You are not a failure. It's a lie too many of us believe and we look for reasons to justify it. We come up with things like we aren't talented enough, we aren't strong enough, we aren't intelligent enough, or business savvy or fill in the blank. We believe we aren't enough.
But then, we see people that break out of that mold, don't we? People that aren't as talented as we are, that maybe aren't as strong or intelligent and we see them blaze a trail of success.
You have everything you need to succeed at what you are passionate about! The two biggest mistakes I see people making are:
1. Not having their own goals. They are looking at other people's goals or what they believe would gain them respect instead of pursuing what they are passionate about.
In your health journey, this might mean you have a goal set to look like another person. You might go through cycles of starving yourself or working out extensively trying to hit a goal that ultimately you don't even care about. What you crave is the respect or admiration that you see that other person receiving. When you set a true a achievable goal for yourself, there is joy and excitement in the process that spurs you on!
2. Negative inner dialogue. I see so many women that use fear and shame to try and motivate themselves. They stand in front of the mirror and berate themselves. They spend time telling themselves they aren't good enough.
People that succeed and reach their goals believe they can! They see their potential. They speak truth over themselves. They surround themselves with people that uplift, inspire, and encourage them!
What we think and say, transforms into our belief system. What we believe about ourselves directs our actions. Is it no wonder that we so often fall short? Knowing ourselves, setting true goals, and building belief and confidence instead of shame and fear is what we need!
Forever is composed of nows. From the thoughts we think to the actions we take, what we are building is happening in the now! Make sure you are building toward a future that you want! ❤️

Yesterday, at Super Saturday, Sagi ended his very inspiring message making us chant this this several times. Each time you could feel the determination growing, excited energy filled the room and you could see belief shining from people's faces. Belief that their story mattered. Belief that they could reach their goals. Belief that they can make a difference in this world.
Losing a pound or 100 pounds, inspiring one person or a million people, it all starts with believing you can, deciding you WILL, and consistently doing the work! Motivation won't carry you through, that comes and goes. You have to decide, commit, and succeed! That starts with a mindset of, " I can do all things!" When the negative thoughts start to invade, reply with," I CAN! I WILL! I MUST!"

I got a message from one of my challengers last night telling me excitedly that she is seeing true growth in her life, not simply in her health journey. She signed up for guitar lessons, she's feeling courageous, she is hopeful and excited about her life and it started with little successes in group! I had the same experience. It was a spark that set my heart on fire for life again. The truth I was taking in was adding to my physical health but more importantly it was showing me just a small sample of what my own potential!

Setting goals and achieving them, even small ones, encouraged me and made me excited to set new goals and bigger ones!

I had another conversation with another challenge today who was sharing with me that she has discovered that she actually loves her own body after years of being at war with it because it wasn't the cultural ideal. The group had helped her to really think about what SHE thought was attractive, what HER goals truly were and she was able to throw out the lies that were holding her back.

For some the group is a place to come record their work and progress, for some it's a place to connect with other women, for others accountability or encouragement or a haven where truth is spoken over them as they sort through their past.

We all enjoy different aspects of it but it helps us all GROW, it helps us reach our goals when we are surrounded by others setting and working towards their goals. We inspire each other and propel each other forward!

I just found out that Beachbody has put the All Access Challenge Pack on sale for $160! That is EVERY workout that Beachbody offers, everything new that comes out this year, the portion control container system, the nutrition plan, and a months worth of Shakeology for the same price as a one workout challenge pack! Guys, this is a crazy deal!!

We start our April group on Monday where we will be focusing on self worth and recognizing self-limiting beliefs. This is something I think will serve every woman in our country right now. We simply believe a lot of things about ourselves that aren't true, that hold us back, that make us fear, and cause us to feel shame.
​
So, if you have been thinking about joining us, take advantage of this crazy deal, show up on Monday and let's do this! We can improve the world so much when set about believing the truth! If we want to empower the next generation of women, we have to empower ourselves first! Message me to claim your spot!

This is the first thing we need to acknowledge anytime we start anything new! The first draft of a book is not the one that gets published. Championships aren't truly won on game day, they are won during practice where failure has happened again and again.

When it comes to our health journey, the major problem is that most of us feel shame. We feel shame about how we look, what we eat, and any perceived failure heightens that feeling. Our society has told us that our worth is tied to our appearance and that, my friends, is a complete lie!

Our bodies are the most important thing we have, they allow us to connect with people, to create in the physical realm anything we can dream, they are incredible no matter what shape they are in! It should be a joy and a privilege to care for them! (as we would an expensive car, right?! Our bodies are worth so much more! )

​Our health journey is one of self discovery and it's hard at times to face our issues but it is so rewarding! Our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health are tied to each other. When we start working on our bodies, we hit other issues. We find out that we are eating because we are self soothing, or because we're lonely, or unhappy. We have to face each discovery and tend to the wound before we can move forward, but the result is a LIFE ( not just a body) that we can delight in! Life is too short not to live an amazing life! So stop being discouraged that first draft sucked! Of course it did!

Instead of looking at yourself as a failure, delve into self discovery! Why did you binge eat? Why did you stop working out? Why are you feeling shame? Dig, discover, grow! If you need help sorting it out, message me! I'll ask you questions until we get to the root of it!

The amazing thing about pursuing your health is that all roads lead to fulfilling your potential as a human being. We have so much untapped potential, each of us is capable of so much more than we think, and when we start believing that we are worth the time and effort, amazing things happen! More than a healthy body, I want you to discover THAT about yourself because it will change your life!

So write the first draft and keep writing until your masterpiece comes to life! Stop worrying about what society thinks of you and focus on what is true!
