Boost

Recently (August 12) I had a dear friend pass away and before she died she asked me to speak at her funeral. I live in Utah and the funeral was in Albuquerque, NM. Not only was I not prepared for her to die, I did not have enough time to prepare myself for the trip. I gained 6 pounds (and didn’t even beat myself up about it), I lost the 6 pounds I weigh myself every morning, I look in the mirror every morning but, I can’t seem to schedule an appointment with myself to get back on the track! i.e.Finish my modules, planning my meals the night before, Help, I need a boost. Thanks.

Answer:

First off, I am sorry to hear about the sudden death of your friend. There is a grieving process here and I hope that you will allow yourself time to mourn the loss of her.

I am interested in diving deeper into what ‘I can’t seem to schedule an appointment with myself to get back on track!’ looks like.

How much time so you want to spend watching modules? Get specific about this and then write it in your calendar.

What is the hardest thing about planning the meal the night before? Maybe you aren’t planning in a way that feels great. Maybe you just stick to planning more broadly like veggies, and protein with a certain list of fruit.

A boost is you believing in yourself. You are super capable in so many areas of your life and turning attention to your needs is the best thing to do. You can do this.
