Have you ever stopped & asked yourself what you REALLY want?
I’ll be honest, I’ve spent most of my life going through the motions. Doing what I thought was the right path based on the “norm”, college, career, marriage, kids.
I never stopped & REALLY asked myself what I wanted.
I had a lot of things I thought I wanted but never really looked past surface level.
I never tried to get to know who I was & what was important to me.
I was just simply letting life happen to me.
I was not making things happen for myself.
6 years ago, in Corporate America, I was exhausted.
I blamed it on the company. My role. My clients.
But it had WAY more to do with me not being in alignment with who I was & what I wanted than where I worked. I moved positions, quit the corporate life & found another job & I was still unhappy. And definitely not in the headspace to see what was really going on…
I had no idea what I wanted.
I just knew that the path I was on was not it.
But I still never stopped to sit down & dig deep to figure out what the fuck I REALLY wanted in my life. Nor did I believe in myself so thinking about what I wanted & how to get it was not even an option for me, it was outside of my reach.
When Beachbody came into my life, something inside of me shifted. I had actually started to think outside the box in terms of what was possible more than I ever had before.
I found a LOVE for the personal development work that we as coaches did on the regular.
In 2020, I started to do work with a life coach. That was it!
This is ONE of the many things on my list that I WANT in my life.
It is showing me how to take my dreams, write them out on paper, make them a possibility & know that I can handle ANY emotion that comes up as I grow into this more evolved version of myself. It has shown me that I don’t have to sit here & let life happen to me, I can CREATE the future that I want….but only IF I KNOW WHAT I WANT! Otherwise, we stay in autopilot & that is how our lives start to feel a little bit like Groundhog Day!
So here I am at 37, almost 38…FINALLY doing the work to ask myself (besides this amazing new business I am launching because that is a HUGE “want” I get to check off my list) what else do I want?!
Y’all, it doesn’t have to be a biz you start, it can relate to your current career. A better relationship with your hubs. Your kids. A trip to Fiji. To lose 50lbs & keep it off. It can be ANYTHING. The point is, what do you want?
If you keep living the way you are today do you know where will you be in 5, 10 years
Is that the path you need to be on to achieve what YOU want THE most in your life?
Not what society tells you is the right path or what you SHOULD do, what YOU Want.
And if not, what do you need to do to make shit happen for yourself?!
What are some things in life that you WANT? Get curious with yourself!
