Do You Have a Vision?

As I am working on my goals/plans/strategies for 2010, I am looking at the following that I have written on the outside of my binder and thought I would share it with you all…I love it! 🙂

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
We ask ourselves,
“Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do that same.

~ Marianne Williamson

Do you have a vision for what you want this year to look like?

One of my biggest goals for 2010 (along with reaching my goal weight of course) is to be able to live a mobile lifestyle.

I dream of travel beginning with Thailand and here is what my binder looks like on the outside:
2010-binder

Do YOU have a vision for the year? What is it?

I would encourage you to choose a quote and/or pictures – something that is visually inspiring to you…would love for you to share them here in the forum!

P.S. The inside of my binder is divided into areas which include a mission/vision statement, an overall plan of sorts and individual tabs for the different areas to focus on.

Do You Deserve a Second Chance?

September 18, 2009 by Paula 6 Comments

The Biggest Loser Season 8 premiered with the theme of “Second Chances”.

Test Daniel from Biggest Loser 7 had been given a second chance to lose the weight that he did not accomplish during his season of the show.

Abby had been given a second chance to discover what it is she is meant to do in her life after enduring tragedy within her family.

All of the 16 contestants of the hit show have come together to grab a second chance at health, body transformation and the chance to really change their lives.

My question for you is this….

Do you also deserve a second chance at transformation? I’m betting that you do and I want to support YOU in that.

Everyone makes mistakes. I’ve made a ton of mistakes these past years as I went from being 10 to 20 to 50 to 100+ pounds overweight. I did not take care of myself or put myself first during those years at all and my weight and health suffered for that.

My second chance (perhaps it was actually my 5th, 6th or more attempt at losing weight) 😉 came when I finally decided that it was now or never….enough talking about it, thinking about it…planning for it. There has to come a time when you simply must decide to treat yourself in a better way.

I’m guessing that you’ve already spent a lot of time thinking about your weight and how much happier you would be if you could conquer whatever it is that is holding you back from digging in to the weight loss journey that you have ahead of you.

I promise that the most difficult piece is making the decision to start and getting through the first few days of your plan…whatever that might be for you.

Are you ready to change your life?

I really believe that it is the small and consistent changes that you can make right now today that will really impact your efforts and create the momentum that you need to JUST GET GOING! Make a decision to choose something small-ish that you can commit to for the next week or even for the next month.

Here are some suggestions of things you might choose to do to jumpstart your weight loss efforts:

drinking 8 glasses of water/day
taking a multi-vitamin daily
walking for 15 minutes/day
10 minutes of stretching – really let yourself be in touch with your body
10 minutes of prayer or meditation to get real with yourself and your feelings

Do you have some ideas of your own? Please do comment below and I’d love to hear the commitments that you make with yourself to begin the journey towards the second chance that YOU deserve!

To YOUR Success,

Paula
