Definition of Instigate:
bring about or initiate (an action or event)
This week I dare you to be the instigator in your life. Instigate a GOOD habit or routine. Start with something small like making your bed, parking farther away when you go somewhere, taking the stairs, adding veggies and fruits.
Continuous small changes add up and they don’t seem like a big leap at the time.
Be an instigator!!!
This week is about getting out of your comfort zone.
If you aren’t growing you are dying.
Learn something new this week!
Try something new you haven’t tried before!
Read a book for 10 minutes everyday!
Weekly Motto!
Just start on whatever your goal is. I can guarantee you will figure it out as you go. If you are afraid to fail, then you won’t succeed. Trying and failing still gets you closer than not trying at all.
Small steps everyday leads to big changes. Be persistent!
Be consistent!
Never Give Up!!
This week is all about recommitting to WHY you want that goal. Why do you want to (insert your goal here)? In order to do this you really have to dig deep inside yourself. It has to be something that just by thinking about it you immediately become motivated again. Willingness to do something doesn’t matter anymore because it is a have to, no questions asked.
If it is important to you, you will make time. Make the time everyday to get one small step closer to your goal!
This week’s focus will be on coming back to what is important. I LOVE my job and that’s probably why it consumes so much of my time and energy. My life cannot be my job because the truth is I am replaceable to them. Yes I am valued, but I am valued more by God and my family. Spent a lot of time yesterday on perspective and setting up my week for success. Not work success, but personal success.
What are your core values? Write them down. How can you focus on those values this week? What actions can you take this week?
We all have “mountains” in our lives. It’s how you deal with that “mountain” shows what you are made of. Success is the small efforts repeated every day. Keeping a positive attitude in everything you do no matter how big or small. Finding the good. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the negativity of the world and join them. Don’t give in. You only have this life to live so make sure you live it how you want to live it. Not by what someone is telling you how to live it.
The secret behind waking up determined so you can go to bed accomplished is planning and focusing on the right stuff. Focus on the things that matter versus trying to do a bunch of stuff that doesn’t need to be today.
We all have the same 24 hours in a day. It’s how you plan and spend that 24 hours that will have you either loving it or drowning in it. Everyone is different and you have to know your limits.
Start today by picking 1 or 2 must have tasks to be done today. Focus on getting those things done first. That’s how you succeed and feel success and accomplishment.
We all have a million things we want to do, but really think about what is the most important priorities for today and be realistic on how long it will take you.
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!
You can do anything you set your mind to BUT you can’t do everything at one time. This is something I struggle with all the time. I read a good book and have all these ideas and want to do them all right now. It usually ends up with me being overwhelmed and not getting the results I wanted. Pick 1-2 things first and master those. Then pick another couple habits. You will be amazed at how quickly you can add new habits that actually stick by doing it this way.
Book Recommendation: Extreme Ownership
How many times do you start a new nutrition program or workout program and you are crushing it the first couple weeks. Then you either don’t see the results you want or you get bored and 
you are right back to square one. We give up too soon before we see results. Real results, long term results come from being disciplined. From sticking with something once you made the decision to do it. Discipline!
Being a mom (especially with littles) is HARD! But waiting to start your fitness journey until they…. is not a good answer. If you want the energy to keep up with them, give me 30 minutes during their nap time or when they are playing by themselves to work on you and I can guarantee you will feel better. You will have the energy to run and play with them. You will enjoy those days when they are little just a little bit more. Feeling good about yourself puts you in a better mood. It makes you smile which makes everyone around you smile.
Who is ready to say YES?
