‘You are not your age,
Nor the size of clothes you wear,
You are not a weight,
Or the color of your hair.
You are not your name,
Or the dimples in your cheeks,
You are all the books you read,
And all the words you speak.
You are your croaky morning voice,
And the smiles you try to hide,
You’re the sweetness in your laughter,
And every tear you’ve cried,
You’re the songs you sing so loudly,
When you know you’re all alone.
You’re the places that you’ve been to,
And the one that you call home,
You’re the things that you believe in,
And the people that you love,
You’re the photos in your bedroom,
And the future you dream of,
You’re made of so much beauty,
But it seems that you forgot,
When you decided that you were defined,
By all the things you’re not.’
Erin Hanson - Not.

Just remember this, you are perfect in your individuality and authenticity. Go and grab the day and make it yours, there is no second chance. Live the life you’ve always dreamed of and rejoice in who you are!

Pure Pilates LLC. specializes in HIIT as part of the classical method of Pilates! Originally termed Contrology, Pilates works specifically on control, precision and flow to create an amazing HIIT effect at our studio!

Vigorous exercise, especially high-intensity interval training, is one of the best ways to refresh the body’s energy systems. It works in two ways: mitophagy clears out old, damaged mitochondria, and mitochondrial biogenesis builds new ones. This dual effect boosts cellular energy production, improving both physical and cognitive performance over time. High-intensity interval training is so effective because it creates metabolic stress, which increases lactate levels. That lactate sends a signal to activate PGC-1α, a protein that helps grow more mitochondria. Over time, having more mitochondria makes your muscles better at using oxygen, managing blood sugar, and reducing oxidative stress. The best part? You don’t need long workouts to get these benefits. Even short bursts of intense exercise can improve your metabolism, protect against muscle loss as you age, reduce inflammation, and boost your overall health. #metabolichealth #mitochondria #hiit

My research and my life have taught me that regret is one of our most powerful emotional reminders that reflection, change, and growth are necessary. In our research, regret emerged as a function of empathy. And, when used constructively, it’s a call to courage and a path toward wisdom.

One of the most powerful lines about regret comes from George Saunders’s 2013 commencement address at Syracuse University.

Saunders talked about how when he was a child, a young girl was teased at his school and, although he didn’t tease her and even defended her a little, he still thought about it. He said:

“So here’s something I know to be true, although it’s a little corny, and I don’t quite know what to do with it: What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness. Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering, and I responded . . . sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly.”

The idea that regret is a fair but tough teacher can really p**s people off. “No regrets” has become synonymous with daring and adventure, but I disagree. The idea of “no regrets” doesn’t mean living with courage, it means living without reflection. To live without regret is to believe we have nothing to learn, no amends to make, and no opportunity to be braver with our lives.

In our work, we find that what we regret most are our failures of courage, whether it’s the courage to be kinder, to show up, to say how we feel, to set boundaries, to be good to ourselves, to say yes to something scary. Regret has taught me that living outside my values is not tenable for me.

Regrets about not taking chances have made me braver. Regrets about shaming or blaming people I care about have made me more thoughtful.

Sometimes the most uncomfortable learning is the most powerful.
