 As it's the first day of the month, so many people, including myself, always state, "NEW MONTH. NEW MINDSET. NEW PLAN" or something to that affect. I'm guilty of it myself - MANY MANY TIMES.

But I'm seeing for myself, that it doesn't matter what day of the week or month you are at, pick THAT day and just do it! It's all in the mindset! I've noticed that most of my posts here lately have been dealing with mindset. So apparently, I've been dealing with this topic for quite some time! I know that it will finally "click" with me - but it all starts in just setting my mind to workout that day. Or eating "on plan" or just eating clean. One day at a time. One meal at a time. One workout at a time. 

I've been reading a book by Gary Foster, PhD titled "The Shift" and it deals with 7 shifts in our mind to be able to conquer the negativity in our mental vocabulary. I'm writing them down and putting them on my bathroom mirror to remind myself daily of these positive changes to my internal dialogue. The next book I'm reading is by David Goggins, "Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds". THAT one is going to be a powerful one and looking forward to diving in!

We all know that this journey is NOT an easy one. You know the line:  If it was easy.... EVERYONE WOULD BE DOING IT - Right?!  But each of us has our own path, pace, and changes to go through in order to be healthy: mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. It takes time. I have to keep reminding myself this and allowing to show myself grace when I fall is HUGE for me. I'm an all or nothing mindset kinda girl and I'm slowly changing that to doing the best I can for that day. Not to focus on the HUGE goal set before me, but just the small ones for that week or even day. I would also suggest getting Julia Rene's journal book called, "Know Your Power" (you can get it on Amazon and it's AMAZING and so helpful with this)!

So let's make this day, week, and month be the best that we can make it to be on our journey! Let me know and comment how you are doing - how I can encourage you - what you want to see more of on this blog - let me know you were here! :)
