The Power In Finding Your People
Jun 06, 2022
Accountability
Have you ever been stuck in a bit of a rut? Maybe feeling like you know what to do but just lack the motivation to do it? I have definitely gone through phases of my life where I was more inspired to do things than others. One of the things that has always helped pull me through is the thought of being accountable to someone other than just myself. That’s why I think programs like Weight Watchers do well for a period of time because they help keep people accountable to their goals. It is human nature to behave differently if you know someone else is watching.
The Power of Community
One of the other things that can also be very powerful is a community and a group of people focused on the same goals. Ultimately, this is what we are trying to help create both in our practice and in the online world. We want to help people reach their goals and to help them create a mindset for success. Knowing that you are not alone and having interdependence can be instrumental in the outcome of your efforts.
I can remember during one of the movement challenges that we hosted last year, there was a day that I didn’t get in the required movement to fulfill the challenge. I was ready to start winding down and then I realized that I needed to complete 20 mins of movement. Had it not been for the challenge, I would have skipped over it. Just knowing that I had to share what I did for the day pushed me to keep my promise to myself and then being able to share it felt amazing. Thank you for that!
Why now?
There’s never a perfect time to start something new. You can always find an excuse and you can always say that now is not the right time.
So Let’s try a different approach.
Let’s start something knowing that it doesn’t have to be perfect. Let’s try something new - even though you may not be great at it. Consider joining a community, even if it’s something you’re not familiar with.
Whether you prefer to do things at your own pace, need motivation, or are looking for a step-by-step plan, you will be able to find an option that suits you and where you are at. It could be as simple as joining an Online Challenge, signing up for a membership (read more on my Longevity Academy membership here), or investing in private High Performance Coaching for 1 on 1 tailored-to-you support.
There is always a way to help YOU move from where you are NOW to where you WANT to be in the future. Promise me you won't give up hope, and that you'll break the cycle of telling yourself it's impossible to feel great again.
