Tip of the Day: I love the Lao Tzu quote I included in the picture above, but doesn’t it always seem like the first step is the most difficult?! In a simple form, the first step to get yourself up off your behind to put on your gym clothes can prove quite challenging. When it comes to making a serious change in our lives, the most difficult step is first one involving some sort of action. I’m sure you’ve said a million times, “I wish I could __fill in the blank___.” It’s easy for us to dream about or imagine where we want to be or what we want to have: a leaner body, a more fulfilling job, a loving relationship, a positive perspective. Yet, it’s so difficult to take that first step of action.
Fear is 9 times out of 10 the reason why that action proves to be so difficult. We fear the outcome and/or the process of getting to the desired outcome. What I’ve found to be the single thing that can dissolve fear from our lives is…momentum. Momentum is a force of movement that once initiated is easy to continue; I like to compare it to the process of building a snowman (I’m letting the Midwest in me show here, aren’t I) because as you roll a tennis-sized snowball through the snow, it becomes easier and easier for the snow to accumulate onto a base that ends up being 2 feet in diameter. Likewise, we can build momentum by starting small, such as with a good workout, which then inspires you to whip up a healthy breakfast, which then leads to a more productive morning, which then opens up the afternoon for…you can continue the story. 
Bottom line…allow momentum to break down fear in your life by taking a small first step, such as by carrying out healthy habits!

    Hey Lauren! I second Aunie's comment. The images are easy to pin. Which is a good thing! I actually like the simple text form better myself just cause I like the way it looks on your site better (seems cleaner to me). But I do think images would bring more people to your site, Which I also like because I think EVERYONE should know about you!
