Yes- I’m taking a selfie but it’s because I’ve got something to say and couldn’t wait. All my entrepreneur & side hustle girls listen up-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Stop comparing yourself to someone who is able to put 10x more time into their business than you. Being famous in heaven and at home before running a successful business may mean building slow. It may mean having a full book of ideas without being able to implement one. It may mean a season of taking less clients in order to serve them better and honor your priority callings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Different seasons of motherhood, work and ministry bring different approaches. Work hard, give your best and trust God with the outcome. This my friends is grace driven effort. Working like it depends on you but knowing this —> IT DOESN’T. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Drop a 👊🏼 below if you needed that reminder this morning.
“I’m not enough.” “My body isn’t beautiful.” “I’ll never measure up.” “I just wish I looked like her.”  These are just a few of the lies the enemy loves to tells us. In a world that is filled with images of what “beautiful” looks like these are lies that we can start to believe as women, about ourselves and about our bodies.  But I’m here to remind you today sister that your body is good. Your body was made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:27) He formed you in your mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13) He knew you from the very beginning. Your body is His temple. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) Your body wasn’t meant to be a trophy for self glorification. Your body was given to you as a gift to use in order to care and love those around you.  While we can’t change the things that our culture puts out and defines as good, we can change our minds, what we are allowing in and flood ourselves with the truth of God’s word. Jesus is our standard, not the cultures skewed version of women. He is our guide and our focus should be Jesus > the pursuit of perfect bodies.  So today as you workout and move your body, do it from a place that says “I love my body, I want to steward it well and feel good” not “I hate my body and want to look like her.” Honoring our bodies is a spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1) And when you feel yourself tempted to let the world in and Satan tries to feed you lies, run to the Lord and His word. This is where freedom starts and stays, in Christ alone.  
I wasn’t the girl in high school that was naturally thin. I couldn’t eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound. And now I’m not the mom who naturally drops weight fast from post-partum breastfeeding. Here I am 18 months later and I still have extra weight I haven’t lost. My whole life I have had to FIGHT to stay a healthy weight. Every pound lost has been fought for. And while it has been frustrating at times, I am weirdly thankful. Why? Because at a young age I had to begin developing spiritual disciplines in order to stay healthy. Now those disciplines have carried with me into my walk with Jesus, motherhood and business. Something beautiful happens when we start looking at struggles and frustrations as opportunities to learn, grow and see God work in us. —> What’s something you’re currently walking through that is frustrating you but growing you at the same time? COMMENT BELOW and let’s encourage each other to keep going! ⚡️ Remember- we don’t have to do it on our own, we have the strength of Jesus!
Today I want to introduce you to one of my coaches and sweet friends @patricebuller. I wanted to share her story today in hopes that it might encourage some of you:  “Every pregnancy is different. Every postpartum journey is different. EveryBODY is different. I’ve done this postpartum thing a couple times before, but never after losing a child. Never after growing two babies at once. Grace + time + controlling the controllable is where my heart is this time around. It took 7 months to gain the weight, why would I expect or force it to come off in 4?  I’ve been working out consistently for 2 months, but recently needed to make a conscious effort to get my eating back under control. Pregnancy cravings, living the Doordash life 3 meals/day in the NICU, coming back home and navigating living at home again, preemie/newborn life, grief, we were in survival mode!  I feel better the past week than I have in monnnths! When I eat awful, I feel awful no matter how much I’m working out. So here’s to the next 9 weeks of prioritizing my time in the Word, moving my body, nourishing it well, and REST, because rest is essential to health too. And also, my baby adding more chins and rolls 😍 I’m committing to controlling what I can, and giving God the rest. I will show up and give my best and let Him control the outcome!”  Thank you @PatriceBuller for letting me share your story! Go give her a follow for all things faith, fitness and postpartum inspiration. She is SUCH a light! 
So you gave up. You threw in the towel when it got hard. Not because you didn’t have the desire but because starting something new and sticking to it isn’t easy. Maybe this season of life is sucking everything out of you and showing up for yourself just seems impossible.  I want you to know first and foremost that you are not alone but here’s what I DO KNOW of you- you won’t let this hold you down for long. You will get up, push through and by taking SMALL STEPS you’ll start to see BIG CHANGE.  I’ve been working in health and fitness for 7 years now and if I have learned anything it’s that the journey’s that push through the hard are the ones with the firmest foundation. Those foundations often come after months and years of small steps. Not leaps and bounds but concrete and consistent steps. You may feel like working out 3 days a week for 20 minutes isn’t much but let me tell you what sister- you are BUILDING A FIRM FOUNDATION. In the end consistency is what will get you results.  But here’s what I also know- when you give up it’s a lot harder to pick yourself up and jump back in. That’s why committing to small steps in the beginning is SO important. But maybe you didn’t do that, that’s ok.  Today I’m sharing 5 tips to getting back in the game after giving up! Head to fitforhisglory.co (yes-.co) and share your top takeaway below.  Ps: Need accountability in your health journey? I just received 3 more surprise $10 off promo codes for enrollment in our fitness community. One has already been given out but I’ve got 2 for the next two girls who DM me and say they want in! 
Did you know that your day actually begins when you go to bed? You heard it right. Rest begins your new day, not coffee.  Most people get this all wrong. They think that their day starts with their morning activites but it actually starts when you go to bed.  Here’s some interesting insight I learned recently in @waynecordeiro book “Leading on Empty”, “If you ever need to sleep in, learn to sleep in on the front side of the clock, not the back side. Simply said, your depest sleep is when your REM cycles happen, and that typically takes place between 11 pm and 3 am. That is when you will get your deepest sleep. If you miss getting to bed before 1 am you will have missed HALF your chance at receiving your deepest rest. You may think you can sleep until 9 am to get your eight hours of sleep, but you are mistaken. You will have to had the sleep time, but not the rest. Your sleep will be shallow compared to what it could have been and when you awaken just before noon, you’ll feel sluggish and lethargic.”  Anyone mind blown yet? It’s amazing what happens when we cooperate with God’s design! COMMENT BELOW WITH A 🤯 if you learned something new.
