Ep123 | The Power of Self-Reflection: Identifying Habits that Serve or Hinder Your Goals with Erica Groomes
Erica Groomes (Coach E) is the co-founder of Get Mo Phit, an online and in-person personal training company that focuses on both physical fitness and mindset training. She discusses how Get Mo Phit helps clients through self-reflection to identify their current habits and desires, and takes steps to craft a life that helps them become their best selves.
Coach E describes how Get Mo Phit encourages clients to reflect on what's going on in their lives and how their current habits are serving or not serving them. The goal is to help clients identify who they want to become and what tangible steps they need to take to create that desired life. This process starts with mindset work like journaling before integrating physical training.
Many clients initially reach out about specific physical goals like weight loss or looking a certain way. Coach E emphasizes shifting the mindset to see fitness as a lifestyle rather than just physical. Through training, clients learn habits like patience and self-love that can apply to other areas of life.
Coach E discusses how her own difficult relationship experience lowered her self-confidence and drove her to seek longevity over temporary relief. With support from her friend Morgan, she immersed herself in mindset work like podcasts, journaling, and reflection during physical training. This transformed her mentally and physically.
Get Mo Phit incorporates weekly check-ins to discuss both physical progress and clients' current mindsets/lives. The goal is to help clients recognize any habits hindering other goals and identify root causes, not just symptoms. Supporting clients' mindset transformations through recommended resources is key since making lifestyle changes can be difficult without like-minded support systems.
Coach E closes by sharing how immersing her mother in Get Mo Phit's approach helped her lose 40 pounds, and improve her health and confidence levels. Small, consistent steps integrating mindset and physical training can make a big difference, especially with accountability support from professionals like Coach E.
