Transformation Tuesday: From Depressed and Stressed to Truly Blessed

There comes a point in everyone's life that we have to decide what it is we are meant for, what is worth living for and why we are here. Yes, a deep conversation we have to have with ourself, no one else. Because truly, our opinion in regards to our life, is the only one that matters. This can be a very hard conversation to have with yourself when life is difficult. But that is by far the best time to dig deep and really decide what it is you are here for.

Personally, for me, this came at the darkest time of my life. Honestly, I had started to give up. I had stopped living for me and only doing things for others because I had to. I lost sight of my dreams, I had no expectations for life and questioned whether I was worthy of even being here. No one knew I was reflecting in such a way. I put a smile on my face everyday at work and then came home and was miserable.

Finally, when a friend became sick again, I realized something. My problems could be so much worse. The pain I was having from being sick could have kept me from living my life, for providing for myself but it didn't. The heart break I was feeling could have been even worse. I could have lost so much more than I did. I started to realize that I was waking up each day still able to decide what I wanted for my life and some people don't have that ability. This was my game changer. This was my gut check. This was my turning point.

What started as a decision to join a health and fitness group to lose weight turned into a new life, a better life, a better version of the empty shell I had allowed myself to become. I started to actively partcipate in the group when I started to see other people get results. I realized that these people were becoming the reason I woke up. They were providing me the positive life force I didn't have for myself anymore.

Then I slowly started to watch myself transform. I started to see myself smile more, I started to see that positive energy shining. I started to see my heart feel lighter and my mind opening. I had people personally messaging me telling me what an inspiration I was and I was confused. No one knew I was dying on the inside. So stressed from huge unexpected life changes and the financial burden my health had brought on. The messages continued and then an opportunity presented itself. For me to coach.

Say what.....yeah! Truth. I did it. I decide what the heck might as well. My life needed to improve and how else would that happen if I didn't branch out and try new things? So I slowly started to work but didn't really take it seriously at first because I couldn't get out of my own head. Then finally, it was a call from another top coach hearing her story, where she came from and what it took her to overcome her unexpected changes in her life. That was the moment that it all clicked. I was destined to do greater things.

Here I sit 8 months from when I initially make the decision at my healthiest. I am no longer sick, I am no longer stressed over my financial situation (paid off my medical bills from being a coach) and I am conquering life instead of letting it conquer me. I promised myself that 2015 would be nothing like 2014 and I am doing that and more. This week I paid off my Penn State loans after only graduating 3 years ago (paid for from coaching) and I just signed up to become a fitness instructor for the new workout Cize!

Secretly, I have wanted to be a fitness instructor from the first time I  took a class. It's on my goal board to come an instructor by the end of the year. So when I opened my email I said YES! Without thinking, I signed up and will completely my training by July 15th! It's so crazy to thing what kind of effect on decision has had on my ENTIRE LIFE. I find myself traveling more, worrying less and learning each day to love myself more.

This is my life, I am proud to live it and I love sharing my struggles with others because it was one person sharing their story that changed my life.
