Which button will you press?

Time to Reflect...

Thanksgiving is over and by now you are either shopping on Amazon to find your favorite jeans in the next size up, or you are feeling victorious over the first holiday showdown. For those of you reading this filled with T-giving regret, I have the perfect solution for you.     PRESS THE RESET BUTTON.   You have now come to the holiday crossroad. You can either press the Tap Out Button, be reckless for the rest of the year and join all the poor souls on January 1st, or you can take a deep breath, forgive yourself, do some good ol' fashioned reflection and press the Reset Button.     Pressing the Reset Button allows you to accept yourself as a work in progress. It also means you believe in yourself enough to try again and expect a better outcome. Anytime we feel our behaviors aren't in alignment with living our best life (think about the way we speak to our spouses when we are upset, or our mother when she is nagging us, a stranger in traffic, etc...) we can practice self forgiveness and make an intention for the next time this opportunity crosses our path.     Reflection is a huge piece of moving forward with the confidence in making a different choice. Using Thanksgiving as an example, what was it that triggered you? Was it the chaotic environment? Too many options for food? Annoying cousin Janice talking your ear off? We need to understand why our behaviors manifested in that way, get to the root and make a plan from there. Only then does pressing the Reset Button carry it's full power.     If you did well for Thanksgiving, then mazel tov! Rinse and repeat.     Make the commitment that no matter what, you won't ever press the Tap Out Button on yourself or your life. Stay tuned in, be present and always strive for more.   xoxo Carly Success Story: Congrats Livia, you're a rockstar!      "About a year ago I decided that I needed a big change in my life. I was unhappy with my body, the way I was living, my relationships, etc. That's when I found Carly. After seeing her and following the tips she gave me, I found that everything started falling into place. I started losing weight and I removed all of the people and all of the stuff that was causing me harm (emotionally and physically). My life started to change. I've grown so much in the past year and I feel happier than I have ever felt. I just wanted to say thank you to the people who supported me through this journey! I know my body and my life isn't perfect but that's okay, I accept it and love it just the way it is. Love you guys!" Recipe of the Week: Moo Shu Pork
