61 Things We're Grateful For This Week

By The Wild Women On Top Team

It’s been a huge few weeks here at Wild Women HQ.

We’ve faced some of the biggest challenges we’ve ever faced as a business, and we know we aren’t alone. Fear and panic are everywhere.

It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, and there’s been plenty of tears, frustration and sleepless nights.

But we know that what you focus on grows. So we are making a huge effort to practice what we preach and focus on the good – and there’s still a lot of good to be found.

We asked our team to tell us things they are grateful for, and together we’ve come up with a list that has helped us through some of the most challenging days.

We hope it can help you, too.

How To Motivate Yourself To Workout

14 May 2020
If you’re anything like me, the past two months has been a rollercoaster of emotions; uncertainty, fear, disbelief, astonishment, worry, disappointment, frustration, anger, acceptance, love, gratitude and, finally, a return of optimism. Through all this, it’s natural for motivation to fluctuate, and it’s definitely time to forgive yourself if your motivation to move and workout has all but evaporated. But now, with restrictions easing slowly, it’s time to re-build your routine and feel fabulous again!
