Do you have a minute and a half...?

If you do you'll take away some important lessons about life and business from a bunch of toddlers.  

➡️  Stand up, eventually you'll stand out.  This is Jesse Cole's mantra paraphrased.  

"Stop standing still start standing out."
     -Jesse Cole

➡️  Be ENCOURAGING to your colleagues, you are a team… then be COURAGEOUS and lead.  You'll find out who will follow 

➡️  Most importantly...it's not how you start, but how you finish.

This is hard for me to share…

Last week I had a breakdown.

Driving home from the gym, I broke into tears.

2024 has been hard. 

And last week it all felt like it came to a head.

→ 2 clients backing out after committing to coaching.
→ The pressure of trying to manage a team effectively.
→ I feel like I’ve had a year’s worth of work stress in just 3 months.
→ Not to mention the constant financial stress of running a small business.

I’m exhausted.

Everything feels like it’s 1 step forward, 3 steps back.

As someone who has struggled with depression, it’s been a scary time.

So as I was trying to come up with any positives…

I realize there’s been one saving grace…

My health.

→ I’m sleeping better than I have in several years.
→ As a result, my energy levels are sky-high.
→ And my gym performance is great.

As hard as 2024 has been so far…

I have not let that stop me from taking care of myself.

Because here’s the thing…

When going through trying, difficult, or downright sucky times…

This is when you NEED to prioritize your health and fitness the most.

How you take care of yourself directly influences your ability to take care of everything else.

Eating well, exercising, and prioritizing sleep make your body more resilient to stress.

Being more resilient to stress reduces the effects stress has on your body.

The less stress you feel, the better you’re going to feel physically and mentally.

That doesn’t mean you aren’t going to have…

→ Days you feel awful.
→ Post-gym breakdowns.
→ Chocolate chip cookies for dinner.

You're still going to have bad days and weeks...

But what makes them worse? 

Too many people completely abandon their health and fitness during this time…

When the reality is, as hard as it can feel, doubling down on healthy habits makes these periods of life easier.

→ The best tool business leaders and high-performers have isn’t their brain.
→ It isn’t their network or having a big LinkedIn following.
→ It isn’t how much money they have.

It’s their health.

Because the better you take care of yourself…

The better you’re able to take care of everything else.

Don’t let the downs of life take that away from you.
