Default 90 Day Challenge - Day 32

It's Day 32 - 7 days since my last day off - of working out that is -!!! I love today lol!!! I am absolutely exhausted and what an indredible feeling!!! We had a late night last night with the body thoughts coaching group and it seems that I have had lots of late nights this week with issues at work so I am so very grateful that I can take tonight off and curl up with a book.

I was reminded today from an old and dear friend that life it short and we are not here to live a mediocre life. We are here to live an incredible life and the choices we make ,some of which might be very difficult, are necessary on our journey. What holds us back from making tough decisions in life are our fears.

We need to understand that our brains primary function is to keep us safe, so regardless of whether or not our decisions are for the better or for the worse, they are seen with skeptism because our brain cannot interpret them as being safe decisions. So it will try to prevent us from making the change, even if the change would result in a better condition for us.

For me understanding that my instinctive reaction to change is fear helps me to embrace change and adapt more easily. Infact I love that I am trying to protect myself, but now I know that I don't need protection, I need challenge, support and love.

What do you need?
