Motivation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Dear Friend,

I cannot thank you enough for being part of this dream of mine- to build a community of women who are supporting and encouraging each other to live their very best life.  Whether you are in Texas or New Jersey reading this, or are one of the women who come into Clear Rock every week for training, I feel very blessed and thankful to have you in my life.

I want to remind you that I am not someone who, according to the world's standards, should be living my dream right now.  My parents died when I was young.  I dropped out of high school.  I've been dirt poor.  And at several points in my life I lost complete and total faith in myself.  But for some reason that is beyond me, there was always this part of me that keeps fighting and refuses to believe that I should give up.

I believe, after working with all of you, that this fighting spirit is in all of us.  There is absolutely no reason why you cannot live the life of your dreams.  You can accomplish anything.  You can overcome anything.  And yes, you can even be at your goal weight and love your body!

It is common to have a deep false belief about ourselves that we build everything else around.  Lies such as "I'm not good enough", "I will never succeed", or "I'm not worth it".  If you don't believe you will ever succeed at your goals, keep fighting.  Keep searching.  The answer lies within you.  The key is to shine as much light as possible on the lies that keep you stuck, so much light that eventually they have no power at all and the truth shines instead.

The truth is that you are a beautiful, capable overcomer.  You have everything you need to succeed no matter what your past or your circumstances.  You can change, transform, be freed.  You can take radical responsibility for your health and your life.  You can make extraordinary choices that support your dreams.

I want you to envision your future.  You've done the hard work and uncovered the root of your struggle.  You allowed light to shine on the lies you've been carrying with you your entire life.  Once the power of those lies were broken, junk food lost its appeal.  It became much easier to prioritize exercise and activity in your life and say no to things that no longer matter to you.  Your weight drops slowly but without dieting.  Your relationship with food is healed.  Exercise is now enjoyable because the results show up consistently.  You feel good about yourself and your body.  You have confidence and joy in your life.  I'm so happy for you.  I want to be there to say "See??  You had it in you all along!!!".

Now get moving!

Can you see the future of your dreams?  What do you need to change to get there?  What lie is keeping you stuck?  Where do you look for answers?

Believe!

"Interesting newsletter and so timely...Before reading the newsletter I was prepared to feel sorry for myself all day and wallow in all the things wrong in my life at this time and if I really try I can come up with a whole bunch...oh! Poor me don't you feel sorry for me? THAT'S OK...I WAS FEELING SORRY ENOUGH FOR MYSELF !!!  (I really have far more good things but hard to see those when you are in this moment.) Then I read "I am afraid" and realized that's what I am. Not that I have too many issues going around in my head that I don't feel in control of but am afraid to tackle many of those issues because I may not get the result I want as fast as I want. So why not just cry and complain instead of trying. Because I am afraid. Weight control and exercise can come about like anything else in time as long as the trying is there!  I know that! So today I am working on trying to get going on some of the issues that I am afraid of slow and steady. It will take some time but there will be progress."

"
Sue, I do hope you save all of your MOTIVATION excerpts from your newsletters.  Have you thought of using these for a Motivational BOOK!??!!?  It would absolutely be a Best Seller!!!" (You are not the first person to say that. I'll admit it again, "I am afraid".)

 
"I'm feeling the need to get back on the workout wagon pronto!   My spirit and my body need it."

 
"I read your newsletter last night and loved it so much!! I'm not sure what it is with me this time, but it's different and I believe it's all your newsletter that have helped me. Not to mention all our talks!!! Do you know that I went to a graduation partyon Saturday and there was so much food..so much!! I said "NO" to about 95% of everything!! I didn't have one piece of cake, cookie, bread and anything else that was not healthy. I have to put my walking on hold for right now according to the doctor. The heat is not good. The bike and trying to get in a swimming pool is all I can do until the fall. So I will get my butt back on this bike. One step at a time...I will get there!!!"
