Thinking about doing something isn’t going to create the momentum to take action.⁣
⁣
It’s so easy to get caught up in thinking about something, wanting it to be perfect or waiting for the perfect moment that we never end up doing the thing. ⁣
⁣
I probably thought about running for about 30 minutes. ⁣
⁣
Is today a good day to run? ⁣
Do I have the time?⁣
Maybe tomorrow would be better 🤔⁣
⁣
And we get caught in this overthinking trap, pushing our goals off to a future date that isn’t even promised. ⁣
⁣
Take the messy action! ⁣
Look silly 😜 ⁣
Go after your goals! ⁣
⁣
Being ready enough is a lie! Jump in full swinging 🙌⁣
⁣
You get to 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄! ⁣
⁣
All the love,⁣
Amanda 💕

Imagine your 75 yrs old, looking back on your life. What would make you proud? What have you accomplished?⁣
⁣
Are you being the person that your 75 yr old self is going to be proud of? ⁣
⁣
If the answer is no, then the time is NOW to do something about it. ⁣
⁣
Take the messy actions! Be fearless! Be courageously you! ⁣

Are you a victor or a victim of your life? ⁣
⁣
Do you get in your own way? ⁣
Make excuses? ⁣
Avoid all the things? ⁣
Stay in your comfort zone?⁣
Feel stuck? ⁣
⁣
It’s important to have complete ownership over our lives.⁣
⁣
When we blame anything outside of ourselves, we give our power away. ⁣
⁣
If anything or anyone else is the problem, the you must be the solution. ⁣
⁣
As long as you focus on an external problem, it’s easy to remain stuck. ⁣
⁣
So instead 💡⁣
⁣
What can you control? ⁣
What can’t you control?⁣
⁣
How can you be part of the solution?⁣
How can you be the warrior of your life? ⁣
⁣
You 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄! ⁣

It’s not a one time thing.⁣
It’s not something you can shirk off when you don’t feel like it.⁣
It’s not cheap.⁣
⁣
Your health is investing in you, isn’t it?⁣
⁣
It’s good to take care of your body because it’s the vehicle that drives you through life. ⁣

⁣
When we look at our health as a destination, we lose sight of really enjoying the process. When we don’t enjoy the process then it’s easier to give up  or quit because waking up early to workout sucks and sore muscles hurt… ⁣

⁣
When we procrastinate prioritizing our health, we're settling for living as a mediocre version of ourselves. ⁣
⁣
If you were being the best version of yourself right now, what would that look like? ⁣
⁣
So how can you find ways to enjoy your health and fitness journey?⁣
⁣
You 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄!⁣

12 years ago I went off to the Naval Academy as a very anxious and timid young girl. Initially, I tried to quit. I tried to run away. It was uncomfortable, completely out of my element and holy 💩 I was out of my comfort zone!⁣
⁣
Change can be scary. It can stop someone in there tracks if they allow it too, can’t it?⁣
⁣
It can be easier to avoid the things that make us feel uncomfortable, turning to things outside ourselves for comfort. ⁣
⁣
There were so many times in the Navy that I wanted to hide, avoid a situation, curl up in a ball. ⁣
⁣
When hiding isn’t a choice, you show up. It’s a choice when I 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄. We decide to feel the fear and do it anyway. We decide to take action, to use your voice, to take the scary route. ⁣
⁣
Someone could decide each and every day if they’re going to allow fear to win, or if they’ll conquer that weak voice inside, telling you that you are not good enough. ⁣
⁣
This is your life! How do you choose to live it?⁣
⁣
𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄.⁣
⁣
P.s. This is my last official day in the Navy. I have been known as a cadet, midshipman, Lieutenant, SWO, and now I am a veteran. Fu** yeah!

STOP HATING YOUR BODY!⁣
⁣
When you spend any time dissatisfied with your body…⁣
⁣
That doesn’t typically help with motivation, does it? ⁣
⁣
It doesn’t help staying in this dissatisfied state when there is no action being taken.⁣
⁣
Dissatisfaction can be a driving force, right?⁣
When action follows.⁣
⁣
It is when there is no action, only dissatisfaction and body shaming. ⁣
⁣
So what’s the driver? The drive that motivates you to workout. To get you up in the morning with a hell yeah attitude to take on the day.⁣
⁣
Are you more driven by pain or pleasure? ⁣
⁣
Clarity creates action!⁣
⁣
What drives you? ⁣

Today for the first time in 7 years, I will see my Dad. ⁣
⁣
In high school my Dad was an alcoholic. My parents separated not on the best terms. Since then we went years without talking at a time.⁣
⁣
I am beyond proud to say that he has been sober for over 2 years now! After 6 years of not speaking, we started talking about a year ago, getting to know each other all over again.⁣
⁣
I get to see him for the first time. It’s scary and so exciting! ⁣
⁣
Holding grudges isn’t worth it! Resentment is a poison. Carrying that negativity around is like carrying around extra baggage, right? ⁣
⁣
Forgiveness allows the letting go of past memories, opening up the ability to more easily spread love to the world! ⁣

You are one decision away from starting. ⁣
One decision away from your dream.⁣
One decision away from happiness.⁣
One decision away from confidence.⁣
One decision away from your dream bod.⁣
One decision away from being the best you.⁣
⁣
It takes one decision.⁣

Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, what if you shifted to what could go right? ⁣
⁣
When we shift our thinking, we open up so many more possibilities! ⁣
⁣
What could you look at in your life right now and ask this question? ⁣
