We Can Do Hard Things

Today I got the 👍🏽 from y’all that we have interest in a wellness challenge! As my brain goes toward creating it I recognize that I need to balance this challenge with your lives.

It is called a Challenge for a reason. It will require work, sacrifice, discipline, and more work. The title of this blog is how I want us to go into this challenge. Believing in yourself, remembering that change requires challenges and if it were easy, you probably wouldn’t need or want a challenge. You would already be doing all the things.

Our lives are a sequence of consequences of decisions we have made and make every single day. I don’t remind you of this to stress you out, but rather EMPOWER you to create the life you want to have. Life doesn’t happen TO us, it happens as a result of choices we make. We are not bystanders in our own life, we are the authors, creators, investors, builders, and product of our lives.

Take some time tonight/tomorrow to reflect on the choices you make that bring you closer to the life you would like to lead. How did you “invest” in yourself today? Did you get enough sleep? Drink enough water? Did you work your body the way it is intended to work? Did you take at least a few minutes for yourself in peace and quiet? Did you feed this incredible machine called your body foods that will build it, fuel it, heal it? Or even simpler, do more good than harm to it? 😂

This whole journey we call life is a process of learning what “works” for us. It is my dream for the members of our community to learn what works for them long before the 13 years (my CF Journey) it has taken me to learn what works for me.

I love you and believe in you.

UPDATE: Today marks 71 Days of committed movement for my sister Marian! I am so so proud of her AND SHE is proud of herself 🤗.
