You Don’t Need Motivation…

What if I told you that The reason you have not reached your goals is NOT because you need more motivation…
.

Its not because this is not a good time for you…
.

Its not because you are not capable…
.

It’s because you define yourself by your past mistakes…
.

Lean in with me for a moment friend…
.

I want to tell you something that Changed my life and can change yours…
.

STOP ROOTING YOUR IDENTITY IN YOUR FAILURES…
.

LOOK…forever I gave up over and over and over again….to the point that I gave myself this Identity as the person who never finishes anything…
.

I was a quitter
I was lazy
I was an emotional eater
I was a self bully
I was not athletic
I was the person who never finished anything well and always ended back up where she started…
.

At least that was the tape that I said over and over and over and so guess what….
.

It became true.
.

Giving up was safe…If I gave up then It was the best way to not risk the program, or course, or challenge not working…
So the FIRST step for me in my journey that literally changed the game for me not only in my wellness but also in my life…
I started to rewrite the tape….
.

7 years ago my biggest goal in my first Challenge Group was not a weight, or a size…
.

I had those goals at the start and then 30 days in I wanted to give up…so my coach asked me WHY I was doing this…
.

and as I reflected the weigh loss wasn’t enough…I needed a bigger reason to keep going…
.

So my first glimpse of WHY I would reach my goal is I decided I no longer wanted to be a person to gave up, I wanted to be a person who finished things…
.

It scared me to even say it out loud…but it also convicted me that making that one small change would change many things…
.

It was that rock I threw in the waters of my heart and it started to create ripples…
.

One workout at a time, One Meal at a time, One shake at a time…
.

I completed my first challenge that was 90 days and the belief I had…I was the girl who finished what she started…
.

There have been many many times I still want to quite…the lie doesn’t go away…
.

you just get better at recognizing it as a lie…and then you can call out your truth…
.

after all “I can do ALL things in Christ who is my strength”…that was the first scripture I rooted my new belief in…
.

HE WANTS you to be healthy, happy, joyful, thriving and LIVING so you can honor HIM and give HIM glory friend…

This is one of the FIRST things I want my clients to do…after they set their goals to talk about how they want to feel about themselves…what do they want to be true.

The next time you want to give up….PAUSE…what is the tape saying? How can you give it a more empowering meaning?
Then WRITE IT DOWN and POST it where you can see it….

What truth will you tell yourself today?
