I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:47  Hello, Be It babe. Happy March 1st. Oh my goodness. Here we are. How fun was it to have a leap year this year? So you are here for the Fuck Yeah Friday episode, which means I'm going to share a win of yours and a win of mine and an affirmation to kick off your weekend with something amazing. So shout out to my mom it's her birthday weekend.Lesley Logan 1:07  So this one is from Lisa Osoteo and she said this is a special FYF because it falls on LL's birthday. Okay, pause. You guys, this is for the listeners, I'm obviously behind on sharing people's FYF. This is from January but we're getting all of them out there as they go. So this one is about my birthday. But here back to Lisa. Okay, so this is my win I thought LL's birthday was on January 24th. So I told my students let's do the Amy Cuddy power pose in honor of LL. They stood there with their hands on their hips owning their fierce. And I thought how cool that I'm part of a community who stands in a power pose with me without batting an eye. I told my class I was going to do 41 acts of kindness that day in honor of LL until my friend, Mandi, informed me that LL's birthday is actually Friday, January 26th and that maybe I should consider spreading out these acts over a few days say, over 41. Mandi is so smart. So now Mandi and I invite all of you to join in on 41 acts of kindness, silly, fun, Be It generosity movement, divine tantrum, humor, creativity, joy, and of course, love to celebrate LL. You can do your inspired action in however many days, 41, and share your unique list with LL. So happy birthday, LL, we love you. Well, Lisa, I love you, and Mandi so much. And actually this is coming out right before you arrive at my house for a retreat. And I can see you and Mandi at a retreat in Cambodia. Lesley Logan 2:32  All right, my win. So I had, two years ago, I had this vision of having a bunch of people in my house for a Pilates retreat. And that meant that they had to be eLevate alumni, which means that this dream was like so in the future because, I thought at least a lot in the future, because I needed to have several people to go through eLevate two and invite to the retreat. And so it took us three rounds of eLevate to get to enough people where I felt like okay, I can invite some. And we're having it here at my house and I pull in all of my equipment I can fit in the living room. And my win is just that. I didn't give up on a dream that's two years ago. And I did all the work that got to where we can make this happen. And my team is behind me all every step of the way. And my family too, because they had to help us move all this equipment out of the room. And so, just want to celebrate because sometimes I think we have these dreams and these visions from so many years ago and when they come to fruition we're just like, oh it just took so long instead of going oh my God, I did that. So that's happening starting tomorrow. So I'm really just so stoked about this win that I'm celebrating it for the people who arrived, but it's just, it's just incredible to sit here in that goal, oh my God, this was a goal from years ago. And I had to do so many different things to get this goal to even be a reality. And I'm so grateful I did it because Lisa is one of the people who is going to be there.Lesley Logan 4:03  All right, the affirmation that I have for you today is this: Sometimes the work is resting. Sometimes the work is resting. What does that mean? It means sometimes we needed to stop working so hard to make things happen and just rest, just sit still, just let it be. So maybe there's something that you've been trying to make happen, a win you've been trying to make happen and that's impossible. So maybe you sit still and close your eyes and visualize that having already happened. And that rest might be the answer. Lesley Logan 4:39  So thank you so much for listening to the Be It Pod.
