Something I learned and Rebekah's "PUT THE FORK DOWN!"

I am an optimist and believe that everyone is blessed with a unique series of qualities and special abilities. Some qualities are good and some are bad. Trying to distinguish between the two can be difficult or almost impossible when you are your own subject. It's always so easy for us to tell people what they should do, or let go of, or my favorite.... "do you know what you would really be good at?" So easy to see the potential in others. Damn near impossible to see it in me or yourself. We can be brutal to ourselves. We say things to ourselves that we would never dare say to another person. Rebekah always says to me, "Give yourself a little grace." After 2,731 times of her saying it, I finally turned my head and asked her, "What did you say?" I learned that I need to give myself a few more pats on the back, a few more self hugs, and accept a compliment. Real Estate is a very personal relationship between clients and agents. We each have to learn a lot about each other during one of the most stressful periods in people lives: buying, selling, or moving. If you are giving your best, then give yourself some space for grace. When a client or anybody is pleased with your efforts, let them compliment you. People's sincerity is priceless. You're doing a great job. Sincerely. Thanks smarty pants. http://www.RebekahVanNatta.com

PUT THE FORK DOWN View this email in your browser WHAT THE FORK... PUT THE FORK DOWN Hey guys, let's talk about finding the consistency in our crazy busy lives! We'll its clear in all the craziness we have to find time to manage our sleep, family, work, career, errands, diet & nutrition, exercise, etc... right! It's a bit overwhelming and at times it provides us with great excuses to grab fast food on the go, or skip breakfast, be too tired to workout, over eat when stressed, or the I'll start exercising or eating better tomorrow excuse. Why can't it be as simple as putting the f*king fork down? I'll tell you a few reasons why. Comfort Routine Stress Addictive Behaviors Laziness All those things are very mind over the matter situations. So no it's not as simple as putting the fork down unless you are ready to acknowledge...maybe there's a few changes that need to be made in your daily routine with diet, nutrition, and exercise. My last blog I wrote about Breakfast first in the morning or exercising then eating your breakfast. Check it out for tips and reasons why breakfast is a good idea before you start your day! onhttp://rebekahvannatta.blogspot.com/ If you just try to eat a bigger meal in the morning, medium size for lunch, by dinner a nice small or light meal will fill you up until the next day where boom...breakfast happens! The mental process starts with you making that choice. When you've had enough of saying I want to start eating better, or I want to start working out again you'll make that decision. If you need a little help, I have an easy 5 chapter read on amazon click the link to check it out http://bit.ly/5StepsToMotivation. I will say it's easier to make the change once you've accepted where you are and where you want to be. So throughout this week  I challenge you to simply think put the fork down and see what happens. Maybe it may help, maybe it won't. But at the end of the day if your ready for change.... you will make effort to find the changes that need to happen.
