couple years we have made the point to sit down and reflect on the year passed, and write down goals for the year ahead. This year, we are going a step forward and writing out the main goals daily, affirming them and keeping them top of mind.... If one of your goals includes focusing on health and wellness, through the form of fitness, and you need a helping hand along the way, I hope you know who to call! #builtformore #stephensonstrengththerapy | #wholistichealth #abbotsfordpersonaltrainer #abbotsfordpersonaltraining #thefraservalley See more

Lacing up for 2021 #happynewyear

Being active gives you more than just physical gains. Being active brings me joy, brings out the best in me, and makes me kinder to others. Being active is also more than lifting weights in the gym.... You can get joy out of walking, hiking, riding your bike, going to a yoga class, or just being on your feet running around the kids all day. Whatever it takes to make you feel good while moving your body, pursue that. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. In order for something to stick, it has to be sustainable. If you don’t love lifting weights (and you’ve given it a fair shot), chances are you won’t stick with it in the long run. What brings out the best in you / brings you joy? I get joy out of lifting weights and getting outdoors - in the winter this often results in snowshoeing with the hubby.
