I wrote a whole blog post on my WHY I “started” doing these programs. But, what I want to say tonight about my WHY is this…I have learned so much thru this program & Coaching. I have learned about gratitude, finding & creating your joy & mastering your mindset and I can honestly say that if I did not have these tools, I would not be standing up straight right now. I am so broken & sad from the loss of my nephew, but, with what I have learned, I am able to function. The Compound effect taught me to make small changes on a daily basis. So each day I focus on small things that make me function. This group has taught me to create my joy. So each day I look for things that create a little joy. I create joy by pressing play because I know I will feel better. I find joy in Coaching & helping others start/continue on their journey of a healthy & fit lifestyle. I find joy in knowing I’m helping to make a positive difference in people’s lives. But most importantly, I have learned to master my mindset. Yes, I am so sad & broken & I burst into tears with no warning. But then I take a deep breath & I focus my mind on the joy James gave me. I look at our selfies we took. I think about how grateful I am that I got to spend so much time with him even though I live really far away. This program is so much more than a bikini ready body. It is about living a healthy, fit & positive lifestyle & creating the best YOU that you can create. And when life’s good & when life’s really bad happens, you will be the strongest Y?U that you can be. Y?U will have a WHY to Press Play, everyday.
