Coaching Gratitude
Last week something crazy happened. It was my one year coach anniversary and to tell you the truth since then I have been kinda lost for words. A year ago, I decided I loved Beachbody products so much that I wanted a discount (coaching does that) AND I wanted to help the people who meant the most to me in life (coaching does that). I wanted to help all my friends & family...I had found a gold mine and wanted to share it with them too. For 4 years, I had basically done this healthy lifestyle on my own and so I went hunting for a Beachbody team that was consistent and who were in it for the long term. I wanted to find people who were as addicted as I was to healthy living. I wanted ladies who loved to workout and eat well (most of the time but still have their treats every once in a while). A group of ladies who shared the same passion as myself or who were beginning to share that same passion. I found THAT team and so much more and this is where I start getting lost for words. I never dreamed that something like this existed. People lose motivation. Heck, I've lost motivation in the past (for days and honestly even months). But I don't anymore. When I'm feeling a bit low or a bit lost all I do is check in with these ladies in our own accountability groups. I check in with them with personal messages and heck even some phone calls. Last year, my entire team worked out during Christmas holidays! And guess what? So did I...but it was my first year doing that - not many people are that dedicated. It was a way for me to bring myself to the next level (which is something I am continually doing). The friendship and support is something that I've never experienced before...at least not at this level. A group of strangers have made a strong team who lift each other up and helps each other every single day. Sounds too good to be true right? But it isn't. It is true. My favourite part about coaching is helping others get on the right path and seeing them blossom and get to the goals they set out to accomplish. Once people get the desire to live a better life they quickly realize what they were missing this entire time (I was in that SAME boat a few years ago). Surround yourself with the people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel. Energy is contagious. As I said, initially I started coaching just to help family and friends but my very first client was a complete stranger from Ontario and it was in my first week or two of coaching (I hardly knew what I was even doing). It made me realize that social media is powerful thing and that I could help more people than I ever imagined.
I've gained a lot of knowledge during my journey and I am continually learning. I love being able to pass this information into others who need the help and I know I have so much I can offer them. I don't just set someone up with a program and leave them do it on their own. I coach/help them every day assuming they need/want the help (I can only coach/help people who want it). I can't do the work for someone but I can definitely hold their hand during the process. I'm a giver at heart and coaching lets me give to people who really need and want the help along with programs that have a guarantee success (if they are done and don't sit in the corner collecting dust - seriously, there's a money back guarantee if you don't get results). Sometimes you just have to go for it whatever 'it' is in life. Coaching was tugging at my heart for months before I decided to do it. I just want to help people finally feel good again. You don't know how terrible you feel until you start feeling good. And I'm able to help people feel good. I may not be the medical doctor I once thought I was going to be but I'm still able to help people and that's what I really want in life.
Give Kindness and do good because you can. Because the world needs more people who do. And there's no better person to do it than you.
