How to STAY Motivated

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend. Jeff and I just got back from Cancun and had an AMAZING time there. It was so much fun catching up with friends and learning more about what Beachbody has on the horizon (don't worry, I'll share much more about that soon. It's fantastic!!).

Not sure how to even put the last week days into words. Jeff and I went to Cancun on our honeymoon almost 13 years ago!! This trip came after a lot of life experiences... 4 kids... and lots of hard work. 

This trip was pretty incredible. Sure.. it's nice it was paid for (thank you Beachbody) ...but it's our time together we spent reflecting on what we've learned the last 13 years that made it so amazing. (Ok I feel old!!)


The parties were fun...Seeing beachbody friends was really fun.... But just doing a whole lot of nothin' together was the best part!! I don't know about you but when I get home from vacation it can take me a bit to get back into the swing of things. This has helped me reflect a bit about staying motivated and how important it is to keep working on your daily life that coincides with reaching your BIG goals.

As I mentioned before, you aren't going to reach all of your goals in a single step, but you CAN DO IT!! So how do you stay motivated?? I'm glad you asked!! The next video in my 'Goal Diggers' series is about what I've learned about staying motivated, even with all the distractions of life swirling around. Enjoy!!

Moments Matter

I didn't want a dog. I have 4 kids...they make plenty of messes. But the kids have begged for YEARS!! So sure enough...we got a "Daisy the Doodledog".....

I had no idea how to train a puppy...didn't want to spend patience doing it...but of course...Ya have to. My daughter took on most the responsibility. She loves that dog and the dog loves her back. Daisy sleeps next to (or sometimes in) Her bed. But that also means it has been Caitlyn's job to take the dog out each morning. Sometimes it's as early at 6. 

I am always up....and it's often still dark, rainy, and cold. I'd do it for her...so she could go back to sleep...but Daisy won't go out without her BFF.

So we've made a morning ritual of it. Caitlyn and I sit under the massive Pine tree that shelters us from the rain...wrap ourselves in a blanket..and watch that crazy dog run amuck! We giggle. We sit. And we talk. We watch the mist swirl around the trees.
*
It's 5 ...maybe 10 minutes of my day. In the fresh air..snuggled with my daughter ...who is growing up all too fast.
*
Someday I'm sure the dog will be trained ....and will go out alone. Maybe these moments will end. Maybe my daughter won't remember them....but I will.
*
Moments matter. Being her mom matters.

And I guess I have the dog to thank for it. ‪#‎godblessourcrazydaisydog‬‪#‎momentsmatter‬

This fun and crazy ride we've been on over past two years as a family all started when I decided to become a Beachbody Coach. It has transformed our lives and financial situation to allow me the time to be there for moments like these. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Coach and the awesome things happening in Team RockIt then click here to fill out a brief form. YOU can do it too!!

Motivation Monday: Making Your BIG Goals

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Spring Break here in Oregon has come and gone (sad face) but Spring has sprung! There is new life all around and I can't think of a better time to dedicate yourself to achieving your DREAM LIFE!! I love this quote: "If your dreams don't scare you they aren't BIG enough."

Last week I posted about stepping out of your comfort zone and discovering what is holding you back and BREAKING THROUGH it. What did you do last week to STOP WISHING and START DOING?? 

This post is about what I've learned how to break down being balanced and happy in your daily life that coincides with making BIG goals. It sounds a bit daunting but I'm here to tell you that you CAN DO IT!!

The next video in my 'Goal Diggers' series is about making your BIG goals. Hope you enjoy it!!

Motivation Monday: Your DREAM Life

Happy Monday everyone!!

I love Mondays because it is a chance re-dedicate myself to my goals and make a plan to reach them.

So here is what I hope will be a little motivation to help kick-off your Monday.

You really don't need to be GREAT to start working on your goals and creating your DREAM life... all you need to do is start!!

I am proof that you CAN reach your dreams!! I never imaged life would take me where it has, but with a little bit of SWEAT and  TEARS and a lot of LOVE I have started to realize some of my dreams for my little family. An there is no better feeling!!!

A few months ago I started a 'Goal Diggers' group and I wanted to share the first video about achieving your DREAM LIFE. Please comment on Facebook how you are going to make YOUR dream life a reality!!!
