So excited to have you listening today! We’re wrapping up our warfare series today and I’m introducing something amazing!  I want to make sure you know the 5 things we’ve covered on how to fight back, the literal word of God, name of Jesus, repentance, worship, and communion. Let’s go over a little bit about communion. I grew up with communion being a part of the routine, sing a few songs, do communion and then you’re done. I’ve listened to an author talk about taking communion every day and how she used it in her life. It was really powerful to me. We take it as a family often. We even did it at our Friday bible study and we talked about how it is a reminder to Satan that he lost. And we’re all winners. You don’t have to wait to take communion, you can do it on your time! In part 7 of Adam Young’s warfare series, he talks about the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and it talks about what Satan would be doing now to deceive. It’s a great listen and I highly recommend that you head over and check it out. Another one I recommend is Priscilla Shirer, Fervent. She gives very practical ways to strategically pray and fight against the enemy. I love how she lists ways that the enemy will specifically target you and your family and what it would look like. It’s incredibly powerful and her words are so strong. She is also the actress in the movie War Room which you NEED to watch. Even if you’ve watched it before, revisit it. The message is so strong and powerful. I hope you’ll join the #MarriageInMay Facebook group. We’re having challenges, prizes and more. And if you’ve wanted to refocus on your marriage then this is the time!

You're Worth It!

Spiritual Warfare Wrap Up and BIG Announcement

‼️Week 5 ReCap‼️ We listened beforehand to “The Place We Find Ourselves” by Adam Young episode #46 Warfare Part 5 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/warfare-part-5-addressing-accusations/id1373926216?i=1000449100112  The first tactic in waging war is paying attention to what you are hearing and then determining the source of that voice.  The tone and the voice of the accusation matter. If you are feeling defeated, deflated, condemned, that is a voice from the enemy. There is way more going on below the roots of accusations in lies that you have believed from when you were younger. And so whatever you're feeling now, it's not new. It's time to fight back against these accusations and send the enemy away!   “So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭TPT‬‬ How to combat spiritual warfare ———————————————— *Word of God *Repentance *Blood of Jesus/Communion *Praise/worship *Name of Jesus “The greatest trick the devil ever played is convincing the world he doesn’t exist.” Daily Kairos Link- https://dailykairos.com/jessica-hefley

Spiritual Warfare Part 1

Just over a week ago now we got a Peloton bike. So grateful and excited! If you go to their website, there's a two to three month back order and I'm so thankful that my good friend was willing to sell hers so we got one quickly. There's this cool idea. Like I decided to think I talked to you guys about this briefly. I'll tell you real quick as a reminder. I'm working with my trainer twice a week and then by needing to get cardio in on my off days. And I just local spin class, loved it, sweated a bunch, felt like I was really doing some toning exercises and getting cardio in. Our good friends delivered it to us and  Rob brought it in the house and put it right in the living room. The main floor of our house has the bedrooms and my office, kitchen, dining room. Like everything we use regularly on is on the first floor. Like we've got a row machine, an assault bike machine, a weight bench. Rob has worked hard to set up a nice workout space. But it could be a week or two before I even go down there.  So out of sight, out of mind, right? But he rolled that Peloton bike right out there in the middle of our living room where the TV is and their couches are and it’s open concept to our kitchen. The bike is right there in the middle of the living room and the kitchen, just right in the way of everything.  It got me laughing the other day because I walked by it like I do, you know, 30 times a day. And I was like, Oh, I need to get on that Peloton bike. So I made the time to go to do that because I literally ran into it as I was walking across the room. And it reminded me that if, if we had put this downstairs I may not get on it as often or at all.  But it is a right in our space. But I kind of like it because when things are out of sight, they're out of mind. When I see it every day, I'm reminded, Hey, I can hop on here and do a quick 30-minute ride. Even if I worked out with my trainer today, I could hop on here real quick and do a ride since it's literally right here. It just made me think about the culture in the world right now, like out of sight, out of mind, I'm going to give you this little tip for you. The simplest things are the most profound. There are certain things in your life you need to put right in front of your face. And so you are reminded, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. So you see it every day. And there are certain things in your life you need to hide. There's a lot of things I don't like about Facebook right now, but on Instagram, they give you an unfollow button. Are you aware of this? You all have to protect your energy, protect your sanity, and above all else, protect your peace. So let's think about really quickly, the things in our life that we need to put out of sight and the things that we need to put back into our sight, whether that's putting your workout equipment where you literally step on it every morning or let's talk about some more positives real quick. What are some things you need to put in sight all the time? Put that Bible out there on your kitchen counter, right by where you grab your drink, the coffee machine, put it out there, put it in sight where you can, you can catch that glimpse as your coffee is brewing. Even though you're running late and you're getting the kids out the door it's right there. And you can look at it real quick. I told you guys before this, but I love to have scriptures and sayings and positive things all over my house. I did a whole episode a couple of weeks ago about how I printed out the picture of this girl, Chontal Duncan. who I do not know, but she is six-foot, one or two, taller than me and has muscles and the body that I'm trying to work towards. The body I always thought I couldn't have because I'm so tall. But since I see it, it's in my sight. I believe it more. I think about it more. I focus on it more and it inspires me more.  Let's talk about some negative things. Some things we could maybe get out of our sight. This is a super tangible example. Just being real candid with you guys, I've voted for Trump and someone, who doesn't know me, on social media called me a white supremacist. And I was just like, really? But then it got me thinking what's in their sight on repeat because, for me and my sight on repeat, I follow a lot of people of color who are conservative Republicans. I have a ton of proof that I'm not a white supremacist and who I voted for isn't So it was just like I have on repeat.  I don't know what they're watching on repeat. But it seems like it is telling them a different story. I'm praying for you all and for myself, for wisdom and discernment and all things that there may be some things that we've always trusted to be truthful but it's not. When I pay attention to some people that you really, really trust and respect and who have the same biblical worldview as you. There are a lot of people that may be famous or in Hollywood, or have a lot of influence or have a lot of followers. I'm not telling you to trust what they have to say. I'm asking you, who is somebody that you want to be like in all areas of life? Not just one area, because they're talented, I'm talking about in their homes, in their families, in their church and how they, not just proclaim God or Jesus, but they live that out as a disciple. I would pay attention to that. I want you guys to have fresh eyes to see the things that you need to have more in your sight and fresh eyes. See some things that you need to have out of your sight and do make the effort to get them out of your sight!  

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Have you ever listened to a podcast where the host starts the podcast off by saying, I do not want to record this episode? I'm just going to keep it real. It is November 4th, 2020 the day after election day. I am exhausted as I‘m actually sure that I'm not the only one that feels this way. Usually, we're like, Oh, I bet nobody else is feeling the same way I'm feeling. No, I'm pretty positive. Almost all of y'all are feeling exhausted today. First of all, physically exhausted. Cause you probably stayed up later than you did for New Year’s Eve.  I just remember when I was a kid, watching TV on election night. And I remember seeing the red and the blue and you know when you're that little, you still don't even understand what's really going on or the significance behind it. But it was like the excitement of watching updates and finally seeing the winner. And I remember seeing the presidents give their speech and they all were inspirational and inspiring. There's just something special about the new leader of the world. We let our oldest stay up and watch the results last night which means the kids slept in and we were just late to school and after Rob came back laughing. He said there were so many people who are late to school drop-off. He said that’s cool there are so many people late because that means everyone was staying up watching the results.  I made a video on my first, all Facebook wall yesterday and just had the giggles because yesterday I wasn't this exhausted. I was just having a really good day. I had an impromptu lunch with a couple of friends for lunch who share the same political views as me. We just got to talk about things. That was just refreshing to not have to filter and talk candidly. Yesterday I was blaring, God bless America and I'm Proud to Be an American. I blared it on the way to take my son to school. And I was singing it at the top of my lungs and he was laughing and I was laughing and it was just fun. It was a highlight moment.    I was avoiding today's podcast, I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted physically because I stayed up so late. I am exhausted emotionally, and I am exhausted spiritually. And I feel like I have been battling since the beginning of COVID lockdowns. I've never prayed more in this season of my life than I have in my entire life. And I guess, I wasn't worried about the election. I just thought it would be over. But it's not yet. I mean, technically whatever your interpretation of it is, but I'm exhausted.  My sweet, sweet assistant who keeps me in line in this season, when life has been so not organized by the books, just asked are you going to record that podcast? But I almost just said play an old episode. But then I came upstairs and I was praying and listening to the Lord and I just don't feel like I can just pass on this one because as I teach you, leaders are not avoiders, and I want to avoid doing a new episode today. But I'm not going to do it because God has given me an influence. God has called you to this influence. I’m just going to be real about the tension where I'm struggling with because I never want to say the wrong thing. But my tension right now is between, and I want to know if you guys can relate, is that like half of me wants to fight for what's right. And operate in my authority in Christ and what I pray for.  I want to educate people and I want, what's true to come to light and that's my like, fight inside. And then my other side is like, God is in control, Jesus. We just need to rest. I voted. There's literally nothing else that I can do but pray. And so I just need to shut up and pray and only shut up and pray. And so there are these two things, right? And then I was reminded that Satan is the God of confusion and Satan loves confusion because if he can confuse people that will cause division. That will cause people to be too vocal or too quiet. And so just as a red flag for you to check yourself as I'm checking myself if you're feeling confused, that is a red flag to pause. It's like this warning sign to rest and go ask the Lord what he is saying about this. Not what your best friend is saying about this. Not what your mom is saying about this. Not what the news is saying about this.  I just wanted to be honest about that because I thought, well, maybe there are some other people out there feeling the same way. But here's what I think is very, very important. Whether you naturally go to silence and solitude and prayer and fighting on your knees or you naturally go to speaking out and fighting for what's right. We usually have one that we're more natural tendency towards. I think the most important thing is, is you need both. I need both. We need both. So whichever one you're not operating in right now, or is not your natural tendency, I'm here to tell you it's not okay for you to just not do the other one. I feel as though there is a time and place for both.  I just want to empower you. I'm saying God can change things. God can change things in a second. I wish we could take a break from contending and praying for our country and our future, whatever side you're on. I thought we could take a break after last night, but this was a great reminder is that it's never over contending for the truth, contending for light contending, for what is good praying your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It's never done.  Today is the day to rest. It's the day to surrender, to trust that God's plan is sovereign, and to be on our knees more than ever contending for the truth. And that is the one thing everybody can agree on is that the truth is made known, every vote that was cast to truthfully and rightfully and honestly be counted. That is all we can do today. So just a reminder, the tension is real, but confusion doesn't have to be real, but the tension is real between the fighting and walking in your authority and helping control a situation or fighting for what's right and true. And then also, resting and surrendering and trusting. We need a happy medium. My prayers have been this whole entire year. Ever since I saw the great division at the super bowl halftime show. Since that moment, my spirit has been like pray for wholeness because I like to pray the opposite of what I don't want to see because what I was seeing in that day was division, division, division, division. And so I'm not going to word and say things, I'm going to pray against division instead. I'm going to pray what I want to see. And so that's it, that might be a word for somebody instead of praying what your mind focuses on. It's just that simple thing. So instead of saying, I'm praying against division, I'm praying for wholeness. And just like in my COVID positive test episode, I am praying that this world is unmasked. I'm praying for healing for our country. I am praying for the truth as we all seek wisdom and discernment and I’m so proud of you guys! If you haven't checked out audible!

I Did Not Want to Record This Episode

A lie that I believed for almost all my life is tall people can't have muscles. I am six feet tall. Through childhood and even college,  I was extremely thin, like really, really, really, really skinny could not even gain weight. Even if I tried, I ate all of the sugar, all the fattening things and it didn’t work.  Almost a year ago, I came across this gal, her name's Chontal Duncan. I don't know her, but she was on an ad on Facebook as I was scrolling. And I stopped because I was like, Whoa, she's tall. And whoa, she’s got some muscle. So I stopped, I saved the picture on my phone. Like I took a screenshot. I went and looked her up, found her,  and was taking and saving a bunch of pictures of proof that it’s possible.  I didn't know it was possible before seeing her. And she has done it. As you know, I hired a trainer about six or seven weeks ago, we're coming up to the end of it. We're about to take our progress pictures, measurements, weights for six weeks. Last night I just reflected, should I stay with the trainer? Should I take a break? Should I do some other things? All of these things are going through my head. But what it really came down to is that I have seen progress, but I'm obviously not like Chontal yet, but I'm really proud of myself and I was like, Jessica, you have got to keep going.  You've only been doing this for six weeks. Imagine where you will be in a year if you stick to it for the long haul. And so I printed out the pictures of her finally, like I actually legitimately printed them out. I've got one sitting right here in front of me. And I taped one in my walk-in closet so I can see it every day.  There's something about seeing what you want every single day, like seeing the end result of what you're working towards. And I've got multiple examples of those. In this one particular picture of her, she is holding balloons that say 36.  So she’s 36 and in great shape. I’ve been saying for a couple of years I would be the fittest I’ve ever been at 38. It was something I wrote almost every day. I am the fittest I've ever been, at age 38. I am the fittest I've ever been at age 38. And I wrote that so many times I saw it almost daily, me writing that I am the fittest I'm going to be at age 38. And then 2020 hits. And I had all these big goals, aspirations, and daily high fives at the beginning of this year, then Rona hit and life changed and I was not consistent. I've been honest about that. Just a couple of months ago, I remembered Jessica, your 38th birthday is coming up and you told yourself that you'd be the fittest you've ever been at age 38.  Then  I made some choices. I started to work out with a trainer. I was on the offense about what I wanted to see my life as. When I look at this picture of her with the 36, I'm past 36, and I'm almost very close to 38. And so I'm, I'm not where I want to be, but I look at that and I think, well, you know what? I would not be where I am today. If I hadn't decided years ago that I'm going to be the fittest, I'm going to be at 38. So it's why it's when you make those decisions on repeat, y'all have heard me talk about this a lot. Repeat, repeat, repeat, and you have to repeat what you want in life. You have to see it. For example, I legitimately printed these pictures out of Chontal and it's been so inspiring for me.  I just wanted to remind you guys about progress. The first couple of weeks, when I started working with this trainer, we have a full-length mirror in our bathroom. I was talking to Rob and asked, can I cover this mirror for a month or for a couple of months? It’s so hard not to immediately look for progress, but that’s not how it works! It’s not immediate. You have to put the effort in for the long run! I want to encourage you guys to spend some time imagining and visualizing the world that you want to see. Visualizing the best possible outcome. Spend some time thinking about that. Spend some time believing that that is possible. Ask the Lord what part you can play in creating that world that you see in the future.  Another thing I wanted to tell you guys is the offense. This week I've just been kind of blah, it's been rainy. We were supposed to do family pictures and it's been really rainy and really cold all of a sudden. And I’m just feeling over it. I've noticed that I've been a little bit blah.  I literally did not feel good. So on Monday, I took a nap, and then since I had decided it would be my last couple of days with the trainer I would make the most of it.  I did not feel good, but I got up and I went downstairs and I did my assault bike for 30 minutes and it was hard and I sweated more than I usually do. I think it was just working on something, working through something, but man, it felt good.  So yesterday again, the rainy mood. And I think it's just the culture and the climate of the world right now. That's really getting to me. I was even texting some friends and being a little bit negative and I was like, why am I being so, blah, then I'd said, Jessica, put on worship music. It's been a couple of days since you had fought against whatever this block is and been on the offense about the world you want to see.  How can you be offensive this week? Do you need to make that post and send that message for your business? What does being on the offense look like for you this week? Whatever you're working towards, whether that's working towards a car or a certain body type or the future you want to see for America, or maybe you need a miracle. I want you guys to all to go find proof that that is possible. If you need a miracle, I want you to find an example of a miracle in the Bible, or you find an example of someone in life who has lived out a literal miracle.  Repeat that every day. When I was first working my business, I was super nervous, but I really believe this was an answer to our prayer in the future. I printed out a picture of the Lexus I was going to get when I hit that rank in the company. I printed out a small one and I taped it inside of my Toyota four runner and a bigger one, and I taped it on the fridge. I had to see it every day. Just like I'm looking at this Chontal girl and I got to see it every day. When I don't want to do it, you look at the picture and when life gets hard that day, you look at the picture and you remember you put that picture up because you believe that it is possible for you.  Even though that may seem impossible for somebody else, somebody else may think you're crazy. You have to visualize it. So find proof of the good. Find proof of what you want to see. Remind yourself that it's possible.  Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat. There is literally something that happens to your brain. Visualize, believe, pray, do your part. This is one day at a time, a daily activity. That's going to get you to where you want to go. It's the small choices that add up to the big results. So y'all this week, show me the pictures. What are you looking at? What's your inspiration? I want you to tag me on social media! I'm proud of you guys and I'm excited about the progress. I'm excited for you guys being on offense, especially in the next couple of weeks. Turn that worship music on and point your heart in the direction. Fight for good!   If you haven't checked out audible! Leaders are readers and audible is an amazing way for you to learn on the go!

Can You See It?

Last week I had the opportunity to go to dinner with several friends and other jewels in the Central Arkansas area. We went to my favorite restaurant and it was so great to get to visit! The conversation turned to what we did before our current occupation in network marketing. One of my friends Kim was saying that she still works some for hospice because she was a nurse before and even though she doesn’t need that income anymore she loves nursing and it’s important to her to be involved still. Another friend Sunnie, talked about how she used to be a social worker, and now she still teaches it because she loves working in that profession. And Carissa spoke about how she always food blogged and how much she loves sharing nutrition and keto information. It made me so happy to hear about that no matter what level of success is reached that they didn’t forget where they came from and what they really, really enjoyed doing. My husband was out of town for a week, and I felt SO busy most of the time. But on Saturday I didn’t have any plans, and I found myself planning a whole vacation! I LOVE traveling and planning trips and exploring new places. And that’s something I’m really passionate about! When I was thinking about what I was going to record the podcast this week it dawned on me that we should be exploring and still using these gifts that we love!   When Rob and I were newlyweds we didn’t really know each other travel style. On vacations, I’m a go go go, person. I want to see all the things! And Rob is so much more relaxed. Back in the day, we didn’t have a huge income but I did travel a lot for my job and was able to use the points to travel on our own. Back then, I planned vacations as we may never go back again. We went to the North East US and listen to everything we packed into our trip… in one week. We flew into Baltimore, then went to DC, then NYC, went to Boston, and went to a Patriots game, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine. And we hit ALLL the spots. I would research everything obsessively. I had a folder with all of our flights, tickets, reservations etc. When we had dinner it reminded me how life-giving it is for me to plan vacations. My next dream trip is Iceland! I’ve got so many ideas and plans for when we can travel there!   I know that so many of you are entrepreneurs and you are working so hard!! And I am SO proud of you! I”m a proponent of working hard, but also PLAYING HARD! Don’t lose your first love!! If you’ve lost connection with the things that light you up, take a step back and be intentional about bringing those things back into your life! If you haven't checked out audible!

Don’t Forget What You Loved Before You Started

Today's I'm sharing my family's personal story with a positive Covid test. Now, this is not everyone's experience, this is ours. I share it to spread hope and respect. I understand that everyone experiences are different and I can only speak on what happened with our family.  The audio comes from a Facebook live video that I shared on my personal page and wanted to share here on the podcast too.  I hope that you'll tune in and listen!  My hope is that you'll take away these points from our story. “Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”. We can all agree that ultimately He wants us 1. Unmasked 2. Healing and Hope from real virus’/sickness/evil 3. Truth (wisdom and discernment Proverbs 3)   “My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover discernment. Don’t ever forget how they empower you. For they strengthen you inside and out and inspire you to do what’s right; you will be energized and refreshed by the healing they bring.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:21-22‬ ‭TPT‬‬ 

Our Story with a Positive Covid Test

My kids are on fall break and we’ve been home relaxing. I remembered Pippi Longstockings and thought I could share it with the kids. Even the intro music was so nostalgic for me! Everything came back to me as I was watching it. Before pressing play all I could remember is that she had red pigtails. As we watched more and more, the movie became familiar. It’s been close to 30 years since I’ve seen it. So I must have watched it so many times as a kid to remember it all! This has got me thinking about what happens to our brains when we repeat, repeat, repeat!  We remember songs and movies because we’ve seen or heard them so many times. I know you are leaders and we’ve got to focus on repeating His word so that we will remember it!  In the Bible, there are 365 verses that have to do with fear. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence! One of my favorite podcasts is Autumn Young’s The Place We Find Ourselves.  If you’ve been telling yourself your entire life that you’re scared or not good enough then it’s not going to solve the problem to read a verse one time and be healed. It takes repetition! I have really been on a “Rattled” kick. Listening to it all the time. Then I find my kids singing it. And I’m singing it. And it’s deep in my heart!  When you go through a whole souls session, you leave with 5 pages of scriptures that you’re supposed to read aloud every day. It goes back to if you believe what the word of God says is the absolute truth. “The spiritual roots of disease” is teaching me that so much can keep us from God’s truth and even cause health issues from our insecurities, fears, pride, anger, or fear.   This is why songs, movies, and stories are so brilliant. They tap into the creative side of your mind and help you remember! In the past, I would read a verse and it wouldn’t stick but putting it to music can help you retain it. If you haven’t watched The Chosen, I HIGHLY recommend it. It gives a great visual to the Gospel. Ask Alexa to play worship music, Hillsong, Bethel or Elevation.

Once Isn't Enough, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!!

So fall is upon us and winter is rapidly approaching. And we need you healthy! You guys are the ones making a difference and adding value to this world and so we NEED you healthy! Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually healthy!! Since I work for a health and wellness company, I wanted to go over some ways to keep you at your best! But I will never tell you that just supplements are all you need to keep you healthy! I’m going to go over three main components to boosting your health.  The first component is your physical health. This is your immunity and defense system! It’s time to pay attention to the food you’re putting in your body, the amount and frequency of your exercise, your supplements, and your clean source of water. There are a lot of things that our culture has taught us about our physical health that I really encourage you to explore and research on your own. Let’s research what is actually in your food and water. Blood sugar balance, inflammation, and gut health are things you need to be paying attention to! Google your health ailment and any of these things and see what the correlations are! If this is an area you’re needing some help in please let me know so I can help! I’ll let you do your own research and how many ailments are linked to these things, but I’m so thankful to be in a company that helps people with these root causes!  The second area of health we’re going to talk about is emotional and mental health. This is such an important part of your overall health! Some ways I’ve worked on my own health in this space are therapy, hiring a life coach, having a mentor, and finding and reading about boundaries to help me gain awareness of why I’m avoiding and why I’m fearing. Another part of this is learning to be still. Meditating on scripture or being mentally still is so important. Your homework on this part is to take a bubble bath without your phone and enjoy that time just being still. Focus on your breathing and clearing away the tension. Let your body relax and let the guilt go and work on prioritizing stillness as part of your health. It’s time to put more focus on this area and realize how much it’s impacting your overall health. The last component we’re going to go over today is your spiritual health.  Your relationship with God is a personal one on one relationship. I believe in having a community in Christ but your relationship needs to be a daily, personal relationship. He wants to talk and spend time with just you! You have to let the living breathing word of God speak to you! Your relationship with Him affects your overall health!  As you’re approaching this new season, I want you to look at these areas of your health and make sure you’re doing all you can to keep yourself in the best shape possible. We need you healthy to teach and show others how to get healthy too! Show the world what you’re doing to get yourself healthy!! You’re a bigger leader than you think you are and I want you to lead by example.  If you haven't checked out audible! Leaders are readers and audible is an amazing way for you to learn on the go!

We Need You to be Healthy Right Now

Have you ever thought that you’re not making a big enough difference? Maybe it feels like you don’t have enough followers or friends on Facebook to really get people to hear you?    I’m going to tell you right now that’s a lie! Check out “You Are the Girl for the Job” by Jess Connelly. If you’re running a business and using social media you might have felt that you needed to keep gaining more and more followers, instead of focusing on your current followers and nurturing your community.    Here are three ways to look at the influence you already have. Serve them, guide them, and love them! Think about your content and how it can serve them or improve their day to day lives. You need to think about how you can love them and make them feel seen and taken care of. And you need to focus on how you can guide them. They look to you for advice and direction! Even if you feel like you’re not an expert, you can still share your story and your truth! Someone else will always know more about a topic than you will. And that’s ok!!   Don’t be more obsessed with gaining more, let’s focus on who is already following you and those that God has already placed in your path!   If you haven't checked out audible!

You Have More Influence Than You Think

One of my goals for the year was to work on my arms and leg muscles so I did something very scary and hired a trainer! Not just any trainer, but a bodybuilder who is very muscular. Now I’m not planning on doing any bodybuilding competitions but I figured it would be best to learn from someone super experienced in that area. I had my first session yesterday and she’s giving me all the things I need to get started like meal plans and measurements.    Now, this is where I’m going to get embarrassed but that’s the point of this episode… I  was rushing around to get to my first session on Tuesday morning. I know that I’m going to work with her for 45 minutes but other than that I wasn’t really sure what to expect. We start off with an exercise band and she shows me what she wants me to do, walking sideways and doing squats. It was SO hard! That band was deceiving and I tried to keep my cool and play it off since it was a warm-up exercise. Then we move to the weight machine and she’s watching me try these exercises. This is uncomfortable for me because I’m not big into people watching when I’m not confident in what I’m doing. But that’s her job to watch and encourage me and make sure I’m doing it correctly. It came time to do lunges down and back and at this point, I’m about to throw up. I’m desperately trying to keep it together but it’s tough. I have to sit down and focus try to catch my breath. I stand back up and go talk to her and finally admit I’m feeling a little dizzy. I told her I was embarrassed because I feel like such a pansy. She explained that it’s part of the process when you first start training.    When I go through the exercises again, she reminded me to do my breathing exercises correctly and I felt much better. But today, I can barely move and walk. All that to say, I felt embarrassed. I wasn’t good at it but embarrassment is a part of life. Way too many people don’t take the next step in what they want to achieve because they’re worried they’re going to be bad at it. Embarrassment is a rite of passage! If you feel embarrassed, keep going, you are doing amazing! I’m so proud of you and you should pat yourself on the back! Look for opportunities, to possibly embarrass yourself, because that’s where the growth comes in! You’re never great when you first start something, but you’re leaps and bounds ahead of the people that are napping on the couch! Last week’s episode covered live videos and why you should do them. In my Instagram stories, I asked if you’re not doing them what’s the reason for avoiding them. And I heard loud and clear that FEAR was the main cause. We can’t let fear or perfectionist tendencies let us stop us from taking the next step in your life! Fear and worries of not being good enough are from the enemy. Replace those ideas with the truth, you’re here for a reason!! I am proud of you and I want you to put yourself out there. Embarrassment is a rite of passage! Come share your embarrassing moments with me on Instagram so we can laugh together! If you haven't checked out audible! Leaders are readers and audible is an amazing way for you to learn on the go!
