The October 2021 Wellness Spotlight is Lisa Payton, Administrative Coordinator at the Texas A&M Contract Administration and ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor at Rec Sports. Lisa's strongest element of wellbeing: "Community, physical and social are my strengths. I enjoy socializing, motivating and empowering others. I honestly believe when you help others succeed that's your reward. That's how my mind, soul and heart is wired. My motto is when you help others you inadvertently help yourself. I have learned this to be true as a Group Fitness Instructor. It all starts with you. You have to physically move to make things happen. Being a Wellness Leader has given me the platform to cultivate a place where individuals can come together and take care of both their physical and mental needs. I have accomplished this goal on both the Texas A&M campus and in our local community." Lisa's biggest barrier to her health journey: "Balancing my personal and health journey. Both are extremely important and one can not successfully survive without the other. There has to be balance in order for me to be victorious at both." Lisa's motivation for prioritizing health and wellness: "Know others depend on me to motivate, challenge and propel their fitness journey. I want to lead by example, practice what I teach." One thing on Lisa's bucket list: "Vacation in Denver Colorado. Hike, bike or walk at a National Park that has beautiful streams, water falls, and mountains. Maybe do some yoga, take some pictures and just relax."
