Parenting is another area where intentionality is key. I’m not just talking about being intentional with putting your kids in sports, or remembering birthdays. I’m talking about bringing all of yourself to this parenthood thing. Think about who you are as a parent, and who you want your children to become. Just like you envision yourself after reaching a fitness or nutrition goal, envision your children as adults, raising their children. What do those people look like? What do they value? Of all of the things that my parents gave me, the things that I remember the most are the examples they set. We need to embrace being parents and being intentional with the precious gift of parenthood.
