What in the world do stinky armpits and the journey toward health have in common?
You know how real I love being with you, so here's another “REAL” Marna experience I'd love to share with you….
Today I was at my new 5:30 hot-yoga class. I was dripping with sweat in my usual fashion, when all of a sudden I smelled a not-so-yummy-smell.
I looked to the person on my right, nope. Then to the person on my left, nope, it wasn't her either. It was at that moment that I realized it was ME!
Oh NO! I forgot to wear deodorant. Ooooops.
Even though I was a little embarrassed, I didn't hang out in that space of embarrassment or negative self-talk like I would have in the past.
In the past I would have thought that I should be more organized, that I should be smarter, or it would just be one more tick mark to show how IMPERFECT I was.
Yet today I just thought “Ooops. I forgot deodorant. But you know what, I'm so darn proud of myself that I woke up at 5am to get here. My body looks awesome – it's so worth it.”
I share this with you because sometimes striving for what you want doesn't look pretty, smell pretty, or is anywhere near being pretty.
If you're like me, you want to be in great health and many of you have shared with me that you want the journey to amazing health and fitness to be: beautiful, fun, easy and care free.
Well….let me honest with you…
Getting into the best health of your life is ALL about going to places where you've never gone in your mind, body and spirit.
It's about getting out of your comfort zone and learning that you can be SAFE and PERFECT in your discomfort.
It's also about SHOWING UP AND TAKING ACTION when you don't always want to because consistently showing up and taking action IS what gets you results – and gets you results fast!
Consistent Action = FAST RESULTS
Being a little stinky, a little uncomfortable, a little disorganized and a little out of your element is all worth it when you shower, get dressed and feel strong, beautiful and attractive.
I can't think of anything else that makes you feel amazing all day long! So you know what, my stinky armpits today were totally worth it. 🙂
I'd love to hear your embarrassing and funny story as you are moving toward your health and fitness goals…
