QUOTES ON BEING PRESENT:
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.”― Jan Glidewell

The beauty of this day doesn't depend on its lasting forever.”― Marty Rubin

No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.”― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.”― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
9 WAYS TO PRACTICE BEING PRESENT
Practice #1: Stop, close your eyes and be grateful.

(Smell the grass, feel the breeze, watch the leaves on the trees, study your children’s eyes, etc.)

Practice #2: Have more fun.

(It’s impossible not to be present when you are having fun)

Practice #3: Train your confidence.

(When you are in a state of confidence you are not anywhere else – you are not in the past, beating yourself up for mistakes or follies, and you are not in the future, anxious or worried about what might happen that is or isn’t in your own control).

Practice #4: Do less.

(Put space between things, change your expectations on what needs to get done, and focus less on achieving and more on enjoying the process.)
Practice #5: Move your body.

(To become aware of your breathing and your heart beating)

Practice #6: Give Generously

(Shift your focus from you to others and find a way to give in any way that you can.)

Practice #7: Reframe Happiness

(Reframing happiness – let go of the “when” attached to it)

Practice #8: Savor Intentionally

(Food and life and people)

Practice #9: Chase beauty.

(Marvel at the world, at character, at goodness, at the things that slow you down and fill up your heart – for they are the richness of the world, greater than any tangible currency of wealth.)

LISA DRUXMAN BIO
In 2001, Lisa Druxman became a mom and an entrepreneur. She was looking for a way to blend her passion for fitness with motherhood. “I decided to create a workout that I could do with my baby,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to miss a moment of his new life but also knew that I needed to take care of myself.” It was one beauty of a brainstorm. Lisa created an exercise routine for new moms and realized that other mothers would benefit from working together to restore their well-being.

Now she leads a business that brings exercise, companionship and support to tens of thousands of moms around the country. Stroller Strides grew over the years and added Fit4Baby (prenatal classes) and Body Back (classes for any stage of motherhood). All of the classes now make up the FIT4MOM brand. Lisa Druxman and FIT4MOM have been featured numerous times on NBC’s Today Show, CNN, The Montel Williams Show, Access Hollywood and profiled in magazines such as Entrepreneur, Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Self and more.

The women who run the 1,500+ FIT4MOM class locations share Druxman’s passion for a business that gives top priority to family. “Our franchisees are not just fitness professionals. They are everyone from stay at home moms to teachers to nurses. So many moms are out there looking to have a business that’s supportive of motherhood.” Lisa Druxman, M.A. is a nationally recognized speaker and author and considered an expert in the field of fitness, particularly pre/postnatal fitness. She is best known for her outlook on raising healthy moms and healthy families.

Druxman earned her Master's degree at San Diego State University in Psychology with an emphasis in exercise adherence and weight control. She created the weight management program, L.E.A.N. Mommy® (Learn Eating Awareness and Nutrition) which is also the name of her book, by Hachette Books.

QUOTES ON LETTING GO:
"Everybody thinks of changing humanity, but nobody thinks of changing himself."

- Leo Tolstoy

"No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful, or greedy - unless you let him."

Napoleon Hill

"The control center of your life is your attitude." Anonymous

POSITIVE CONTROL:
POSITIVE THINGS YOU CAN CONTROL
Your breath

Your attitude

Your beliefs

Your self-talk

Your gratitude

Your perspective

Your body language

Your habits

Your physical fitness

Your mental fitness

Your nutrition

Your relationship with food

Your relationship with your body

Your relationship with yourself

Your rest
NEGATIVE CONTROL:
There are some things we can control and some we can’t, learn which is which.

When I am trying to be in control over things of which I truly can’t have control over, it is: OVERWHELMING and FEAR-BASED. It is LIMITING because it becomes all-consuming

Additionally, other negative control attempts of mine are PERFORMANCE BASED (perfectionism) and FALSE SELF-GRANDIZATION (trying to play God and fix everyone), both of which are EXHAUSTING, UNSUSTAINABLE and LEAD TO NOWHERE. They all lead to the same, unsettled, fearful and anxious feeling of insignificance.
THINGS WE CAN’T CONTROL
What others think of us

What other people say

What other people do or don’t do

What actually happens circumstantially in life

What happens in the world around us

What happens in the future

What has happened in the past

How other people take care of themselves

How other people put boundaries around toxic behaviors

How we age

How long we actually live

How our body type expresses itself
GOD’S GOT YOU:
Letting go of control is a spiritual process and spiritual development.

There is an art to surrender – and I don’t know about you, but I want to approach this life like it is a work of art, because it is. We are the craftsmanship of God.

Letting go of control reminds us that we are human

PERFECTIONISM BE GONE
EPISODE #175
In this week’s episode of Confidence on the Go, we’re chatting about:

* How to use the The Recovering Perfectionist Manifesto to really start shedding the skin of perfectionism you hide from the world from your mind and thought patterns
* The toxic and paralyzing side-effects of perfectionism and how to recognize if they are manifesting in your life
* The difference between striving for confidence and excellence in being who you were created to be versus striving to be perfect to be who you think you are supposed to be

PERFECTIONISM BE GONE
The purpose of this episode is to help you safely remove almost any stagnating problem and to restore yourself to your original condition – the condition of confidence in being who you were created and intended to be.

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”

― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

“Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.”

― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

“Perfectionism is a self destructive and addictive belief system that fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment, and blame.”

― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

“Healthy striving is self-focused: "How can I improve?" Perfectionism is other-focused: "What will they think?”

― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are
WHAT IS THE RECOVERING PERFECTIONIST MANIFESTO:
I have put together a manifesto for you, and it's one that you can use to start your journey of recovery from the binding and limiting shackles of perfectionism.

Here are the words of the manifesto:

* I am a recovering perfectionist and will no longer use perfectionism as my crutch.
* I have a strong sense of self and know that I am adaptable to whatever comes my way.
* I refuse to expect myself to unrealistically "do it all...
