Not gonna lie..

Not gonna lie. Just set down to work on motivating my challengers on this long ride home with NO sense of direction. I've felt so overwhelmed all week with the hurricane & evacuation.

On top of that, one of the super dedicated women on my team of Beachbody coaches' house was majorly flooded during the hurricane :(. And I'm just so broken hearted for her.

It's in the moments like these that I have to stop and think WHY am I a Beachbody coach. That's where I find my motivation to keep going and my direction.

There are so many reasons, but this time I'm just going to focus on ONE.

ME.

Yup, me!!! Wait what?  There's tons of people who need help here. Not to mention you have two kids and a hardworking husband.  And your own house to remove boards from and check for damage.

Yes. I intend to take care of all of that. And help as much as I can. By nature, I am a caregiver. I give and give because I LOVE doing it. I do not get a rush of excitement at the idea of taking over corporate America. I feel that rush when I make someone's day better.

But you know what?

I can't do that if I don't take care of me!

When life gets tough you HAVE to stop and take care of your body. Even if that means putting other things to the side for a little while.

Don't worry...it'll get done.

BUT FIRST

1) Sleep
2) Eat QUALITY food
3) Get some exercise (cleaning up your yard after the storm totally counts btw)!

Am I enough?

       “Am I enough?”   This question plagues my day to day.   Every time I take on some new and daunting task, a series of questions that all come back to this plague my mind.   If I let it, the fear paralyzes me and I stop.   I never move any further.   I have to be willing to accept that I alone am not enough.   It is only then that I am able to move forward.   You see, for me, the truth is ingrained in my faith—I alone am not enough.   I can only get through the (at times seemingly absurd) tasks I have been called to if I trust in Christ to carry me through them.   2nd Corinthians 12: 9-10 tells us "And He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Chri...

My Happiness Project

As I sit here reading "The Happiness Project," I am so overwhelmed by just how much I needed this book. Have any of you read this book?! What did you think of it? Posted by Allison Valree Federico on  Tuesday, November 1, 2016 When I sat down to begin reading, I heard the kids playing upstairs...and I was worried about it.... "What is my son getting into now?" (It's always, always always something!) "Are they going to get hurt?" "What if a neighbor stops by and realizes that I'm letting my kids play without helicoptering them? What will she think?" But the truth of the matter is, she is almost 5 and he is 2, and really they can play alone for 10 minutes while I read, and (as long as they don't burn the house down), most messes will be cleanable.... But the point is, I started out with the wrong mindset to begin! Just 5 minutes into my reading, I already see that! My kids are LAUGHING. And having FUN tog...
