Life is full of moments waiting for us to seize them, yet many of us find ourselves merely existing rather than truly living. In this blog post, I'll explore the fine line between existing and living, as discussed in a recent episode of the "What the Gut" podcast. Let's dive in and learn how we can break free from limbo, embrace change, and become the best versions of ourselves.

Are You Alive or Just Existing?

It's a question that might make you uncomfortable, but discomfort is a breeding ground for growth. Are you genuinely living life, or are you simply floating around, letting the winds of time carry you aimlessly? Many of us fall into routines, merely surviving day to day, going through motions without feeling truly alive. It's time to change that paradigm.

Faith Without Works is Dead

Living is not just about faith; it requires work. As busy moms juggling numerous tasks, it's easy to fall into a pattern where health and vitality take a backseat. But remember, even when motivation dwindles, discipline keeps the momentum. So let's embark on this transformative journey towards holistic well-being.

The Illusion of the Perfect Time

We've all been there. "I'll start focusing on my health after the holidays," or "once the kids are back at school." But waiting for that elusive perfect moment means you might end up waiting forever. Life will never slow down or become less busy on its own. The truth is, transformation occurs amidst chaos and mess, not waiting for everything to align perfectly.

Is It Hard Enough Yet?

This question, inspired by a conversation with a mentor, probes deep. Are you tired of feeling stuck, exhausted by your efforts to change without seeing results? Often, it's when things become unbearably hard that we're ignited to make transformative changes. So, what's really holding you back from a healthier, more fulfilling life?

Taking Action: Small Steps Lead to Big Change

The path to change doesn't require overhauling your life overnight. It's about deciding to take that first step, no matter how small. Maybe it's cutting out processed foods or taking a ten-minute walk each day. Action creates momentum, and momentum leads to growth.

Commit to Consistency, Not Perfection

Perfection is an illusion that often derails progress. Instead, focus on consistent effort over flawless execution. Life will throw curveballs, like a child’s unexpected meltdown. What matters is your commitment to showing up for yourself even when plans falter.

Living Fully: It's Up to You

In the end, the choice to live fully, to embody the person you aspire to be, lies solely in your hands. No one else can make those decisions for you. You are capable of far more than you realize; you just need to start. You’re worth the effort, and so are your health, happiness, and energy.
