Ready? Set. Go!



Getting started isn’t always easy. Take this blog for example. Even though I’m really excited about it, I’m almost a week behind schedule already.

You could have the best laid plans, but life likes throwing curve balls. I promised myself I’d have it completed by Friday, but I ended up making two trips to the hospital emergency room in one week. First with my oldest child, then with my middle one. Killer migraines and broken ankles are only a couple reasons your schedule could be put on hold. Trust me, there are countless others.

If you’re like me, the negative committee that meets inside your head will be the first to say, “I told you that you couldn’t do it.” It’s okay for you to tell these naysayers to “shut up.” You’ll be amazed at what you could accomplish when you replace the negative self-talk with positive affirmations.

The important thing is to keep moving forward. Don’t let these unexpected challenges completely derail you. Get back on track as soon as possible.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – LaoTzu

I know it can be difficult to remain calm, motivated and focused. We all backslide sometimes. When I’m overwhelmed, I try not to look too far into the future. It’s common for me to take one hour at a time, never mind a day.

My goal here is to share my story of personal growth and development. If even one person gains some insight from my experiences and their life is positively impacted, then this all will have been worth my effort.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I'd like to hear from you. Email me!

All the best,
Stephanie
