Have you ever noticed that you are your own worst enemy?? You judge and criticize yourself and others and even when you might be outwardly kind and compassionate to others, you are secretly wielding a baseball bat to yourself? You may have some words or phrases that you say to your Self that do not inspire or motivate you. In fact, they have the opposite effect and keep you stuck, bored and perhaps even feeling like a failure or depressed. Your SELF can easily get in the way of you living your dreams by constantly sabotaging your every move. It will make it feel like you are running in place and going nowhere fast. I’ve met many people in my life both personally and professionally whose SELF is quite literally destroying their life. They get so caught up in their “stuckness” that the very idea of living life differently seems impossible.
If you really want to take charge of your life, make some changes, and get over your SELF, follow my ROAR formula! The Katy Perry song, ROAR, inspired this formula. I just love the lyrics:
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR!!
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR!!
For me this song is about coming alive! Not letting anyone or anything keep you down. Unleash YOUR Champion and ROAR into the life of your dreams. Every time I hear it, I want to stand on a rooftop, fling my arms in the air, take a deep breath and ROAR!! This song actually inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and take a big risk…and it excites me to come alive in this the next chapter of my own life! I’d been feeling stuck for quite a while. And, even though I was taking baby steps in the direction of my goals, my life was not going in exactly the direction I wanted to go and it was incredibly frustrating. The more I heard Katy Perry’s song ROAR and focused on the words, the more I wanted to ROAR and be free! I’m taking bigger steps, going further and further outside what’s really comfortable for me. And I feel really ready to live this next chapter of my life. It feels like it’s going to be Breathtaking!
Are YOU Ready to ROAR??!! When you are ready, really ready to change, then follow these steps:
Realize how damaging your negative thoughts are. They are toxic and can destroy you. Most importantly, Realize that we have the power to change those thoughts and drastically change our life.
Overcome the pain and hurt of our past. It’s not serving you to be stuck on something you can’t change that happened 10, 20, 30…even 50 plus years ago. It’s time to “Let it GO!!”
Action speaks louder than words. Talk is cheap. Decide what you want out of life, and how you’re going to live it. Then GO Do IT!! If you want your life to change, YOU must change. Take Action.
Revitalize you. Being depressed and stuck sucks the life out of you. It’s exhausting! Energize your mind, body, and spirit with the fuel they need to be healthy! Eat healthy, exercise, think positive thoughts, and most importantly, practice gratitude, kindness and love with yourself and others.
Be a fighter! Come Alive! Unleash YOUR Champion! Get Over Your SELF and
ROAR!
