✨ New vibes! ✨
I'm ditching the perfection and focusing on consistency - I've decided I'm just going to show up however it looks and whenever it happens. I'm going to stop stressing about what I might not be doing right on social media, who I haven't told what, who I haven't gotten a chance to respond back to yet and I'm gonna show up as myself, using instagram as my own personal diary and whoever wants to follow along will. I'm so tired of stressing over what someone says is the right thing to do. So here's to being authentic and sharing whatever the hell we want!

In setting the stage for success with self-discipline, you MUST 👉🏻 DEFINE your PILLARS:
🪴 Choose 3-5 areas you want to increase self-discipline (fitness, finances, productivity, routine, assertiveness, mindfulness, life obstacles, etc)

Remember to be realistic AND specific, your goal is to make it obtainable so you can be consistent.

02/02/2024

Let's identify your WHY and your why

Ask these questions to help get started:
🪴What drives you, personally or professionally?
🪴 What areas or goals do you want self-discipline to help you achieve?

🤔 What's a big WHY and a little why?
👉🏻 A BIG WHY is your entire life's purpose, the driving force or core values. It's the WHY that motivates you to get out of bed and actively pursue your goals and helps to find your purpose. The bigger picture. The root cause to a problem.

👉🏻 Little why is the immediate reasons we do things like, why are you studying for an exam or promotion today? (get good grades, to learn new material, please professors, parents or boss, etc). It's helpful for short term goals but can distract from the bigger picture. The symptom or explanation of the problem.

Take time today and write down your WHYS. Remember to keep them visible as a consent reminder.
👇🏻Feel free to share below so we can root you on!👇🏻

🤔 Imagine - being in control of your time, habits, and goals as well as your emotions, mental and physical well-being.

Take a moment to think about what your life might look like with self-discipline?

For the next few weeks, in the spirit of valentine's day, the best LOVE we can show ourselves is ACCOMPLISHING DREAMS and HAPPINESS by doing the things we wish someone else could do for us. We're going to learn how to flip the current narrative into one that ALIGNS with your lifestyle and MOTIVATION that can help get you closer to the finish line.

What's does SELF-DISCIPLINE get you? good question!
For me personally:
* it made me accept the vulnerability needed to fully embrace this concept
* it got me through hormone treatments and got me to an amazing loving partner and 2 gorgeous kids who are unbelievably healthy and happy!
* it brought me a healthier way of thinking and being
* gave me higher self-reliance and self-esteem
* it reduced stress and anxiety
* improved mental, physical and emotional well-being
* improved boundaries
* greater self-awareness
* better emotional control
* increased my adaptability
* it brought energy, motivation, courage, stubbornness from backing down from the healthier side, and more to help me work with therapist's and Dr's and medical professionals!
And so much more....
👇🏻 Share below some things you struggle with that you're hoping this months content of "Self-discipline" will bring to light and help encourage you to get better at.
🍻 We want to encourage you to keep going! But it takes vulnerability to fully embrace self-discipline.

💭A good reminder....
It is never pretty but always important and necessary and you have all the support you need to obtain it!!

Good morning, 👋🏻👋🏻
Here is this week's, update. We've been sick what seems like months, and I haven't been able to exercise, do laundry or finish dishes all in one day....

🏆 The win for this week is that I didn't let my body rule my mind and decide what were doing.... I decided I'm still going to eat right, even if I can't exercise like I was, and I'm still losing. 🥇

There are many reasons as to WHY I'm losing weight, but I want to hear from you.
Share below some of the struggles and wins you had this week.

* We are not here to compare to each other. We are here to support each other, through - our own individual journey! Be kind and respectful but also be courageous!! 😍 You can do this! You're worth it!

Are you fitting in or belonging?

Belonging:

Being accepted, appreciated and valued for who you are.

Living your true authentic self.

Does not require you to change.

Being in an environment you want to be in.

Feeling of satisfaction, gratitude and wellbeing.

Fitting in:

Being accepted for being like others / others expectations.

Being somewhere where your authentic self isn’t valued.

Requires you to change / hide your true self. Being in an environment you (think) you want to be in.

Feeling of loneliness inside.

⚠️ Vulnerable post!! 👇🏻👇🏻
Okay, so every Monday I'm going to post my 💪🏻 weight-loss data. It's my check-in with myself and also to help me stay accountable for my actions or.... Lack of said action. 🤦‍♀️
If there are any others that would enjoy a weight-loss partner and would like support, comment below your goals, needs or desires AND how I can help. Remember, we're doing this stuff alone anyway, so might as well take advantage of the support around us, right?!

What are my weight related - health goals for the year.
#1. New year, New me.... In a, well, not so stereotypical way. I was pregnant two years BACK-TO-BACK and my body hated it.... Understandably. But this year is my turn.... I'm fixing the damage the pregnancy's did (body parts, teeth, emotions, physical appearance, mental health and much much more). One thing at a time!!
#2. I want to lose 💯 lbs by Bear's 1st birthday. 100lbs in one year. I have 47 more days (April 1st, 2023) and about 25 more lbs to go.
#3. After the weight loss, my focus will turn to toning my body up and tighten my skin back up.
#4. So I can wear my engagement ring again 😂💍
#5. My final ending weight goal is 145lbs - which at this very moment, is 37.6lbs away.... Which is extremely achievable!! Once at, 145lbs I would be losing, 117lbs since walking out of the hospital with baby Bear. Work hard, play hard, then work even harder and play even harder!!

During my journey, I'll share a little about how everything is going and my progress.... Progress, not perfection!

Note.
The picture is a screen shot of my Renpho smart scale. A normal scale is about $18 and this smart scale was $25 on Amazon.com The price isn't much different BUT the details are so GOOD! Helps you to understand the difference in fats and gives you a range you should be in for your specific needs and requirements, gives you definitions for each category and the healthy range.
This is not a paid advertisement, but let me tell you.... I used to pay out the nose for a health coach and the magic machine (😂) but technology has come a long way and I have the collected tools from coaching to guide me through my journey, even though I fall sometimes, this keeps me accountable.
I, needed the extra details to keep me between the lines. Hope this helps! 😍

Mental health check-in questions for yourself.

What is taking up most of my headspace at the moment?
Do I struggle to keep my daily routines?
What am I doing today that gives me pleasure?
Have I been doing any physical activity lately?
Do I have problems sleeping?
Have I eaten regularly and healthily, and do I drink enough water?
Am I withdrawing socially?
Do I have uncontrollable emotions?
Am I losing interest in activities that I enjoy?
