For the Nailbiters

About 10 years separate these pics and the biggest difference to me...if you look closely enough...My fingernails and tbh, that's what I'm MOST proud of when I look at these pics.

To some it might sound ridiculous but to me that was one of the FIRST things I was able to change and to STICK to it, LONGTERM.

I was anxious, manic and would bite my nails till they bled.....EVERYDAY.
I was so ashamed and embarrassed and that anxiety only made it worse.

So what changed!?!? My mindset.

If I wanted change I had to own it and give myself PERMISSION to change. I had to stop being a victim and start..OWNING what I could change.

I see how that ONE decision had a domino effect for years to come.

Even my friend groups started to change. Instead of drama & gossip ppl, I distanced myself bc I no longer NEEDED to put down others to feel better about myself. I no longer looked or NEEDED approval from people, so I stopped searching it out.

Next up, what else was I using to comfort myself negatively?! FOOD. My binge and emotional eating came to a stop when I started asking myself WHY am I doing this?! I threw away my scale next and started focusing on small doable HEALTHY habits that I COULD control.

I also stopped saying YES to the easy things I was good at and started saying YES to what pushed me and got me outside my comfort zone(hello Coaching).

Even my income was impacted because of being able to learn and grow from those I no longer envied but now admired. I decided I COULD LEARN from them bc the jealousy game was NOT working!!!!

Sometimes you just need ONE THING to REMIND YOURSELF that you have accomplished it and yes, THAT ONE THING can help you tackle the next goal.

Seeing how much I've grown in this last decade only makes me excited for what's to come next...not just for me but for the NEW Coaches I'm training.

I see myself in so many of you & watch out Team SWEAT.... You are gonna surprise yourself & make yourself Proud too. I know I'm already proud of you #healthyandwealthycoaching
