This week it seems like my To Do List is HUGE: It’s test taking time at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, putting the finishing touches on my Free Detox for Runners, planning and creating a “Fall Into Wellness” Workshop, following up with clients, marketing on social media, getting in my marathon training runs and most importantly sending my only child, Bo, off to Italy to study for the semester. Whew! This kind of list used to send me into a state of overwhelm and panic! Now I am learning to enjoy the journey! Everyone of these items on my list has an element of something I love, therefore I have chosen to embrace and enjoy the tasks at hand!
Taking time to enjoy trying on silly hats during a last minute Wal-Mart run to prep for Bo’s trip!
Be Fully Present and Start Living Your Dream!
Instead of spreading myself all over the place I have learned to prioritize what is the most important thing to complete first. Then I focus on one thing at a time and see it through to completion. This strategy really allows me to enjoy the process because I am fully present and not trying to multi-task. It allows me to see things that I might not have seen before because I’m not rushing around like a mad woman trying to check things off of my To Do List because I have chosen to start living my dream!
Create a Lifestyle You Love and #liveBIG!
The difference maker for me has been choosing to focus only on things I love to do! As a result my work is fun and not some requirement that I dread! Sure there are a lot of challenges with launching a new business, but I have always dreamed of creating a business in the health and wellness industry that I could work from virtually anywhere. I love that it never feels like I am working because I am constantly learning and having fun along the way! I am fulfilling my dream and creating a lifestyle that I love! I am getting to #liveBIG!
Is It Time For You to Stop Rushing and Start Living?
Do you love what you do or do you dread going to work each day? Do you spend the week dreaming of the weekend only to spend the weekend dreading Monday? Do you wish you could develop a second stream of income that is fun, rewarding and will ultimately provide you with the opportunity to live your life full of passion doing only things that you love to do?
If so join me for a FREE #liveBIG Webinar hosted by my mentor, friend and inspirational leader of Enlightened Living International, Elizabeth Rider, tomorrow, Wednesday, September 17th at 7 PM CST. She will be sharing how she grew her health coaching business online to a six figure residual income and how she trains others to do the same. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn from Elizabeth! Mark you calendar now and make plans to join us for this exciting live event.

Hi Beverly! I too have dealt with issues that caused me to develop an auto-immune disease back in 2001. After moving to Arkansas 9 years ago I often found myself feeling really alone because I didn’t know anyone, but then made some local friends. Even after moving over to Little Rock, all of my friends were health coaches. I thank social media for helping me to have people to talk to (friends and family back in Michigan and here in Arkansas) That connection is invaluable. It wasn’t until about a year ago that I realized that if I am under stress I don’t even know it. I don’t really feel it physically. This dumbfounded me because my stress hormone was high, but I didn’t feel bad. Anxiety also acts similarly like fear towards me, but I do feel the butterflies of anxiety now. Working out on a regular basis has helped me to squash stress and anxiety. Plus now, cbd oil has been the biggest and most fantastic way I have been able to cope after being homebound and stuck on the couch since April with a severely sprained ankle. Even getting on a plane (which I hate to do) I had no anxiety at all. I feel super relaxed these days, and finally I am able to begin working out….not running at this time, but I can move and walk a few miles a day now. It has been so helpful to connect with other coaches like yourself and speak more about this. In not speaking about it more diseases can pop up unexpectedly and we never want this to happen. It is time to Heal. Love ya Beverly!!
Great points Heidi! Like you, I didn’t even know I was suffering from anxiety until I sought help sorting through all the craziness in my life. Hmm…CBD oil…who knew! I agree, we need to speak out more. I think too many people put up a front and suffer in silence!
Thank you for sharing your story. You are so brave. If you ever want to compare notes on fear, anxiety, grief, not being able to get out of bed, coping with and without running as your crutch, reinventing yourself, truly finding your faith in Christ; my heart always has time and a place for you and your twin!!! ❤️ Conlin.cathy@gmail.com
Oh I bet you could Cathy! Thank you so much for sharing. I don’t think we talk about mental health enough. I am so proud of you for finding your faith and strength in the Lord. He is ever present, evening our worst storms!
Hi Beverly,
I so miss connecting with you all! I too have very much shared your journey. I’m on the other side of it now but am changing many things in my life wich as you know comes with its own grieving as we leave the old behind. It’s lovely to see you share your story as I know it helps many of us.
Would love to get together again.
Hugs,
Kelley
Kelley I miss you too! Thank you for your kind words and your support. We need to get the Soul Sisters together again!
