Life is always going to deal you 'lemons' and it's uo to you to choose to make 'lemonade' with them or not! How many times have you heard the phrase...'I'll be ready when...' 'I just need to get x sorted first'... 'I'll start tomorrow, next week...' The reality is that these (whilst completely valid) are just excuses. We have to make a decision if we want those excuses (and they will be genuine...well most of them are!) to stop us, or do we just find another way! When you still with small habits and you build on them every day, it's amazing how you can find a way (to keep those habits alive). This is where the magic starts...in the very un-magical place of consistency. Showing up for yourself on a daily basis. Stay committed and focused on your goal (and even when you don't want to) you get it done. For me, this prep has been incredibly challenging and if I've wanted to throw in the towel once, then I've actually thought about it x100. However, whilst the photoshoot is like the 'medal part' of a race. It's actually the journey you've gone on is where the growth happens. I've had everything that life can throw at you, even to the point where my Coach said...'Do you want to do this?' But here's the thing, I never can know what I truly can achieve until I try (and I mean really try). So here at 49 years perimenopausal, I've shown myself that it IMPOSSIBLE is just I'M POSSIBLE if you don't give up and you stay consistent.
Stay tuned for next week where I will be sharing my journey through 'peak week' and all the thoughts, emotions and stress I've encountered. (For information purposes, the release date of this episode is a week behind where I am at). I would love to hear from you and if anything in the episode resonated. Do let me know by snapping the episode and sharing on your stories. Be sure to tag me in @NatashaBEfit and @plantbased_FM with what you took away from it. Also listen in for the next couple of shows if you want to know how it goes. Until then....keep pushing for your own dreams to become reality! Natasha x
