Embracing the optimist inside of me

I find myself doing this entirely too often and that WILL stop!  I will think in positives and large numbers.  I will think in terms of how can I make this work, not this will never work and I will treat myself as kindly as I treat others!  I will no longer make limiting statements nor confine myself to thinking that I am not good enough or smart enough to be successful!  I will let the true me shine through, embrace the optimist that truly is inside of me and I will be the very best me that I can be!  

I see this day in and day out with the people I coach.  They make small changes and in no time at all, they achieve their health goals! Why not do something for yourself? Commit to doing one thing to improve your health.  Stick with it for 90 days.  You will be amazed at the results!  

Stop making excuses & just do things

Excuses are nothing more than stories in my head ~ they are not the truth. They are simply thoughts that I believed to be true at one point or another, and I have continued to carry them with me. In order to make room in my mind for new ideas, new thoughts, and new ways of being, I must EMPTY out those non-supporting beliefs and stories in order to make room for a brighter future! I can make excuses or I can have results; I can't have both. 

K.I.S.S.

It's true, isn't it, and so incredibly simple.  Who knew it would be so simple?  So in your face, why one God's green earth didn't you see it long ago, simple!  The true meaning of K.I.S.S..  Keep It Simple Stupid.

Funny, though, how many times I have scrolled past that very photo on my Facebook timeline and other than being drawn to the beach photo, I barely gave it a glace.

Today, I did.  I'm glad.  It's a real ah-ha moment for me.  I'm printing it off and putting it on the wall.  I'm writing it on my white board of motivational quotes (mostly my own, if you read them there'd be a big question mark over your head, they are pretty off the wall, but meaningful to me and it's my wall, ha!) and I am going to live it.

Simple, I can do that.

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and doggonnit people like me!

Sometimes I don't feel like I am good enough, or smart enough, or pretty enough (oh man, that's a common one for me, how about you?).  It seems I am not growing my business as fast as someone else, I'm not to my ultimate physical goal yet.  Everyone is ahead of the me in the game of life!  Do you ever feel that way?  

Well please don't!  Remember this:  

Comparison is the fast track to misery.  We are all on a different journey…there are going to be some people who skyrocket to success, and there are going to be others that sit back and wait for things to happen. But you ~ YOU have your own goals and your own path and what matters is that you FOCUS on what you need to do to make YOUR dreams come true!! The only time you should look to the left, or to the right is to CELEBRATE others, LEARN from them, and even help them, but NEVER to compare! Live by YOUR values…run your OWN race…and by all means, if someone tells you that you can’t do something ~ PROVE THEM WRONG! 

This is YOUR year!
