Hello, hello, and welcome back to the Fit Soul podcast. I'm so grateful that you are here today. I've got a short little encouraging message for you, to encourage you, to motivate you, also to challenge you. Listen, as a believer, as a follower of Jesus, we are not called to live average lives. Hear me out. We have a mission on this earth. While we have breath in our lungs, every day is a gift and it's an opportunity.

Speaker 1: 1:19

And too many, too many people are living on automatic pilot. They are feeling stuck and stagnant, they're living distracted lives and they know they're meant for more and it feels terrible to not move forward in our lives at the best possible way. It's not about perfection, but it is about pursuing our lives with boldness, with vitality, to have vibrant, thriving lives. Oh my gosh, I'm so passionate about this because I used to be so stuck. My soul was suffocating, and I know I've tasted freedom and I want it so badly for everyone I come in contact with. Life's too short, and so it's not about being great and, you know, being popular and all of these things, no, it's not. But it's about living a vibrant, thriving life and that's what I want for you. And so in today's podcast, I want to share with you the power. I want to challenge you to step into that place of optimization in your life, in your health, in your, your relationships. This message is from my walkworthy mentorship and I think it's probably gonna challenge you. It's so interesting. I record these and then I listen to them back and I'm like I'm challenged. I'm always challenged and motivated and encouraged and inspired as well. So I pray that you will feel that as well with this podcast.

Speaker 1: 3:10

You know, when I work with my clients one-on-one, we talk about strategies to help them stay on course, to help them stay tied to the goal that they're trying to achieve, whether it's a better level of health, improved relationships, their business leadership, a whole host of reasons why I coach people. And one of the things that I find myself saying again and again and again and it doesn't matter to which degree or how I'm coaching and working with a client or a group coaching program and working with the client or a group coaching program this comes up a lot and it's we have to recalibrate. We have to stay closely tied to the vision, the goal, because if not, we are so as humans, we forget, and so that's why it's so important in this program and in your life, that you build the habit of intentionality in your life, that you approach your life with a level of conscientiousness and awareness so you can live optimized, so you can have that thriving life. That thriving life isn't about dollar signs, honestly. The thriving life isn't even about having, oh my gosh, the best health. Some things we cannot control, but the things that we can control where can we take it up a notch? Where can we do a little bit better? We take it up a notch. Where can we do a little bit better? Where are we hitting the same roadblock over and over and again and kind of wishing for a new result? Wishing is a shoulda, coulda, woulda. It's not going to get you anywhere. It won't even get you a free cup of coffee.

Speaker 1: 6:22

So today, what I want to ask of you is the intention you set for this week, even the intentions that, the goals that you set out at the first of the year, at the first of the month. How are you doing with it? And if you're saying to yourself I don't even know what my goals are, girl, let me just stop you right there. You will never achieve that next level of success unless you've got clarity and focus around what your goals are, always, always, always be able to spit out three goals you are currently working on and then stay close to that. Remind yourself of that. This is how we create clarity. This is how we stay focused. So today is a good day to check in with yourself in the week and train yourself to check in midweek. How am I doing On the things that we know will optimize our lives. Let's just talk about a few super quick, real quick here, right Time, with Jesus, surrendering to him A prayerful life, Connections with others, hydration, eating. Well, there are some things that we can't short circuit our way to success. We can't take a pill or a shot and to make it all better, and so, right now, ask yourself these things so you can level up right now. This is all about optimization.

Speaker 1: 8:13

Our verse today is Ephesians 4, 22 and 24. It says you were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by deceitful desires, and to be made new in the attitude of your minds, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. We're talking about optimization. We're talking about being in God's economy. We're set apart. We're called to a different standard and to look different than the world looks. To love different than the world loves. To speak differently than the world speaks. To love different than the world loves. To speak differently than the world speaks. To shine brighter. We're not creative for average, but if we're only living average and not doing the things that are going to improve our lives, how are we going to reach that optimized level?

Speaker 1: 9:20

You can't step into a new season with an old mindset. The patterns, distractions and habits that kept you stuck don't belong in an optimized life. God's way calls us higher, calls us to renew our mind, calls us to step into the new, and our lives are called to be set apart. So today, in this faith activation text, let's recalibrate to the highest level, to the vision, to the goal, to the plans, to the purpose that God's called for our life. And when we're not nourishing our bodies properly, taking care of the temple as well as we can, resting when we need to rest, when we're allowing distractions to keep us stuck instead of distractions to keep us stuck instead of operating with focus and clarity, when we're choosing isolation instead of community and unforgiveness instead of love man. God just calls us to a different standard, a different way, and so, staying tied to the very highest version of who he says that you are chosen, loved, fully embraced, seen, loved, known.

Speaker 1: 10:43

You go out today and you go be the most incredible, optimized version of you. Use your time wisely. Do the things that it's going to take, honor the hard places that it's going to take to get you unstuck in the areas you're stuck, or if you're getting to a level and trying to get to a next level, it's going to require that extra strength and fortitude inside of you. Keep pushing. You've got this. I'm cheering you on. Go make today an amazing day. Renew your mind, shift your life. I love you. Go walk worthy.
