I have recently found myself stuck in a difficult season of my life. Nothing outwardly difficult has been going on, but I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and stagnant… stagnant mostly in the area of my weight loss. As a result, I’ve been seeking out coaching this summer to help me jump the hurdles that I have found in front of me, yet I have remained stuck.
In the past couple weeks, I got huge inspiration at a conference for my health and wellness business. The breakthrough came as a result of two speakers that were presenting on the last day. Have you ever had the experience of a lightbulb going off in your head, and seeing something about yourself you’ve never seen before? That’s what happened to me. I clearly understood what behavior has been keeping me stuck, and why it has felt so looming and immovable. In the final talk of the day, one of my mentors talked about radical responsibility. He said that if you want to have a real victory, you have to give up your victim story and take responsibility for EVERY area of your life. He said that if you don’t like the circumstance around you, you need to FIGHT BACK. These two words resonated deeply with me. While I’ve been trying to understand, process and untangle the things that have kept me stuck, it never once occurred to me that I needed to fight back against it. I needed to take a strong, defiant stand for the things (and the body/health) I want in my life and get laser-focused on making it happen. I know the power of a future, and the power of goals. What I didn’t realize is that talking about being stuck, staying stuck and trying to figure out why I am stuck is all a function of being a victim. And I am sick of being a stuck victim.
So, in response to his talk, I’m taking on 100 Days of Fighting Back. That means that I’m pushing hard against the things that are running me under the radar. I’m changing behaviors that no longer serve me. I’m eliminating distractions and everything that sucks my joy. I’m going to be intentional about my weight loss, feel the feelings I keep trying to stuff and fight back against everything that has kept me stagnant.
It’s a process, and I’m going to film it all. Every day, I’m going to see what unfolds. I’m going to see what I need to FIGHT BACK against on a daily basis and I’m going to share it all with you.
Won’t you join me? What is holding YOU back? Where is your foot nailed to the floor in some area of your life? Where are you STUCK? I invite you to create your own 100 Day Transformation and share this journey with me.
Let’s go!
