The Mindset Shift

Let’s be honest for a minute here. I’ve totally dropped the ball in so many things recently! This is typically our slow season for our dog training business, but since COVID our business has exploded. We’ve had a lot of dogs and a lot of tough dogs going through our 2 week programs.

I’ve been struggling to try and do it all. Struggling to keep our house clean, homeschool, work 5+ dogs at the house, clean out crates, clean our training area, launch my coaching business, show up for myself in my workouts...the list goes on and on....I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and when I feel that way I tend to just want to burry my head in the sand. (Enneagram 9 here 🙈) But, what’s great is I have the power to dig myself out, I just need to show up. I just need to realize it’s ok to not be perfect because we have a lot going on.
I need to just keep showing up...

I am perfectly imperfect and that’s ok, because we all are!! I am going to try my hardest to show up. To not let the struggles around me keep me from showing up. I’m going to keep pushing, keep learning and striving to be better.

How about you, how are you doing?!

“A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset”

Did you know that even with the worst days you can still have a positive mindset? You can still choose to see the good, you can choose to take control of your thoughts and your mind. But you have to learn to control your mind! 🥰

My mind can wander and used to get bad real quick. But over the years I’ve learned to control my anxiety and not let it get the best of me. Do I do this perfectly all the time- heck no! But I have gotten so much better!

This is 100% my idea of a vacations. Chillin on the couch drinking wine while hubby does the dishes and cooking!
Anyone else?
Chris had done all of the cooking and cleaning this trip! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
What’s your idea of a vacation?!?

What would it look like if we loved ourselves so much that the opinions and rejections of others didn’t shake us.
If we kept going regardless of what others did or thought of us!
What would your life look like if you lived the life you wanted? If you took the risks, and let yourself dream without the thought of what would someone think?
How could we change the world if we just truly followed our hearts?!?

Watching church this morning with and something that really stood out to me was:
“If the devil can’t distract you, he’ll discourage you!”

I thinks so often we feel discouraged or something didn’t go the way we planned so instead of pushing though and instead of doing something that just may impact the world we quit.

Remember the devil doesn’t want us to impact the hearts of others, he’s not interested in helping people. So when our self doubt or a road block comes up- remember who’s lie you’re feeding!
Be bold, be you, because God created YOU for a purpose. You were put on this earth to do great things. Don’t get discouraged. 🥰🥰

I heard this today and it’s so true! 🌻🌻🌻

Our brain is like a garden and our thoughts are the seeds. We can either plant flowers or we can plant weeds! ☀️

What are you planting each day in your mind with your thoughts? Are the uplifting? Positive?

I chose this picture because most of us moms feel like we’re failing or fear we’re not doing a good enough job, or what if we mess up, or I’m a terrible mom because my baby won’t sleep through the night, they throw fits, maybe hit....

You have to understand YOU were picked to be their mama. Change your thoughts around yourself and shift your mindset and you’ll see you actually are the BEST mom for your kids!
They need you, but you need you too. So show up for yourself and spend just 10 minutes alone to center and ground yourself before you’re precious little ones are awake!! 🥰🥰

Why is it so easy to love someone else and speak life and truth into them- but when it comes to ourselves we spend our entire day doubting, hating or speaking the worst things about ourselves.
Most people don’t even realize the thoughts they have about themselves! They’ve been talking/ thinking this way for so long that it’s just natural, its become the norm!
Y’all it is NOT NORMAL! If we can’t love ourselves fully how do you expect to show up for your family?! Your friends?! The world?!?

We need to re-wire our brains and have a shift in our mindset. We need to learn to truly love ourselves and silence the voice who says we’re not good enough. Because YOU are! 🥰🥰

Xoxo. 🥰

So many people wish their life was different. They wish things worked better, they wish they had a better marriage, relationship, wish they were better parents, wish they made more money or traveled more.
What if instead of just wishing you put the work in and made it work! Why do we sit around wishing for change instead of being the change?!?
If you want something different make it happen!
You know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results... If you want something to change fight for it!

What do you need to work for right now?!?

If this isnt the most perfect quote for 2020.. This year has been so difficult in SO many different ways. We’ve had set backs, we’ve had loss, we’ve had hardship. And I hate how this year has ruined so much for people that have spend years creating a dreaming.
But- Even in the difficult times there is still opportunity. This isnt eays to see if we are so focused on what is hard and what isnt going how we expected. This isn't something we can see if we aren't willing to grow and adapt. WE have to be willing to pivot and go with the punches that this life throws at us.
We had 2 months that we had no new dogs. We did no new demos and we had no new sales. This was 2 MONTHS in what is usually our busiest season. THis is usually when we are slammed and have 10+ dogs in our house. I was concerned our business could fail. However, we were determined to make sure we could adapt. We started doing virtual lessons, virtually group classes- was it perfect, did it go well? HELL NO it was awful! But we were willing to put in the extra work to be there, to show up for our clients even when it was awkward and hard.
You know what has come out of this awful time for us? Our busiest fall, we have had more demos and signed up more dogs than previous years. We are on track to make more than we did last year. We are so incredibly blessed to have a business that didn't just survive the pandemic, but is thriving. We know this is only true because even when it was hard we still showed up- we still did team meetings virtually we continued to do what we could for our clients.
There is opportunity surrounding us constantly- but are you willing to keep taking action when it gets hard? Are you willing to do the work even when it sucks and is difficult and you don't see anything from it?
Keep going. Keep pushing. You've got this friend!

🥰🥰🥰

Not many people are brave enough to chase their dreams, their wild dreams that maybe they havent even told anyone because it seemed so silly or seems so far out that it wouldnt even be a possibility…. So instead of allowing yourself to dream big and set crazy goals- you just let them go or brush them off as if they dont matter.
Yall we only get ONE life- so stop living the one life you’ve been blessed with for others. Stop living in fear of being judged for going after whats on your heart. Youre the one that would have to live with the regrets of not pursuing your passion, not anyone else!

If you're a mom you 100% understand this quote! I for the longest time would wake up with the kids because I thought the best way to show up well for my kids was if I slept enough. But then all day I felt like I was running defense for literally everything! I felt like I was distracted and overwhelmed. I realized if I took just 15 minutes before the kids woke up to center myself and have quiet time I could show up so much better for my family!

Now, this has turned into me waking up about 2 hours before the kids, just because I love having time to read my bible, meditate, pray, journal, exercise and get work done all before the kids wake up! Now I didnt start with 2 hours! I started with just 30 minutes for myself and i realized if i sacrificed just a little bit of sleep and showed up for myself I could show up better for those around me.
