90. Eat Pizza and Still Make Progress

Today’s episode of Balance with Sam is a recent recording of a group coaching call with my amazing girl gang. We talk about recent wins and individual struggles that have come up within the group through the month and discuss everything from internal/external motivations to what foods are “worth it” for us (spoiler- for me, it’s pizza!) Top Takeaways You are your purpose. You may feel like you need it to be more than that. But your life experience is your purpose. That’s all you ever need to be. One practice I love is making a life mission statement. Imagine if you were your own company. What would your mission statement be? Write it down on a sticky note and have it in on your desk. It will remind you why you’re doing what you’re doing. Who you are showing up for and why. It will affirm you are your purpose. To motivate yourself, motivate and uplift others. Sometimes when we need something, giving to others fills our cup with what we are filling for them. For example, instead of saying, “I'm going to wait until somebody motivates me”, think, “ I'm going to motivate somebody else right now. I'm going to inspire somebody else right now”. Create your own opportunity and use this time for “being”. Remember, every day you get to get a little closer to being the type of person that you want to be. Think about that future version of you. What would she be doing right now? Would she be making these certain choices? What is her heart? Turn inward right now and be in this “messy phase” of not knowing and enjoy it. Do things that make you feel good until you have some more clarity and some more answers. Use this time to sculpt the person you want to be.
