For the past couple of years, I have had the absolute privilege of coaching, mentoring and walking hand in hand on their journey, with some of the most incredible women who are absolutely ready to embrace the true essence of who they are while creating the life they deserve.
Welcome to 2016! I am SO freaking excited to be back after some amazing downtime with my loved ones, and celebrating the festivities over Christmas. It’s such a magical time of the year isn’t it?
At the end of every year, I love to reflect on what my biggest lessons and takeaways have been. Doing this is a really good way to remind yourself of the growth you have made. We never really take the time to do this during the year and I feel it is such an important thing to do if you truly want to unleash the best possible version of yourself.
I know that this is quite a big one for many people (including myself a few years back!) We get to December every year, and a week before Christmas we start to freak out. Why? Because we have been SO good all year with our health and fitness goals, then we get to Christmas and EEK! The food starts. Yummy, rich, sweet food.
I get it. I SO get it. The thought of opening ourselves up whole heartedly to something we don’t know the answer to is freakin scary! Why? because we don’t know whether the outcome is going to be good or bad. This is why, becoming vulnerable can be such a hard thing to do.
You have to be willing to give it all up.
Each day, you have to give up, how you think your day is supposed to look, how you think your supposed to act, how you think you have to feel, eat, say and what you think you should do. Why? Because all of the things we THINK we have to do, are always what we believe according to society.
From the day we are born, we are pure, free and present. Why? Because we haven’t experienced life. We haven’t gone through anything to lead us to think a certain way, be a certain way, feel fear, feel regret, feel guilt or unhappiness. We don’t attach meaning to anything because we don’t even know what the word meaning is.
I truly believe, that how you start your day will always determine how your day pans out. Yes at any given moment, we have the power and the choice to change the direction we are headed, whether it’s a bad attitude we need to nip in the butt quick smart, a better food choice we need to make for lunch, or that gym, yoga, meditation sesh we need to fit in today to move our body. Every second of every day is your choice, but over the past couple of years, one thing, that has become clear to me is the importance of how we begin each day.
Is it time for you to ‘get out of your own way’ ?
I hear you…
I was you for so long. But this self sabotage needs to stop.
For so many years, I sabotaged everything in my life. My health, my relationships, my friendships, my happiness, you name it girlfriend. Here is the thing..
It’s that famous, default saying and way of thinking so many of us have. We say we want to do something, and then it always follows with ‘Yea but, I just don’t know when to start’ We are ALWAYS just waiting for the perfect moment to start.
