One of the things I learned early on in my 145 lb. weight loss journey is that if I don’t know my why, it’s much harder to bounce back onto the right path when we’ve gone off the rails for whatever reason.
I used to teach men and women in the prison system how to find their why, and I’m telling you what, nothing made my heart smile more than when you saw the light bulb come on in their eyes and they realized they still had a reason to keep going. I would see grown men full of tattoos weep. Those are some of the most cherished moments in my career.
But finding our why isn’t just reserved for people in prison, corporate CEO’s, or super-focused high achievers. No, finding our why is critical for all of us, especially as we continue on the journey of weight loss and health and finding lasting freedom.
My hope for you is that by the end of this episode, you’re going to cling to your why like your life depends on it, because your life might just really depend on it.
“You lose your way when you lose your why.” Those are nine of the most powerful words I’ve ever heard, spoken by my friend Gail Hyatt.
Have you ever stopped long enough to ask yourself why?
And not the why you might be thinking I’m referring to.
Not “Why did I gain all the weight back that I lost?”
Not “Why can’t I get my crap together when it comes to getting healthy?”
Not “Why can’t I be like those other moms that can do all the things?”
Not “Why am I still single?
Those are important questions to ask at the right time, but those aren’t the why questions I’m talking about. We’re going to process through some more empowering why questions in today’s episode. You don’t want to miss it.
