YLF 125: Getting to know Paul
Don't look at anyone "ahead" of you on your journey and think you are failing. This is your journey. Only you can grade you. No one else can. I got so into the comparison journey when I first started that I think it truly held me back in what I could be in the start. I wasn't focused on me but rather focused on what others were doing and why wasn't I where they were/are. That was a major poison to my start. A lot of self head games. Now, I decided to come alongside those people and cheer for them and they cheer for me. Such a healthier relationship with self and others and it really helped me in the focus on me and the ability in others to form that community and cheer them on with their progress.
YLF: 076 Chat with Paul
In the start, take body photos. You are absolutely going to hate those photos. Not because there is anything to hate, but this may be the first moment you are real and raw with yourself. This is your starting step. Also, be open/honest about your journey. Make people tired of hearing about it. This will help you be accountable to yourself and to them. Finally, this is a lifelong roller coaster journey. It will have its ups and downs. Highs and lows and even loop de loops. Stay buckled in. Don’t get off the ride just because it isn’t going right! You are worth every effort you are putting!
