Shake It Off: Doing the Same Things

#askforhelp #bebold #clarity #habits #letgo #new #quit Jan 24, 2023

In a sea of "I resolve to" this January, I challenge and encourage you to join in the chorus of “I quit!"

Now, I know that sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out...

As women, we’re the doers. We get it done, we make it work, we squeeze it in – many times at the detriment to our own health and wellbeing. Well, 2023 is the year that we’re going to QUIT. Let’s QUIT burning ourselves out for no reason; Let’s QUIT being so focused on what other people are going through that we miss our own journey entirely.

So this week, we’re saying goodbye to:

Doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

You know, some would even call that the definition of insanity. Yikes.

I wager we’ve all found ourselves in an ‘insanity’ cycle at one point in time.

But are you stuck there now? Are you destined to repeat 2022 in 2023?

The answer is really quite simple:

If you want different results,...

Shake It Off: Comparison

Good Morning!

I hope this email finds you feeling warm, well, and optimistic for this week.

This month, we’re taking cues from my “I'm retiring” resolution list to see what we can let go of in 2023, and today's message is part 2.

Instead of focusing on what you want to ADD in 2023, can we take some things OFF our plate? If you’re anything like me, your plate is already full. Spilling over, even! It’s time to BREAK FREE from the things holding us back and to SHAKE OFF the habits, mindsets, and routines that are bringing us down and keeping us rooted in the past.

So, let’s start the new year SHEDDING the things that hold us back so that we can spend the year fresh, focused, and a whole lot LIGHTER.

We shook off avoiding rest and now we’re releasing:

comparing ourselves and our journey to anyone but ourselves

It’s easy to focus on anyone and everyone but our own goals, our own future, and our own path. It can be so easy to get...

Shake It Off: Avoiding Rest

It's 2023! A new year is here, but what about YOU

Are you still stuck in your old (2022) ways?

Are you sliding into 2023, doing all the same things but expecting different results?
Are you carrying old habits and mindsets you’ve clung to for years, bringing them into 2023 like you’ve always done?
Are you plowing into 2023 with your tank empty, burned out and over-scheduled, still full steam ahead?
Is your vision focused anywhere and everywhere EXCEPT on yourself and your goals?
Are you bringing your commitment to push through it all–pain, emotional baggage–avoiding the rest your body and mind need into 2023?

Instead of focusing on what you want to ADD in 2023, can we take some things OFF our plate? If you’re anything like me, your plate is already full. Spilling over, even! It’s time to BREAK FREE from the things holding us back and to SHAKE OFF the habits, mindsets, and routines that are bringing us down and keeping...

It's 2023... and I'm Retiring!

It’s 2023 and I’m retiring…

It’s true. It’s a new year, a fresh start, and an opportunity to let go of the past and begin again. So, I’ve chosen to retire.

And no, not in the traditional sense. I’m not going anywhere. I am still coaching. I am still showing up. I am still Coach D.

But I have chosen to retire the following:

The glorification of busy
The fear of saying no
The belief that I am not enough
Comparison to anyone other than myself
Doing anything that starts with “I should”
Worrying about the future
Pushing through pain (physical & mental)
Doing more versus doing better
Trying to keep up instead of staying on my own path
Assuming Fran can read my mind
Not asking for what I truly want
Looking outside of myself for those deep answers
Buying things I don’t need
Avoiding rest
Doing the same things but expecting a different result
Complaining
Saving things for “special events”
Getting stressed...

#blessed #happy #new #thankful #year Jan 01, 2023

Happy Sunday Morning Dana,

And Happy New Year 2023! We did it... we are here!

How are you feeling today?

What word(s) comes to mind?

For me, it's "thankful" and "ready". Those are definitely the words that keep popping in my brain today as I'm reflecting on the past year and, honestly, a little stunned that 2023 is actually here... and I AM READY!

Most of us tend to reflect a little more as we transition from one year to the next.. on life, our path, the pandemic, our choices, the stellar souls we share time with, and of course all the things we did or didn't do in 2022 and the limitless possibilities of 2023.

~~~~~~~~~~

I AM THANKFUL. I AM READY.

Thankful for the outrageous speed of 2022 as it reminds me of the importance of soaking up the present moment.

I AM READY to slow down.

Thankful for my health, even though it is compromised right now.

I...

Living the FIERCE life...

#clarity #courage #overcome #practical #roadblocks Dec 13, 2022

Here at FIERCE, we’re anchored by our five pillars:

FITNESS, FUEL, FULFILLMENT, FRIENDSHIP, & FUN

It can be easy to toss around those words and say that we value those things, because most of us do! But we’re not just talking about working out and eating veggies every day; you don’t have to have 50 friends or spend every free moment with other people, either.

So what do all of these things look like on a practical, day-to-day basis?

The FIERCE life is all about…

Gaining clarity on where you are and where you want to go
Identifying and overcoming roadblocks
Being flexible in our mindset and constantly flipping the script
Creating and maintaining exceptional energy
Striving for balance in all aspects of life
Setting and holding to boundaries
Activating our learning by making lasting changes
Maintaining our efforts through repetition

We only have 32 days left in 2022 ...

32 DAYS!

What are the things you are most proud of this year?

How would you like to grow, stretch, and change in the new year?

Why is it important to reflect on the year behind us and plan for the next year to come? Because when we get bogged down by the monotony and routine of daily life, it can be easy to coast on autopilot.

Do you ever get all the way through the day and realize you can’t really remember how you got from point A to B to C?

When things get stressful and the overwhelm creeps in, it can be even easier to default to doing the things you’ve always done.

Sometimes, leaning into our defaults can be a blessing.

But what if the things you’ve always done just aren’t serving you anymore?

As we get ready to head into 2023, aren't you ready to BREAK FREE from the things that...

The beauty of gratitude...💚

#attitude #focus #gratitude #opportunities #thankfulness Nov 22, 2022

Good Morning ;

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday this Thursday, let’s start off the week by setting our intentions filled with gratitude.

Developing a spirit of thankfulness is a lot like working out—the more you do it, the more habitual it becomes.

Gratitude doesn’t need to be reserved for special holidays, like Thanksgiving; it can be practiced every day, all year round.

What does your gratitude practice look like today?

How can you further cultivate gratitude this holiday season?

Let's keep it simple with 3 little ways...

Keep a gratitude journal. Taking a few minutes per day to reflect on what you’re thankful for can make a huge impact on the rest of your day. It also makes a special way to look back on your week, month, year, etc., all through the lens of gratitude.

Say thank you. It sounds simple, but actively look for opportunities each day to thank those...
