5 Tip to Staying Positive

I think its pretty safe to say not everything will always go your way. This is how we GROW! However, these lessons in life can totally suck and often really sting...no matter how hard we try to stay on top of our goals, our priorities, our focuses, sometimes things get a little derailed.

5 Tips to Staying Positive when your feeling a little burnt!:

1. List out 5 things you are grateful for in relation to the issue. Accomplishment and your "why" are very important here!

2. Be Solution based, not Problem Oriented. Find the Lesson...Where did you take a wrong turn? Where did the situation turn a little sour? Did your ego take over? Were you rushing instead of planning? Find the problem, create a solution gameplan for NEX TIME (sorry, problem is already created, can't turn back, must push forward!)

3. Don't Play the Victim! Its your life, you are fully responsible! Harsh, right?! But very true. I have always really struggled with finding where I went wrong in a situation and found it sooo much easier to just BLAME everyone else for my own misfortunes. ALWAYS, ALWAYS take 100% responsibility...you will be able to move forward faster.

4. Move forward...don't look back, we aren't going that way (at least I hope your not!) Find positive people to chat with and take a DEEP BREATH. Avoid in the moment decisions and avoid lashing out (trust me, it doesn't work) Using the solution you developed from #2 and the driving force from #1, commit to both feet on the ground. JUMP IN, GO FOR IT...AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. The faster you are moving, the harder you are going to fall...maybe this is a process of weeding out the weak and showing the elite.

5. SMILE. SING. LAUGH. You seriously CANNOT be mad when your smiling. It makes your heart light and helps you to think straight...friends are great for this!

Week 2 Accountability!

HALF WAY POINT ACCOUNTABILTY PHOTO!! I'm still in the game!  Monday will be week 3 of my second round of 21 Day Fix

For YEARS I went through life WISHING for that body I wanted so badly. After struggling for a VERY long time with my weight and my self esteem, trying literally EVERYTHING there is for weightloss (yes, the gym even with a trainer, diets, pills, shake programs, cleansing programs, gimmicks...you name it) I finally gave into my fate of always being unhappy. I felt defeated and frustrated. I figured if I couldn't ge...t there I might as well eat like shit, party too much, drink too much, sleep very little and "enjoy" myself. A downward spiral into false happiness.

 

THEN...along came my beautiful Brodilynn! So tiny, so perfect, my whole world. I looked at her a promised I wasn't going to put myself down anymore. Enough is enough and I needed to make a change...for HER and for me. I didn't want her to grow up thinking it was ok to feel like i did about myself, I didn't want her to think that giving up was EVER an option. I wanted her to be proud of me and learn to treat her body like GOLD. For that day forward I put myself into a success state of mind. I ordered a fitness program i could do at home while she was sleeping (i totally thought it was going to be another gimmick but it was really my last resort). I created a "challenge group" with a few friends so i could hold myself accountable and away i went! I lost 37 pounds in 90 days! I felt freakin amazing, I was proud, I was energetic, I was a better wife and mom, I had become everything I knew I could be! 
Trusting in my process is the first step! Every month since that day I have started a new group...not only for myself but for others. I know there are people out there who feel just like i did and I know how awful it feels. I want to be that light at the end of the tunnel for others...that's why I do what I do! I want them to say because we did it together they didn't give up.

Its been an insane journey for sure...never easy, but very much worth it on sooo many levels. The cool thing about this...YOUR NOT ALONE. Every single day there is a support system there to keep you going...all you have to do is START!!! SERIOUSLY...just START. If you don't know where to start...that's where I come in. I help you, I guide you, I encourage you, and run beside you EVER SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY. I BELIEVE IN YOU!
