I was listening to a podcast recently and the woman being interviewed said something about even the most confident women can tell you something about their body they’re not happy with or that they simply want to change themselves or their direction overall. It can be frustrating to feel like no matter how far you go, you feel like you still have more you want to do, be, see. It can also be rewarding though.
It’s those feelings, when taken positively can move us to keep learning, growing and being better. I know I always find the more I know the more I find I don’t know. That only makes me want to learn more. It’s a cycle I don’t mind being caught up in. I also know the frustration of wanting to change things but having no idea where to start. It’s so easy for us to say we want to be healthier, be fit, be successful. Saying those things takes no effort. Doing those things is another story. That’s where change needs to happen.
Lately, I have been having some big girl conversations with myself. You know those moments when you have to get real with yourself with what you want vs. what you’re doing. I am trying to move myself in a new direction. When it comes to my fitness goals, my business goals and my style goals. In some ways, I hit a bump in the road. Trying to remain a fit, fashionable biz mama has all kinds of challenges! What I know though is to change my direction I had to take action.
So, I’m kicking off a challenge! I’m challenging myself and you to try something new. Try something out of your normal and something out of your comfort zone. To get different results on anything we have to do different things. Something so simple as taking a different route to work can change your outlook. It could inspire an idea. The simplest changes can make the biggest difference.
I want you to make some simple changes with me. I’m hosting the W.O.W. Challenge. The W.O.W is W(ithin) O(ne) W(eek). In just one week, we’ll do something each day to change our perspective and switch our gears so that we’re ready, motivated and inspired with new ideas to change our direction! I’d love to have you join me!
In the comments, let me know what a new direction would look like for you.
P.S. Oh, feel free to share this post! I welcome any mama who wants to dive in and make 2016 even more awesome!

I am such a creature of habit. I am SO not a fan of change.
I am in dire need of a few big girl conversations myself! Definitely going to try the W.O.W. challenge. Great post x
Change can be a great thing even if it is scary. It is something I have had to do more than once.

That’s really inspiring. Sometimes we think of changes as a negative thing because we’re used to the way things are. Changes are always nice, especially if it’s for self-improvement.
Sometimes we do need to check ourselves! I’ve done a lot of self reflection and the growth is amazing 🙂 thanks for this reminder and inspiration!

I love this idea! We are always trying to change our lives, but we think to big and get overwhelmed then just stop trying. It is in our daily routines that we really have the power to make huge changes.
I get bored easily so yes I embrace changes. It keeps me alert an alive. For some people changes is negative but my beliefs are its a positive.

This is such a great post, thank you for the motivation. In one week I would like to finally get a start on the decluttering I have been talking about for weeks.
Making changes can be scary. But, change is great! Thanks for this lovely post 🙂
I love this! Very inspirational. I started taking ski lessons recently. I’d been wanting to do it for years. I finally just forced myself to go to that first lesson and it was a lot easier each week.

A new direction for me is a more focused direction. I have a lot of things going on my mind and most of the times it is hard to focus.

I don’t mind change. In fact, I welcome it. Without change, how does one grow? Great post.

Change is okay, as long as it is well planned and well explained, plus the direction or goal is clear as the light of day. However, if it is something like an “in your face” change, I am not one who would go for it. I always have this nagging question – WIIFM? (What’s It In For Me) before I make a decision.

I hate making any kind of changes in my life because it could mess with everything.
This is a great idea! We are trying to do this and I find that it has helped me be so much better as a person and a mother. I am working on being more patient and spending more time with my kids doing what they want.

If we do one thing a week that’s a WOW then that is 52 wows a year. Sounds like a plan to me. 🙂
I am really embracing change here lately. I love getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things, so I love this idea.
