Hi friend, how is your week running down?
Mine? So good. We launched camps this week and I freakin LOVE launch week. I love seeing all the vets coming back to camp. I love seeing the new peeps with a little bit of hesitation on their faces walk through the door. It takes major courage, bravery and overcoming fear to actually sign up and show up for any fitness program, especially one called Boot Camp Challenge®!
This past weekend, I took a bunch of campers paddling boarding. We had such an amazing time. And, when all the campers took to the water, I looked out and saw all these strong, beautiful women and became emotional.
And, I thought - what did they have to tell themselves this morning to find enough courage to try something new, something a bit scary.
Many of them told me they were going to bail due to anxiety but showed up cuz they told me they were coming. Some shared they were going to cancel because they were so scared but because they had promised a friend, they showed up.
This got me really diving into fear. I thought, how do people find courage? What strategies do they implement to walk through the unknown? I don’t know how other s do it, but I can tell you how I do it and how my campers do it.
If you have time, I would love for you to take a listen to this week’s message. In it, I share the following:
- How to find your crew.
- Find you an encourager (if you can’t find one, call me).
- How to use prayer and meditation to get through something scary.
- How I overcame my fear of the ocean and prayed my guide would get eaten first.
As always, thank you so much for taking the time to listen to our podcast. I love all your ideas, suggestions, questions and comments. Please keep sharing with me what you want to hear and I will keep sharing with you the truth of fitness and wellness. And, to all of you who overcome your fears on the daily, you inspire me.
Smiles,
Lori
