Attitude of Gratitude: Begin Each Day With a Smile

September 7, 2019/in Weekly Tips

By Chad Austin


I took the following acronym from another trainer and have been living by it for years: BEDWAS.

Begin Each Day With a Smile.

When we get discouraged in our progress or hit a wall in seeing results, it’s important to remember how far we’ve come and be thankful for another day to try again. Start each day with a smile and choose 3 things for which you’re grateful. This single action will ensure the path of your day is a positive and productive one.


Tip shared by Chad Austin, who has been a leader in the fitness industry since 2003. He has experience as an athlete, coach, student, teacher, client, and trainer. He is the owner of Priority Fitness and a co-organizer for Priority Fit Camp. Each week, we publish a health and wellness tip that is shared at the Priority Fit Camp community workout. The free group class happens every Saturday at 7:50 a.m.
