Reflection and Lessons
It’s that time of year when I like to go back and reflect about all that has happened. That way I can plan and prep for the upcoming new year as well as create my top 3 goals. Reflection is a great tool not just professionally, but also personally. I look at what went well, what needs improvement, and then I develop a plan of attack to do better the upcoming year. In addition, I think about the lessons I’ve learned. There were two big lessons that really stuck with me. One of the most precious 2021 lessons is to BE MYSELF!
Self Talk
Recently I caught myself looking in the mirror telling myself… “That shirt used to fit so much better,”
“Gosh, my midsection isn’t as tight as it used to be” (as expected seeing that I’m currently 9 months pregnant), “Where the heck did all of these gray hairs come from!?” Yep, I’m not perfect and what you see is what you get. ANDDD I too struggle. Probably because I’m human… JUST LIKE YOU.
What’s really empowered me (and this has been a huge lesson for me) is that I’m okay. Nothing earth shattering, right? But it’s true. I’m okay even through the storms; and that I’m not defeated, I can work through challenges, and I can love myself through them. Because after all, there is only one me! That’s exactly what I see our Transform Fit Family embracing. Becoming the best version of THEMSELVES. Living their values! Reaching for their goals! Focusing on what is important to them! Not getting side tracked and playing the comparison game!
Your Choice
Besides being myself/yourself, another 2021 lesson is that even though life will throw you curveballs and unexpected challenges, we have the power. We control the steering wheel. And through the challenges we have the CHOICE to stay true to our values. We have the choice to continue to RAISE the bar and GROW! And most importantly we have everything in us to rise to the occasion and become who we’ve always dreamt of being.
These were my 2021 lessons, let’s hear yours. What is one lesson you’ve learned in 2021?
