Teach & Lead by Example
Wednesday February 23, 2011
We all know MizFit! Amazing Carla who teaches & leads by example! It is hard to pick out just one post that I want to chat about with Carla or MizFit as we know her because she has so many inspiring ones.
Did you all read her recent post, I want you to hold me? She has an adorable pic of her daughter, Tornado as she calls her, with a "I am my own SUPERHERO" shirt on.
Part of her post says this: When do we lose the ability to make ourselves vulnerable & plainly state what we need. When do we veer away from I want you hold me & toward feeling as though we must do everything on our own and/or expect others to guess what we need?
Carla, not only writes about health & fitness BUT she also writes about balance and play and life and love and being your authentic self.... BEING "UNAPOLOGETICALLY MYSELF".... as MizFit writes! If you want to read about all she has done - and it is A LOT - click HERE. She has more credits to her name!!!!
Her cool words of wisdom below!
I am sharing a person in our blog world that LEADS AND TEACHES by example! Her daughter is learning about health, fitness, loving herself, living life in many fun ways just by being with her mom.
I never will forget the post Carla wrote about how Tornado, her daughter, picked up her little box of toys & said how strong she was to her mom - I can't remember the exacts of it but it was something like that. Carla, you can correct me. Tornado also flexes her muscles & belly dances & has playouts and a day in the life of ....
I think the reason I started this post, not only because Carla inspires so many BUT she does lead & teach by example.
In a world where child obesity as well as adult obesity is on the rise, we need to take a hard look at what we are doing & what we are saying that these children see and hear!!!
The food we bring in the house & put on the table, the way we move .. or don't move, the way we talk to ourselves & others.. the children all hear & see this! I wrote a post back when titled The Children Will Listen & See. You can check it out at that link.
Carla not only leads & teaches for us but she does for the children too!
Check her out!!!
Thoughts on any and/or all of the above.. what are you doing to teach & lead by example?
PS: If you want a shirt or sweatshirt for you or your kiddos with one of her great sayings on it, check out her store HERE. Maybe we all should be wearing one of those.

Thanks for sharing her inspiration! We do lead by example and our children are a mirror reflection of ourselves.

I love MzFit!
I try to lead by example more than I teach... I stay active, eat right and never preach to or at anyone. If they want to feel and act like I do, they'll ask

I love those t-shirts. I am going to have to buy a couple of them. They are so powerful. I Just started reading her blog and the first post I read was Andrews story and it was amazing. I have added her blog to my daily reads. I am so glad you are sharing blogs that are important to you. They are all so interesting and educational.
