You know I like to be honest and I like to share all the things and not sugarcoat anything . And last night I messaged my accountability buddy and I said I had to have a come to Jesus with myself and then I went to sleep so she didn't get the rest of the story till this morning .
And I was interesting that last night I was reflecting and contemplating and thinking of all the things that I've been doing and also haven't been doing . Let's be clear , chrissy is not perfect . But I was like you know what I think I am too comfortable , like I think I'm too comfortable and we get to this point where we push ourselves over and over and over .
But even pushing ourselves , that eventually gets comfortable , eventually that gets easy . And then we're in this comfort zone and nothing exciting happens there . And you guys know I have been . I have I went on a year journey of getting uncomfortable . I did a hundred uncomfortable things in 90 days , like I've done all these things .
So I know what that stagnant feeling feels like and I just , you know I had to have this come to Jesus and identify that and be like , okay , what am I going to do differently . So it was funny when I woke up this morning to go to the bathroom not to purposely get up early , be clear .
But I got up at 4 am and I went to the bathroom and I thought I was going to go back to bed and I was like , why are you going to go back to bed ? You just said you were too comfortable . Going back to bed is the comfortable thing , right , just get up and get your stuff done .
And so I got up and I got so much stuff done before I got on my 5.30 am accountability call , which I have every single morning , and I spent time with my dogs . I took them out , I took them to the bathroom every morning routine , realized that my morning routine had started to suck and get , you know , pushed to the behind , basically .
And so I was like , okay , do your thing , do your meditation , do your gratitude , do all of these things . And I stretched and I played in the floor with my dogs and I felt so good at 5.30 am . By 8.30 am I had gotten so much stuff done .
I got content created , I had ads created , I had checked in with some of my clients , I had responded to some of my clients Like , again , so much done . I did a training . I was behind on again . All these things happened . Yes , was I tired ? Yeah , I was getting a little tired . So at like 9.30 , I'm like , okay , you need to return stuff to Amazon .
How many people have like a whole Amazon thing like sitting around waiting on your return it ? You're not going to sleep , just go do this and so . And then I got home , I got ready for my iconic call , my final iconic call , and it's like I have just been pushing myself on video all day .
Because that is the place , friends , let me be very clear , it is my strength , but it's also my weakness . Because it is the place that when I start slacking on video , I , the old me , comes back and she loves not being on video . She loves not being on video . She really loves not being the center of attention .
She loves not showing up , she loves all those things . So she reminds me hey , remember how good that felt when you weren't on video , when you felt safe and comfortable and you didn't have to show up . But then I remind myself remember how unexciting that was , remember how you never reached your goals .
Like this is a dual conversation I have with myself , not lying , because the easy way , the easy thing is to not to do it right . The easy thing is just to go net like something by the way , I got a little distracted with Virgin River . Anybody else like a binge , the whole thing .
But it's like those types of things are so comfortable but they're not moving the needle forward in my business . It doesn't mean that I'm hustling and I'm being this crazy workaholic or anything like that . I'm still only working I don't know six hours a day . I don't count working on myself working .
You can choose to count that as working if you want , but I don't count that as working . I count that as personal growth , personal development and the whole reason that I love what I do . Because I love that growth , I want you to identify and be honest with yourself . Are you playing small ? Are you too comfortable right now ?
Because if you're comfortable , you're playing small . Even if you're a person that pushes yourself , if you've gotten into a groove that it's easy , you're probably playing small . Whenever I can self-identify this and realize this about myself , I obviously make the changes . I play small does not get me where I want to go .
Being comfortable doesn't get me where I want to go . I don't follow Dave Ramsey or anything like that . But I do love his quote that he says do the hard things now so that it can be easier later . Maybe you're like Chrissy . It's a constant cycle , like you literally do hard things and it gets easy and then you push yourself again . Absolutely , I sure do .
That's my life , that's what I love , that's what lights me up . I want to see what is possible for me . I want to see what is possible for you . I love blowing my own mind , but you know what I love more than that Watching you blow yours . It's beautiful to watch my clients have a ha's .
It's beautiful when people reach out to me and say I had no idea like you literally just blew my mind , you literally just saved me so much time . You literally just whatever right , I will not stop pushing and getting uncomfortable and playing bigger , because that means I'm doing a disservice to my audience .
I don't remember who said it , but somebody said if you're not growing , you're dying , and I truly believe that and I believe growth comes in many facets . I talked about this on the iconic call today . Like phase one of growth is just like the physical side , like watching this video . Right now You're watching this video . That's phase one .
Phase two is like starting to take action . Like starting to take action . Phase three is going all in , meaning you take the action , you're embodying it , you're so aligned whether you get the results in the timeframe that you want or not . That's hard . 99% of the people that come to me struggle with being consistent in something . It's hard to stay consistent .
It's uncomfortable to stay consistent when you're not getting results , when the things you want to happen are happening . So what happens is people pivot or they change and they don't keep going down the same path .
So they never got an opportunity to see if what they were doing worked , because they couldn't stick with it , or they started to believe it wasn't going to happen . And if you believe it's not going to happen , most likely it's not going to happen . Can you be consistent when it's hard ? Can you do uncomfortable things ?
I've never bungee jumped , but this is how I kind of feel about uncomfortable things . I feel like when I do uncomfortable things my heart rate picks up , my pits get a little sweaty , but I feel like a million bucks afterwards . Just by doing I don't know four videos today , I feel like a million bucks .
I didn't make a million bucks , but I feel like a million bucks because I did more video than I've been doing every day . And I don't want you to look at me and say , how are you not uncomfortable ? You do this stuff all the time . Our comfort levels are different , so if you're never on video , one video a week is probably uncomfortable for you .
Go do that and then , once you get comfortable doing one a week , do two a week . How can you stretch yourself just a little bit more to see what's possible and to see what happens ? But don't do it one time and if you don't get the result you want , be like , okay , I'm not doing that again .
You get to do it consistently , over and over and over , with the belief , with the certainty that the right people are going to see you , show up and want to work with you . It's not in our timing , it's in their timing . But how consistent are you willing to be ?
How often are you willing to show up and how long are you willing to stay on that uncomfortable course ?
