This week was full of Firsts and my heart was full of gratitude!! This week we celebrated our official two year Anniversary of FitHouse. This week was also the release of the book that I had the opportunity to co author “10 Stories of Strong Living, True Fitness Begins in the Heart.” I also had an opportunity to be a guest on my first podcast with “Health Nuts” which will I loved and will air on iTunes in the near future! It is a big milestone week for me as a mom as well as 3 of my children will move up to new schools next year.
One of the practices that I learned from Todd Durkin and am encouraged to do by my coach every week is to write my Wins and Losses for the week. This week there were a lot of wins and it really felt great but I can assure you that there have been many weeks where the losses seem to flow a lot easier than the wins.
It has been an emotional week. I have learned so much about myself and about my journey through life in these past two years. Making the jump to open FitHouse was one of the biggest decisions in my life. I made decisions to move across the country, take a job traveling the seas, say I do, move back across the country. But with FitHouse I felt like so much more was on the line at this time of my life. I can’t say that I was necessarily scared because I wasn’t afraid of failing in the business, I knew that if I failed I could handle it. But I was definitely afraid. I was afraid of failing at LIFE! As a mom blessed with four amazing daughters, a wife with a wonderful husband, a daughter with a wonderful mother and father and a friend with a great network of friends who I love, I have a lot!!! This is what I WAS afraid of failing, my children, my husband, my family, my friends and myself. I was afraid of not being able to make the time time or energy to be the mom or wife that I desire to be, the daughter that enjoys time with her mother. I was afraid of not being able to have the ability to juggle all of these balls in the air and still take care of me and practice what I preach, love like I wanted to love and be who I wanted to be!
In the end this decision wasn’t about me, it was about something much bigger. It was about leading the way for other moms who had a passion but weren’t sure if they could do it, it was about creating a community for those who needed someone to believe in them, it was about bringing energy to this world and having fun and it was about leading the way for my children and showing them that with hard work, a deep passion and the ability to accept what and who you are you can achieve what you put your mind to. I have been told you can only take others on a journey as far as you have been. Right or wrong I knew that this was a part of the journey that I needed to take to grow as a fitness professional but even more so as a person. I believe that we have all been given gifts that connect us to the world. If we can share those gifts that is one of the best things in life!
In the past two years through this journey I have had to learn to let go of what is truly not important, I have learned the importance of who you surround yourself with, the team is everything!! Thank you to my FitHouse Team and my team of family and friends, for being so awesome!!! I have learned that making mistakes is par for the course and with the right attitude they will make you better! I used to think that I could have everything in life, but what I have learned is that I can have almost anything but I definitely can’t have everything so choosing wisely and with your heart is the key!
Someone recently asked me if the balance between the business and family and life was getting easier. I thought for a second and said no but I am getting better! That holds true for so many things in life, motherhood, a new job, or embarking on a new journey in life.
Often things don’t get easier but if they are important to us then we must work to find ways to make ourselves better so that we can become the person to handle them!! 1% Better EVERYDAY!!!!
