My @thegivingkeys necklace reads “inspire”. It’s amazing what we can do, believe and accomplish when we anchor to a specific word.

At the last @themerryhour we were asked to share one word to describe 2018 and 2019. For me, 2018 is ‘surrender’ and 2019 is ‘light’. What are your words?🌲

I believe every day we have a choice. We can choose to hide from life (complaining, avoiding risks, staying in our comfort zones) or we can embrace this gift we have. Today, I’m choosing to wake up feeling energized (even though I could’ve slept another 2 hours), I’m appreciative to be going to a job that aligns with my values and my passions and I’m choosing to put my self out there at an awesome networking event tonight called @themerryhour 💯What are you choosing today?🌲

Today is my half-birthday and I just had an a-ha moment. 🧐I sent my mom to the hospital 5 times before I was finally ready to come out. I used to see it like I was in charge of the timing. This was just me “being me” since I was a baby. But today, I thought maybe the first 4 times I tried to call the shots and it was the 5th time when God decided it was time.🌲

I had coffee with a fellow @gustavusadolphuscollege alumna. I shared with her how I’ve been focusing on following and going where I am being called to versus always deciding that I have to be in charge. She called it “followership” a phrase that I had never heard before and now LOVE. She said “in order to understand leadership, we must understand followership”. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, angels came down to our Panera coffee table. Not really, but it was one of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time.
Are you following more than you’re leading?🌲#whygustavus

Yesterday, I heard someone complaining about the sunshine. “It’s too bright”. Earlier in the week, I heard them complaining about the cloudy, rainy, overcast climate we’ve been experiencing.🤷🏽‍♀️ Filling space with negativity, complaints, cynicism or drama, is just as exhausting for you as it is for everyone else around you. Even little, positive, motivate-everyone-else me is guilty of this at times. 😐

Today, be positive. Hold your tongue when you feel a complaint or something with bad vibes wanting to come up. Approach your day as a “glass half full” kinda gal and lead with your light.💡 We ALL have a light within us that just might brighten someone else’s day.🌲

In other words, and to quote Drake, god’s plan. 🌲

Reasons why I could’ve quit training for the 10 mile: time, tripped and ripped my knees open, unexpected injury 1 week before, rain, laziness, ”busy”, lack of confidence, boredom, fear of failure, bought expensive running shoes that sucked, got a weird rash, chafing, missed a training run, saw someone running faster than me, too hot, too cold... 🙃

Reasons why I kept going: I keep my promises to myself, I want to lead by example, I looped my sisters into doing it with me, to show my last-year-self I have improved, Hebrews 12:1, too-close-for-comfort crash landing, challenging myself to do what I can while I am able after watching a crippled woman climb a vortex in Sedona... the list goes on, and it’s so much more powerful than my excuses.💪🏽 Find your why. Find the thing that makes your excuses disappear or at least take a back seat once in a while. Be your biggest competitor. Value yourself enough to commit to what you want out of life.🌲

When your sisters are just as crazy as you and agree to run 10 miles with you..💯 Also, shoutout to the greatest fans of all time @dangerousdeaner @sblaisdell16 @sassstrom 💗#tc10mile

Finally getting around to reading @msrachelhollis book “Girl, Wash Your Face” and I can’t stop thinking about one chapter in particular. 📚

In chapter 2, she talks about making promises and keeping commitments. First and foremost, with ourselves, but also with those around you.🔗 Your words only mean so much. It’s the consistent (or inconsistent🧐) actions that you take that really make up your character.

We all know those people who say one thing, maybe even promise something to you, and then they do something completely different.😣 We all also know those people who’s words and actions are always lined up. They are respectable, easy to trust and admirable.💪🏽 So, who are you lately? How are you showing up? What can someone tell about you based on your actions?🤷🏽‍♀️ I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, but I’ve also been noodling on this scripture as I think about the type of person I want to be: “Therefore, since we have been made righteous through his faithfulness, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have access by faith into this grace in which we stand through him, and we boast in the hope of God’s glory. But not only that! We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:1-4‬ ‭✝️ Endurance, or consistently showing up in a way that words and action align, builds character. Character is important.✔️ Tell me: who do you admire most & why?🌲

Let yourself be happy now. It’s easy to worry about what might happen or how things could change. If you’re happy in this moment, be happy.
It’s fitting that this has been on my mind this week and this is what I am reflecting on this morning:
Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6:34 ✝️ . . . . . . . .

Everyone will tell you how to write your story, but no one will actually write it for you. Isn’t that silly? We spend so much time listening to the “how” from others, like its liquid gold spewing from their mouths. And yet, when it comes time to actually do something about the “how”, they are no where to be found.🌚 You already know the “how” for yourself. You don’t need be opinions of others to answer the questions you might have about your life.💪🏽 Just take a knock on your heart’s door. You’ll be a welcomed guest!🌲

A theme this week with my clients was what society says we should do/be doing versus what we really want. 🤷🏽‍♀️ We judge ourselves so much. We underestimate what we want for our lives, especially when it goes against the ‘norm’. 👎🏽 I used to do this a lot. For me, it would show up in the form of comparison and trying to impress people (usually authority figures like parents, bosses, etc). 😣

This judgement is complete BS. What we want in life and for our lives has deep meaning to us. What other people / society want for us really has nothing to do with us at all - it is a perception and it doesn’t have to be our reality.

If you’re currently struggling with feeling like you’re behind or not where society says you should be, here’s something to try.
Make a list of what your #head says about the situation and what your #heart says. Notice the BS that shows up in the head column. Notice how much you resonate with what shows up in the heart column.
And just a friendly reminder, you are exactly where you need to be! 🌲

Today was a shorter run. The entire time I felt like I was going so fast. I thought for sure I finally looked like one of those “runners” I admire so much. I get home and check my results - I was actually slower than my long run on Saturday. It was nothing to write home about.

But then, per usual, I started thinking. Does it matter more how I felt or the actual results? Can feeling good about something cause significant improvement (I.e in this instance, endurance, speed, strength). What do you think?🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ve decided to forget about the results for tonight and keep living in my dream land where I looked like Usain Bolt. 🌲

8 miles down this morning! Less than one month to go until the #tc10mile 🌲

*NEW BLOG POST!* When I first started working in the “real world”, my co-workers and I would think of some crazy, off-the-wall situation that could happen and then would joke about how it would be “career limiting”. 😂

Of course these would be things we would never do but what about the things we might’ve been doing that were actually holding us back? 🤨

This week’s post is 5 career mistakes you might be making (and what to do about it!). Click the link in my bio or head to www.evermecoaching.com/blog 🌲

Watched “Miracle” for the first time tonight with this guy and basically fell in love with him all over again. It’s so fun to watch people in their element & passion!😊Hope you all had a great Labor Day Weekend!🌲
