How to be ALL IN on yourself

I’ve been thinking about this idea.

Of being ALL IN.

Being fully committed.

No matter what.

Even when things aren’t looking good, or they’re hard, or they even seem impossible.

Staying the course.

And not giving up until I get to where I want to be.

And, even deeper, until I AM who I want to be.

That’s what being ALL IN means to me.

And I know that I haven’t always been ALL IN on doing the things that are important to me.

5 Ways to Thrive Through the Holiday Food Frenzy

So, temptation has arrived.

Goodies of all sorts are available and waiting for you.

And you want to dive in.

But you don’t want to.

And you want to indulge and let loose.

But you don’t really want to.

Part of you loves this time of year, and wants to try all the things.

But another part of you wants this year to be different.

She doesn’t want to gain the five pounds, or feel crappy and bloated, or have the whole holiday revolve around food.

All movement is exercise

All movement is exercise

I’m working on strengthening my upper body.

For the past year or so, I’ve been having shoulder issues.

And I feel like I’ve lost some muscle in my arms and shoulders in general.

So, I’ve decided to get stronger.

Now I’m working out my arms and shoulders every second day.

And I have to say, it feels great.

However, this past weekend was so busy, and I didn’t get my arm workout in.

I know, it sounds like an excuse, right?

But…

Is Revenge Bedtime Procrastination an issue for you?

Last week I was away in Vancouver.

It was so great to be on a vacation again.

To visit new places, and meet people.

That’s where I found myself in a hot spring pool, talking to another woman who introduced me to the term Revenge Bedtime.

And although I knew about it as a concept, I didn’t know it had a name.

So, here’s what REVENGE BEDTIME PROCRASTINATION (which I found out is the actual term) is, in a nutshell:

YOU are your greatest asset

I love the idea that I am my greatest asset.

It’s a concept I learned from a fellow coach a few years ago.

It’s helped me realize my own value, and understand the importance of investing in myself.

So, I’m sharing it here with you.

YOU as an asset

So, normally we think of assets as relating to things of monetary value.

Things like our house, our car, our furniture, and our investments.

But assets can also be people, like the employees in a company.

And more specifically, an asset can be YOU.

The Courage to Be Disliked

Are you a PEOPLE-PLEASER?

If so, you’re not alone.

So many of us suffer from this “disease to please.”

And it can (and usually does) have a negative impact on your own self-care.

It can dictate whether you get out to exercise today.

It can allow others to control your schedule.

It can cause you to feel unhappy, and feel trapped.

And it can, of course, lead you to eat, or pick up other unhealthy habits to feel better.

Yet it seems like the right thing to do, right?
