Why Things Won't Go My Way

GLP-1s are taking the health world by storm—but are they really just a "quick fix"? 🎙️✨ In the latest episode of Warrior in Progress™, I’m breaking down what it actually takes to thrive while on a GLP-1 medication.

Do you feel out of control and stuck in your life?  Do you resist doing what you know you need to do for yourself so stay stuck on the hamster wheel?  Do you feel you are not living life authentically or to your full potential?  Often, we repeat the same mistakes over and over because we are not being honest with ourselves, accepting life on life's terms, and/or fully surrendering to reality so we can transform our lives.  In this episode, I discuss the magic of surrender with transformational leader and teacher, Kute Blackson. We discuss many topics from Kute's newest book, "The Magic of Surrender: Finding the Courage to Let Go" which will inspire you to empower yourself by surrender.  Learn more about Kute Blackson at: Reinvent Seminar: https://kuteblackson.com/reinventseminar/  Magic of Surrender Paperback released on May 3, 2022: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Surrender-Finding-Courage-Let/dp/0593421469/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1649873416&sr=8-1  kuteblackson.com  boundlessblissbali.com

"I was so motivated when I started but now my motivation is gone."  "I used to be so excited and committed, but now taking healthy actions for myself daily is too much of a chore."  Sound familiar?  When we begin making changes to improve our health and/or lose weight, often we are so motivated. We had to be motivated in the first place to even start making changes, right?! After time, our motivation wanes and can disappear completely.  In this episode, I discuss why motivation does not last. I also share my top 4 tips for how to continue moving forward on your journey despite lack of motivation.  Links: https://linktr.ee/warriorinprogress

"I messed up so bad this week. I can't believe I wasted this week. As usual, I have to start over."  "I was doing so good and then I fell off the wagon. I am a failure."  "The scale isn't moving fast enough. I should be further along."  Sound familiar?  Our self-talk can make or break us. The more we buy into these negative and false statements, the more likely we are to stay stuck or self-sabotage.  In this episode, I discuss how to see success faster. If you feel like you aren't seeing progress fast enough or you feel stuck, this episode is for you!  Links: https://linktr.ee/warriorinprogress

Do you commit to healthy changes for a while and then always slip back into your old habits?  Do you struggle to make time for yourself so you can achieve your goals?  Do you feel stuck in a vicious cycle and believe that living a healthy and happy life is just not possible for you?  Then you are in the right place!  In this episode, I discuss how to get back on track with your health and wellness goals with Transformation Specialist and Coach, Heidi Powell.  View the video interview on my YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/jfOmHUblSMw  Find out more about Heidi & Dave's 60-Day Get Fit Challenge that starts Monday, September 27th here: https://heidipowell.net/getfit.  Follow Heidi on Social Media:  https://facebook.com/realheidipowell  https://instagram.com/realheidipowell  Go here for direct links to podcast: https://linktr.ee/warriorinprogress.

"No matter how hard I try, nothing ever goes my way."  "I am doing everything I can and not seeing results like Jane is."  "I give up. This is too hard."  Sound familiar?  Often, when things don't go our way, we self-sabotage and/or want to give up. We compare ourselves to others, set unrealistic expectations, judge ourselves, and struggle to accept things which are out of our control.  In this episode, I discuss the how to shift your perspective when things are not going your way so you can achieve your goals.  Link to YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/JHUd41Q5SWQ  Other links: https://linktr.ee/warriorinprogress

"If only I could be where I was a few years ago, then my life would be better. I am upset that I gained the weight back plus more."  "My life used to be so good. I am so angry with myself for slipping back into old habits. How did I let myself get back to this place?"  Often, we hold onto resentment against ourselves for past mistakes and we forget to forgive ourselves. Also, we may not know how to learn from our past choices, forgive ourselves and move on. The resentment we hold onto for ourselves keeps us stuck.  In this episode, I discuss the importance of forgiving yourself, why you should forgive yourself and how to start the forgiveness process.  Link to YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVdi9MuTiZbpKN0GjKL7THg  Other links: https://linktr.ee/warriorinprogress

Have you ever put in a lot of effort to achieve a goal but didn't get the results you wanted? Then, you told yourself, "See, I told you that you couldn't do it. I told you it would be too hard."  Have you ever felt like nothing ever goes your way in life no matter how hard you try?  Have you ever not taken action on a goal because you were sure you would fail?  Often, our limiting thoughts and beliefs hold us back from achieving our full potential.  In this episode, I discuss the impact of limiting beliefs and how to take your power back from them so you can get unstuck.  Link to group program: https://mckeehealth.com/wip-group-pgm  Link to YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVdi9MuTiZbpKN0GjKL7THg  Other links: https://linktr.ee/warriorinprogress

Have you ever been making a lot of progress with your goals only to slip back to old habits?  Have you ever felt stuck and unable to get back on track?  Have you ever thought it wasn't possible for you reach your goals because ________ (fill in the blank: "you don't have the time to commit to yourself right now", "it's too hard", etc)?  Often, we want to make changes in our lives and feel very motivated to do so. We take positive actions for a while. Then, life gets in the way and our old ways of thinking come to the forefront causing self-sabotage.  In this episode, I discuss why we go back to our old habits and how to get back on track.  Group Coaching Program: https://mckeehealth.com/wip-group-pgm/
