Relentless

Good Morning Powerful Wonderful Women -

I am sititng her at my desk wishing to God it was me at the desk as an NVP and not an employee. There are a lot of benefits to working where I do since it is flexible enough to allow me to work on my Arbonne and I have developed a decent client base here. But this is not my passion. My passion is my family and my time. I feel like time is moving so fast and I resent having to spend 8 - 10 hours of each day here. Things are building to a boil in me. I can feel success in my business but I am frustrated by the feeling that I have to shoe-horn it in to the nooks and crannies of my day. I am planning to be a RVP by July 2010. When I sat down and mapped out my goals at the start of my business, that was how I envisioned things growing. I am hoping that by publicly proclaiming the promotion date it will make me more accountable to do the things required for success.

We learned from Mark that recommitment is required each day. A healthy fit person makes the commitment every day. That has become second nature to me now. I get up and say to myself each morning "I recommit myself to the efforts, behaviors, and successes of a healthy fit person." I have walked by my favorite bagel store EVERY day since we started in September and I have not bought a bagel. I have been eating from a smaller salad plate instead of a dinner plate EVERY night since we started in September. My consumption of snack cakes and cookies, and candy has dropped off so much and I continue to work to make my interest and cravings for them non-existent.

I am not sure where I am going with this post. I just knew I needed to write.

The dedication of each of you to this group inspires me everyday. I love you all.

Tee

ps: the cleanse mixed with the citrus surge fizzy is positively delicious. Who knew?

See, there you are again, waxing eloquently!! Love your blogs! Still committed to not smoking, thanks for the posiitve feedback on that! My presentation went well, I was proud of myself, 40 women! I got a small order, $212, that day, hoping to book something from it and I was given a card of a Doc who does resurfacing etc., so I am going to call and see if he would try Arbonne.
You are doing great with your commitment to health and fitness and I am very proud of you! I too see you as a NVP and all of us being totally in charge of our own time! I was thinking NTC might be out of reach but today I am going....no matter what!
XO

Ah Tee - Relentless - so appropriate for where you are right now. As you describe your feelings at work, I KNOW - It's where I was a year ago. Your identity is no longer tied to that job and you feel yourself pulling away and being drawn to a brighter future. And the absolute FRUSTRATION with being in the NOW and still doing your best - which is all you can do - makes it hard. Be relentless, the universe is unfolding and a brighter future is closer than you think.

Like Ginny, I love your blogs - you stream your thoughts so well! Hang in there!
