The classic conversation of motivation vs. discipline…but with some new perspectives! We’re chatting today about how motivation IS something that’s incredible to have when it graces us with it’s presence…but we want to remember that it is NOT something guaranteed to you, me, or ANYONE on a regular basis. If we think of motivation more like a rare gift that we get granted to us on random days, as well as learn how to navigate the days that we DON’T have it (which will be the majority of our days here on earth lol) we can conquer ANYTHING we want to. -------------------- Follow us on IG! @maddy _cusumano @spencer_desiata @health_&_humor @dldnation --------------------- Work with us and DLDNation!

Our 50th episode! And possibly one of our favorite episodes to date! Join us as we share about a mindset shift we have made that we feel can help ANYONE live a more “neutral” life. Yes, we said neutral, not necessarily positive! Why not positive? Because negative emotions in life are valid! And we should never expect or try to force life to be sunshine and rainbows. Forcing positivity just isn’t healthy! But with the “ABC” method that we’ve learned from therapy, we’re able to remove ourselves from being “victims” of our circumstances and live a life that feels more optimistic without any faked positivity. --------------------------- Follow us! @maddy _cusumano @spencer_desiata @health_&_humor @dldnation ------------------------ Click to Work 1:1 with Spencer Click to Work 1:1 with Maddy

Confidence is something that most of us wish we had more of. A lot of the time our confidence (or lack thereof) in ourselves, our body, our skills, etc. is influenced by our fear of what OTHERS are thinking of us. We develop insecurities and convince ourselves that we are not worthy of flaunting confidence because of them! Listen in as we chat about the intentional practice that is building confidence and how to stop giving a f*ck about what OTHER PEOPLE “might” be thinking.    --------------------------- Follow us out on instagram for more entertainment & education! @maddy_cusumano @spencer_desiata @health_n_humor Inquire about working 1:1 with us to level up your health and fitness!
