Feeling like after a year and a half of making a podcast it was time

to step into it.

Sometimes our hobbies shape itself in many ways in our life, but do not feel embarrassed to pick up something you once put down.

Being consistent even if you "fall off".

This episode highlights where I'm at in my life, how I'm starting to handle my next chapter and informing my decisions to think about where my currently values are. It was easier for me in college to know myself, but stepping out of college being 20 something I have found it harder to find my values and how they guide me through my days.

Finding out what brings me peace is a lot of what my next chapter is all about .

I'm here to talk about how to help that motivational gap, how to keep moving through your goals and wants for the year. I'm a huge believer that we do not give enough grace to OURSELVES. Understanding the balance between motivating yourself, but also giving grace to yourself. It's okay to fall back and give yourself wiggle room. 

This can be a really hard time in life to continue with the goals you have set for yourself for New Years. Kickstarting the New Year with goals can be so exciting because it's a reset button, it's an opportunity to start fresh and set your mind to something new. I love the feeling, I am a big fan of New Years Resolution goals and setting myself up. I am also going to be real for a second and say by the 3rd week in January my motivation starts slipping. I start thinking "oh i'll just wait for next month to start my workout journey" and then I feel bad for not keeping with it and so on - it's a trickle effect.

How many times have you been a victim to fear stopping you from doing something? Fear is powerful my friends and it will sit with us till we step up and realize that fear doesn't have to be scary. Acknowledge that some things in life ARE scary and you might dive deep into something new and still feel fear, but you're still stepping forward. Listen for that extra boost of kicking fears ass, listen to move through fears and start really chasing what we want. If I had let fear hold me back EVERY time, I wouldn't be where I am today. Almost all the situations that I was fearful to step forward in, but still did it anyway...those situations changed my life. Step on the other side of fear with me.
