Oh.My.Word. I just finished talking to a friend of mine that I haven't seen in months. The negative thoughts she was expressing about herself were...overwhelming. I tried redirecting and trying to get her to re-examine what she was saying objectively without much luck. Suddenly, out of my mouth, I snapped, "Would you date your inner voice?" (I still can't believe that was the phrase that came out of my mouth. I usually try to be more...diplomatic, at least????) That stopped her and got her attention. I told her how destructive her "talk track" was about herself and told her she really needs to recalibrate her negative thoughts. I even gave her a weekend assignment. I told her that she needs to ask 10 people who she knows and admires this Labor Day weekend what it is they value and respect about her and the person's name down and what they said. I told her that I wanted her to share it with me on Monday when I see her. I'm thinking that I can have her use that as a first step to her read that daily kind of as an affirmation of sort to start to retrain that "talk track." If she does that, what would be something else you would suggest as a next step?

🍒So many times I have set goals for myself and they don’t get done because I haven’t broken them down step by step into bite-size pieces. 🍉This can also be because we set goals that are wayyyyyy too generic that it can be too overwhelming to start. Some examples of this include “having a fit body” or “becoming financially free.” 🍊See how general those are? Like, where do you even begin!? 🥑So chunk down and make your goals easy and achieve able for yourself. You don’t have to radically change your life and habits overnight. Just change one small thing in your day that actually fits in with your day. For example, if one of your goals is to consume 30g of protein a day, think about how you can add it into your already established routine. If you have a smoothie every morning for breakfast, add is some protein powder. 🥭Or if your goal is to be more active, make it easy for yourself by fitting it into your day as it is. Take the stairs at work or stand up at your desk instead. 🍅Small modifications go a long way over time as they compound. ⭐️You’ve got this guys!

Hey everyone, after hiring a personal coach this year to better myself in my career, he completely changed everything I thought about coaching and my career as a whole. I'm the Sales Director for one of the largest cannabis companies in the US but always felt there was something more I could offer the world. Through my experience with my coach, and despite having a successful career, I've realized it's about WE, not ME. I am now in the process of becoming a health/optimization coach and couldn't be more excited to help others and provide the world with VALUE. I'm fortunate to have stumbled upon the EC community and I look forward to learning from everyone and hope to provide as much value as I can to others as well. Much love everyone and looking forward to growing together. 😁

Hope you all are having a good day.
