My Word of the Year: 2016

This year, I'm declaring that I have a choice....

I have a choice in my attitude. 

I have a choice to pray. 

I have a choice to be eat well. 

I have a choice in where I invest my money. 

I have a choice to serve others well. 

I have a choice to workout and feel my best. 

I have a choice to work my hardest. 

I have a choice to choose self-care. 

I have a choice to love better. 

I have a choice to make 2016 the best year yet.

Everyday, we're faced with choices: 

All of them lead to consequences. I desire for my choices in 2016, 

to be more thought out; more intentional. 

The choice is yours. 

I am very much looking forward to 2016. 

2015 was a year of transition, as my husband and I moved states and even spent a few months in separate states (because of logistical reasons). While I'd like to think that I did accomplish some pretty big dreams, I felt pretty power-less at times because of situations that were (and are still) out of my control. 

I don't think that 2016 will lead me to feel more in control, however I do feel as though, when I make wiser, more intentional choices, I will feel more powerful and that makes me excited. 

Last year, my word was 'power'. 

I was just looking at my 2015 Dreamboard. 

(Have you ever made one? If not, I highly suggest it! Click here to find out why they're so helpful and how to create one.) Visualization is a huge motivator for me. It helps to see everything in front of me and it enables me to understand how to tackle these goals!

My dreams were big, detailed, and quite scary. 

Did I accomplish them all? No. 

AND that's okay. To name a few things that we accomplished on my dreamboard...(in no particular order) we bought our second home (in a new state), I reached some pretty incredible coaching goals, I traveled, I grew closer to my Savior, read 9.5 books (goal was 10), chose to listen to some pretty awesome podcasts, built some pretty incredible friendships locally and all over the US (many with women who are now some of my dearest friends - arrow girls are the best but I might be bias), I started a blog, and our marriage grew stronger. 

I think it's safe to say the success outweighed the failures  goals that will remain on my list until I accomplish them. 

Do you take some time in December to reflect on the previous year? Do you set goals for yourself? Do you find a word of the year? If so, I'd love to hear about them!

I LOVE new beginnings!

Hey there, 2016, ready or not, here we come!

Dare to Dream?

I love this quote from John Quincy Adams, "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, YOU ARE A LEADER." 

I never saw myself as a leader. I didn't believe that I could make a difference in others lives. To be honest, I didn't have belief in myself...to make big, positive changes for myself, to take actions to become more, to become better, to even establish dreams for our future. Now, I'm a dreamer.

I'm looking up now more than ever before. Over the last year and a half, my husband and I have changed our lives drastically. Not only have we changed our health around, but our finances have improved SO much. To be honest, becoming a Beachbody coach has been one of the best decisions I've ever made....all of this started just because I just wanted a discount on incredible products like workout programs and vitamins.

I GET to help inspire others to better themselves and make an income.

The best part about this gig is that there is no specific mold to being a coach; my team consists of working moms, guys, and even grandparents. We're all on different stages of our journey and we're all imperfect but our first desire is to see others thriving. I'm not the most outgoing person, nor am I the most fit, nor am I perfect with my nutrition, but it's my goal to help others with providing them tools and accountability to get their health (and potentially, finances) on track. I am a leader. I believe in myself. I believe that I can change the world and I believe you can too. I believe that it's never too late to make changes - in your perspective in life, your finances, or your health.

Will you dream big with me for a minute? What could you do with extra money? Pay off debt? Stay at home with your kids? Take a much needed vacation? Are you unsure where to start? I am looking for 5 women who desire to see others thrive. As a Diamond coach, I've been given incredible trainings and tools to help build up my team. We're not here with salesy tactics, we don't believe there is a quick fix - regarding health or finances. We do believe in dreaming, positivity, self-care, hard work, and teamwork.

I'd love to chat with you. If you'd like to know more information about this coaching life, send me a message or fill out the application here. 

2 more months....

I bought a 2016 calendar for work today as we're starting to plan for the next year. This got me thinking...toward the end of last year, my incredible coach/mentor/teammate encouraged us to make a dream board for the year. I will have accomplished everything on the list very very soon. I set hard dates and goals and I went after them. This year hasn't been easy, these goals weren't simple, but I had a plan of action, hit some bumps in the road, but got up! That's what has changed, I GOT UP and kept at it. What do you desire to accomplish over these last 2 months? If you'd like to change your perspective slightly and look into this coaching thing that's transformed our lives, financially, spiritually, and physically, we've got a sneak peek going on now. Break the cycle and don't let 2015 pass you by without making some lasting changes.

A life by design...

I just got done speaking with one of my coaches about how they're so so grateful for the opportunity this job has given them to work from home and be with their kids more. We used to both work for Disney and 5 nights a week, we would get home at midnight. This is freedom! This same coach is experiencing positive changes within their health that they haven't seen in over 8 years. This is freedom! I'm just so grateful I found something that improves my life, my family, my health, my finances...AND I get to help others on their journey too. We're not perfect, we don't have all of the answers, but we're always striving to be better. I'm so glad I have this sisterhood bond with so many women all across the country. This is something that I never envisioned being my job, but isn't that how life sometimes works? We find ourselves in amazing places we'd never even dreamed of.
