Quitters Day!
I heard myself say: what if I fail? ๐
Two days ago, I was in the energy of certainty. Strong spine, feet grounded on the floor. Iโm building out my academy of transformation. Yesterday I was in bed feeling sick, pinkeye and sore throat. ๐ท
That morning, I was followed into the kitchen being meowed at by Charlie, my demanding big orange tabby cat and Calli, my shy calico to prepare their food and my morning coffee, while listening to a podcast by Mel Robins. She said tomorrow is quitting day. Yeah 19 days into a project, a plan, a New Yearโs resolution is quitting day. she says the science, says day 19 is the day we want to quit. ๐
But Iโm here to let you know, itโs ok to have a quitting day. You can just start over the next day. ๐
No, you did not fail. You are making progress. You, just like me occasionally need a day off and a cheerleader ๐ฃto get you up and going again.
Funny, cheerleading is of the things I love most about playing team sports. I may not be a great athlete, but I love to cheer others on and do my best. I never quit when with teammates who are excited about what they are doing. It fires me up. ๐ฅ
When we are able to shift out of a quitter's state and into the state of a cheerleader, cheering ๐ฃ on another, we no longer feel sorry for ourselves we no longer feel hopeless but shift to optimism, just like that of a cheerleader. I love cheering ๐ฃ my clients and sports colleagues on. It just feels so natural to me. It creates a high.
And even though I wrote this from my bed with a sore throat and pink eye as I recall the moments, I got to be part of a team, it shifted me into the state of passion, were I felt ignited and excited about winning. There is a certain sense of victory, knowing we will win. ๐
As a coach one of the steps in my 8 steps of lasting transformation is writing out the new story so we can practice reading it every day. (another step in the process) The new story is meant to shift your state, so you are standing in the energy, the feeling of living your new life. Itโs part of the magic. ๐ฎ
If youโre ready to create a new life, and would like me on your team, Iโd be delighted to be your coach & cheerleader ๐ฃ please book a dare to dream big discovery call to see if we would make a great team to write your new story so you can start living it.
Go ahead, have a day off if you need, cause the next day you can start again. ๐
Remember itโs never too late to make your dreams come true! ๐ญ
