Some of you have been commenting about my changing appearance and I’m super grateful for your support.
BUT this isn’t a post about weight loss.
This is a post about the lessons I’ve learned from my journey so far that might help and inspire you in life and business.
π TAKE WHAT YOU KNOW TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW π
This is a one liner that mini me uses (I presume it’s one from figuring out problems from school). I’d been trying to get fit for a little while but I wasn’t quite hitting it.
It was time to – take what I already know to find out the answers I was saying that I didn’t know.
I know business and I decided to implement lots of principles from my professional life into my journey.
β I KNOW how I work best. I know my personality and I know the things that stop me and hold me back. My self awareness is very high. I know I get bored easily so one sort of excercise wasn’t going to cut it for me. I know that it’s easier not to when it comes to working out. I know how to manage my time and motivate myself.
β‘ I know I work well with an overarching structure but freedom to be creative within that structure
β’ I know that I have all or nothing tendencies
I can work with that self awareness and implement it into life as well as business (that was an epiphany π‘ and a lightbulb moment).
π PLANNING π
I work best with an overarching plan which is variable and takes into account my need to try new things and different environments. A very steady routine doesn’t suit me.
π YOU CAN’T BE HALF ARSED – YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR ARSE IN π
I’d tried to implement lifestyle changes last year but I was totally half arsed. I was therefore wasting my time. I’d see little improvements but nothing that would motivate me and I would soon give up.
Which moves us nicely into……
π PATIENCE π
Not my strongest virtue BUT it’s important in life and business that you keep showing up (full arsed) and doing your thing). It takes time. It’s not starting point to goal destination in seconds.
π THAT WHICH IS TRACKED WILL BE IMPROVEDπ
When you don’t lie to yourself, when you write things down, when you set goals and track your action you make progress.
π CELEBRATE HOW FAR YOU’VE COME π
I can see my data, I can see that stats and in my fitness journey I can also see a physical representation of how far I’ve come.
Look at ways you can implement that within your business and life.
We never give ourselves credit for how far we’ve come.
π YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO π
Once you rip away the stories and the bullshit you’re telling yourself you are just as able and capable as anyone else.
π MINDSET IS THE BIGGEST GAME CHANGER – ALWAYS π
As Henry Ford said – whether you think you can or you think you can’t – YOU’RE RIGHT.
I hope there’s a few little lessons in there that can support you today.
This isn’t about weight loss.
This isn’t about “eeee look at how well I’m doing”
I hope this will inspire you to be happy to accept where you are right now and know that you’re reality (even over a relatively short space of time) can be incredibly different.
Big Love, Emma πππ xxx
