The Beginning, again.
Well, as hard as it is for me to believe, today is the 1 year anniversary of the launch of my business. What a year it has been! NO ONE could have accounted for the events of 2020 in their business forecasting that is for sure.
I’m taking a moment to catch my breath this morning and using a favourite reflection activity, which is also a useful tool to re-ground and then re-assess forward direction, to look back at the year behind. Look back at last year’s calendar, social media posts, blog articles etc. Are these consistent with what you wanted to achieve? Are you still on the same path, or does the path look different? And if it is different, do you need to re-evaluate career, activities, relationship (especially and most importantly your relationship with yourself)?
I have been so honoured to connect with so many new people this past year, learning about their stories and struggles, and celebrating their successes. I am happy to say that looking back on my very first blog post from last year (shown below), my mission remains the same. People are already awesome. It’s just that many have been told otherwise for so long, they’ve lost touch with their magic.
Today, I wish to remind you that YOU are a miracle. YOU are awesome. And this world is a better place with YOU in it.
Sending you love, strength and a note of encouragement to remind yourself how awesome you are,
Deanna
My first blog post, written late September 2019:
Thank you… for being here, for taking the time to read this, for believing in yourself enough to consider reaching for more.
Many places we turn today, it seems we are asked, “what is your why?”. “What is driving you to make the decisions you make?” “What makes you get out of bed in the morning?”
For some, the answer comes quickly and passionately. For others, when no answer comes forth, there is worry, there are tears and there is shame because they have no idea why they are doing what they’re doing. They are just trying to keep their head above water with all of the commitments they are trying to fulfill.
There is no right and wrong here. No matter where you fit on this spectrum, welcome. You’re in the right place.
Today, should you choose, begins a journey to help you continue to fulfill and grow your “why”, or, to find your “why”. Please recognize whoever you are, you matter. Your thoughts, your dreams, your goals, all matter.
I see you… buzzing with excitement while your brain bubbles with ideas. I also see you… lost, stuck and feeling down. Welcome.
What is my “why”? You. I have spent over 20 years helping women reach their health and wellness goals, and through that have seen that people need more-a personal trainer for their life. One who will encourage you to “complete that last rep” or to “try that exercise you don’t believe you can do” — we need someone to give us a little help to reach for more. Tell us that we can (and have the right to ask for the opportunity to) be an amazing mom AND the CEO of a company if that’s what you want. Or to stay home with your kids AND write that book that’s been percolating in your mind, if that’s what you want. Our goals and paths are all valid.
Let’s dive in! And again, with gratitude and authenticity, I thank you for being here.
