TAKING ACTION: ✅ After reading today’s post, are you guilty of asking the questions, but not taking the time to think about and answer them? Do you see how you can level up your awareness by doing so? Awareness. Here’s the deal. We get all caught up in the next best thing when it comes to our health & wellness journeys. We jump from one thing to another, hoping that with each attempt, something will change. What I’m here to tell you is that there is one answer, and when it’s done correctly, the game changes. Forever. 💯 It’s called awareness. When you have a deep awareness of your thoughts, your actions can’t help but follow suit. Unfortunately, most of us spend our lives without digging into what it means to really be aware. Instead, we ask ourselves questions like, “What’s wrong with me?” or “Why can’t I get control of this?” You ask the questions, but asking the questions doesn’t do much good if you don’t focus on actually answering the questions. 🤯 This week, I want you to focus on answering some of the questions that arise when you have these types of thoughts. When you find yourself tempted to betray your goals, ask yourself what’s really going on. Are you tired? Did you have a rough day at work? Are you in a time crunch? Answer the question. That’s what awareness is all about—and awareness first is the way to overcome going astray! 💯 Speaking of awareness, you’re probably aware that Spring is right around the corner—and there’s nothing better than a cold, light broccoli salad straight outta the fridge on a warm Spring day!

Yesterday, I challenged you to practice awareness of your thoughts about yourself. This is important because your thoughts always precede your actions. The only way to change your thoughts is to question them. This is what awareness is. Once you change your thoughts, only then can you change your actions. 💯 As with anything else, awareness (for the sake of changing) is an ongoing process. That’s not to say it doesn’t get easier. It does. The more you practice awareness around your thoughts and actions, the more it becomes a part of you. Ultimately, it’s just like building any other habit—but we all know habits don’t build themselves. Habits are the product of doing something over and over until it sticks—until it becomes second nature. According to Tracking Your Food Intake for Awareness: Practical Guide to Healthy Eating, “Psychologists note that self-monitoring changes behavior by reducing ‘blind spots.’ When individuals track their food, they are less likely to underestimate portions or forget snacks. This process of tracking your food intake for awareness taps into accountability—when meals are recorded, it’s harder to ignore choices.” If you have extra time, feel free to check out the article today and learn more about why tracking is beneficial for better awareness!

TAKING ACTION: ✅ Are you guilty of learning all the things without putting your knowledge into action? How has being a part of this program and platform helped you with awareness and taking action? “You seek too much information and not enough transformation.” ~Sai Baba You’ve all heard that knowledge is power. You’ve probably also heard me say that while that’s true, it’s also true that knowledge alone doesn’t get you very far. You must take action if you want to be powerful. Since we’re talking about awareness this week, let’s take it a step further—if you want to change your actions, prior knowledge and awareness are both important. 💯 In our program and platform, I give you all of the education. You have the knowledge. With that, it’s up to you to practice self-awareness and to take action. As the quote above says, “You seek too much information and not enough transformation.” As a coach who loves learning all the things, this quote hit me hard. Not only did I consider myself, but I considered all of you as well. In the age of social media and AI, we have endless information at our fingertips. Too much information, I dare to say. We don’t need more information. We need transformation. We need awareness around our thoughts and actions—and then we need to move. We need to take action. Transformation doesn’t happen just because you know all the things. It happens when you move. The move doesn’t have to be big. In fact, small steps are key for sustainable progress and longterm results. The optional reading below contains some simple, doable tips regarding awareness and taking action! ⬇️ Long-lasting healthy changes: Doable and worthwhile - Harvard Health

Sometimes you gotta remind yourself where you started , why you started and start grinding it out to get to who you want to be. This is me.
