Deciding What's Important

In this week's podcast, Becca and I talk about finding your "why".  Finding that reason to workout or eat healthier.  Take a listen, if you haven't already. The entire discussion really made me think about the difference between just doing the mental/emotional work because it's what you are supposed to do and going 100% all-in. 

For me, I know that I spend a lot of time talking about what to do, planning what to do and doing it. I do the "thing" so I can check it off my to-do list.  I crave that feeling of accomplishment.  But sometimes, that feeling comes with a cost.  I put in more effort on quantity than quality.  I do the work without learning along the way.

What would happen if I gave it my all?  What if I put the effort into making the right choices, even if it means my checklist is undone?  What if I REALLY gave everything I had to this pursuit of wellness?

As you look at your own life, where are you just going through the motions?  What area of your life could you go all-in to achieve your goals?  What does that look like to you?  Can you decide that it's important to you and worth giving it everything you have?

There is a quote that sums this idea up pretty well.  "If it's important you'll find a way.  If not, you'll find an excuse." -Ryan Blair.   So, let's do this together.  Let's pick something and go all-in and see what happens!
