You feel lost.

You’re overwhelmed by all the things you think you should be doing.

And when you don’t feel strong, confident, energized or comfortable in your body, it’s really easy to start thinking:

“What the hell is wrong with me?”

But before you decide your body is the problem…

Are you actually doing these things consistently?

Because I’d bet there’s something here you’ve been missing.

And no, I don’t want you to look at all 6 and decide you need to overhaul your entire life by Monday.

Pick one.

The one that made you go, “s**t… yeah, I’m definitely not doing that.”

Start there.

Get good at it.
Then build on it.

You don’t create a body you feel confident and sexy in by constantly trying to fix yourself.

You create it by choosing yourself, over and over again.

Maybe confidence isn’t waking up every day obsessed with what you see in the mirror. Maybe it’s when your body takes up less space in your brain.

Less overthinking, less waiting until you look different to start living differently.

You deserve a life that’s bigger than how you feel about your body in the morning. And a lot of that comes from choosing yourself.

Taking care of yourself.
Keeping the promises you make.
Getting stronger to keep up with your grandkids.
Fuelling your body instead of fighting it.
Doing things that make you feel capable.

Every time you choose yourself, you build trust, confidence and a body that will support a beautiful life.

Girl, you are still there. Still doing the thing.

The negative thoughts & emotions are going to come up, the self doubt always creeps up at some point - but if you making actions that contradict these things you’re feeling, it gets a heck of a lot easier to push those self sabotaging thoughts aside.

Just do your best. And remember that that changes on any given day.

Stop making movement an all or nothing task. Walk when you can.

The key isn’t looking at 10,000 steps and thinking “jeez…that’s three hours of my life”

The key is asking “how can I move more through my day?”

A 10-minute walk before work.
Parking further from the store.
Walking while you take a phone call.
A lap around the building at lunch.
Walking between sets at the gym.
Taking the kids outside for a walk after dinner.

These are all just opportunities to feel better in your body. Look for these opportunities 🫶

Overwhelm is believing you need to change everything today. Progress is choosing one thing that makes tomorrow better.

Sorry I couldn’t get my s**t together fast enough to post this while it was trending, but here ya go…and apparently I’m choosing controversy today because I don’t hate it. 🤷🏼‍♀️
