I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros , so let's fucking go . Well , yesterday was the second Friday of January , which happens to be National Quitters Day . It was also January the 10th , which means it was National Bittersweet Chocolate Day and National Oysters Rockefeller Day .
I was sort of hoping that it was going to be National Ketchup Day , but , as it turns out , it wasn't . Anyway , I started thinking about the number of people . Like they say , there's anywhere from 50 to 80% 50 to 80% of people that quit on themselves on their new year's resolution by January the 10th .
If we are one of those people that makes a new year's resolution and then either doesn't start for whatever reason , or makes a new year's resolution , starts and then quits shortly thereafter , or makes a new year's resolution , is still hanging on by January 10th but is hating the process 10th but is hating the process .
I want you to know that it is not your fault . So often when we fail at something and I know this just as well as everyone else when we set a goal and then we fail at something , we become a failure . Right ? We believe in our minds that we are the failure . Here's the thing you are not a failure . Your plan has failed you . We choose a goal .
We decide that we're going to stop drinking . We are going to post four times a day on our social media . We're going to go to the gym five times a week . We're going to start on that diet . We're going to drink more water . We set the goal for ourselves , we set the resolution , but it's only on action .
The problem with that plan is we haven't addressed the thoughts that we have that led us to needing the thing in the first place . So if we have created a goal but part of the plan doesn't include thoughts and energy and action and behaviors to go along with the action , we're setting ourselves up for failure .
It is not us , it's go back to the goal that you want to achieve . Then choose to do at least one thing every single day that will address the mindset , reprogramming your subconscious mind , reprogramming that mindset piece so you can change the thoughts that you have about your goal , or change the thoughts that you have about yourself in achieving the goal .
And then look at the energy piece . Look at the energy and emotion . What is the energy that is running through your body ? How can you shift that ? When you combine those two things , then the action becomes so much easier to continue with .
I think back to Beachbody challenge groups , and you know I got to tell you I'm so disappointed that there's no coaching involved . Again , the challengers gained knowledge in those groups . There was support , it was fun , it shifted our mindset , it shifted our energy and we took action . We wanted to take action .
That's why more people than not finished the challenges . In the work 90-day challenge that I'm running right now , all of us are showing up all the time mindset , energy and action .
And the thing that's great about it is that , no matter what , even if we aren't able to finish any of the action pieces in a day , we are doing the mindset piece and the energy piece . And you know what ? We still feel as though we're moving towards our goal If you can work on your mindset every single day , whether you show up at the gym or not .
Today , you still have worked on exercising that mental muscle so that you can get your ass to the gym the next day . It is not you that has failed . It is the plan that has failed you . So today , on January , the 11th shift , your plan include mindset and energy work , in addition to the action that you need to take to in order to achieve the goal .
Reset , restart , let's fucking go . Thank you so much for listening . I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of . If you feel so called , I would love it if you would share with your besties . Leave a review down below .
I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode .
