Lessons Learned

I learned so much about myself these past 2 weeks. One particular lesson is that I don’t have to be perfect!  Yep I said it.  Even though I preach it, I don’t always follow-through on my end. There is nothing wrong with striving for perfection. You should always work toward your best.  It’s when we continually beat ourselves up, when perfection doesn’t happen on the first attempt, that we label ourselves a failure.  That is wrong. 

 When I decided to and came to terms with writing a blog, I set out to write every week; Thursday Thoughts.  Writing is not a strong skill set, so I may have set myself up for “failure”.  I was on a good roll and contributed for several weeks. Then last week came, and I didn’t have a topic. As last week progressed, I began to doubt my ability to accomplish my goals of helping clients achieve wellness.  All of a sudden, I took my own advice and let go of failure. Was it a hiccup in my plan?  Yes.  Did I succumb to failure and throw in the towel?  No. I was comfortable with omitting a blog and focused on progression. 

Treading into a business is new territory. Blogging is scary. It leaves me open and vulnerable, but my belief in what I do is much stronger than any of these fears.  My motivation to stand against my fear is you; helping individuals find the strength in a healthy lifestyle.  Helping you overcome your fear of doing what’s best for you one step at a time. You are my motivation to keep progressing toward my dream.

What scares you about making changes to your lifestyle?  Are you looking solely at the unachieved outcome or the progression toward that goal?  What stops you from moving forward?  What driving force keeps you moving in the right direction? Let’s share stories.
