❤️The holiday always brings a WARM joy to my heart, because for years I’ve had the luxury of truly making an impact in other people’s life!
This is ultimately what saved my life.
😓For years, I was unhappy. I felt like I didn’t matter. I felt like I wasn’t “worth it.”
I allowed the people around me to bring me down and just soaked in the negative. It wasn’t until I opened Over-Achieve and saw God’s true calling for me that my gift 📖was helping others….
That I began to have a new vision and started feeling like I was making an IMPACT 👍🏽in everyone’s life. Not only did this break me out of my shell, but it gave me a sense of hope.
It got me thinking that I DO have a calling, a niche, a gift that I can use to change lives. I used this as momentum to build, grow and change thousands of lives in my community, which is what this picture represents.
Each Thanksgiving, I would have my members write their NEXT YEAR GOALS 💯 on slips of paper and hang on our gym Christmas Tree 🎄…sure, something maybe simple and pointless to you….
But I would go home that night and read EVERY one and take it to heart. My wife remembers me analyzing them each, and some of my favorites were:
“I want to be able to bounce quarters off my booty next year😂”
“I want to have one ab visible 😂”
We all have goals we want to accomplish, and we all spend the holidays trying to scrounge up what we want to do in the New Year….
But 📣what many forget is one thing that can be the KEY 🔑to helping you reach them….
💓That person behind the scenes at home reading and planning your next move for you!
If you need help moving into the New Year on the foot you want, send me a message today!
But most importantly, take time today to relax and spend time with loved ones and eat some AMAZING food, guilt-free!
You deserve it!
Many of us with nutrition and fitness goals struggle on Thanksgiving or other food-based holidays. We might fear overeating and attempt to restrict ourselves at our Thanksgiving meal, or perhaps aim to reduce calories in the days leading up to the holiday. Alternatively, we might take a more relaxed approach and eat whatever on Thanksgiving.
I'm not one to tell you what to do here — how you choose to approach your nutrition on Thanksgiving is entirely up to you.
Almost ALL of us have struggled in the last year and have been dealing with certain things that could use some happiness and upbeat acts of kindness.
There will come a day when we look back and wish we could spend one more holiday with a grandparent, parent, sibling, child, dog....so don't take today for granted!
A great mentor of mine had a great post this week....
Happy Thanksgiving!
