YES! Your choice means struggle is ahead!

The last post left off saying if you need help, hire a professional. This can be an easy choice, a hard choice, a big choice, or little choice. It all depends on the woman’s perspective. It also depends on how much she values the experiences she wants to have with her body in her life. When you invest with a professional, you’re not hiring them for anything else except to give you the EXPERIENCE you want to have. My guess is that you want it to be a positive, happy, confident experience. For my clients, they want to experience a healthy, active, strong, confident, non-miserable pregnancy and rock their labor and delivery to the best of their abilities! Those are ways of feeling that come from strength training and coaching. They’re choosing to struggle (because exercising means moving heavier than normal weights, sweating, breathing heavy to overcome obstacles aka the workouts) for the reward (stronger bodies, more endurance, stronger heart, more confident, etc).

Let me elaborate on that (and the title) through an infographic.

Everything you do is cyclical. Every choice you make is made because you want a specific outcome. You want change. As SOON as you make that choice, some type of investment has to be made. Be it time, energy, money. Once those two things have happened, now the work begins.

NOW THE WORK BEGINS!!!

Struggle starts. Hard work. Classes. Exercise sessions. Educational classes. Private coaching sessions. Let me tell you…all these things….are HARD WORK! Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually.

Guess what? It’s ONLY through the struggle; the time, the money, the energy investment, DO YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT. You’ll get the desired experience or the feelings you want to feel. The sense of overwhelming accomplishment ONLY comes after you put the work in.

Guess what? Once something new comes up and growth/expansion is necessary, the cycle starts over. This time though, you know you’re stronger, smarter, more confident. You’ve struggled before and you’ll struggle again for that GLORIOUS feeling of success.

In the next post I’ll talk more about the outcome of keeping my mouth shut. Bad things ladies, bad things.

Dedicated to your happiness,
