There I was struggling trying to become the best version of myself but I could not get out of my own way. And that was because I could not clearly identify the road blocks. The 12 Excellence Journal helped me with that -- Big Time! The big problem was that I kept depression-eating and gaining weight. And I didn't think I was depression eating. I thought I was "living my best life.
But my "best life" had me in a "bad way." I was 50 pounds overweight and could barely climb the steps without huffing and puffing. I was not pleased with the way that I looked but my friends all told me that I looked "beautiful" so I took their comments and kept "living." Needless to say, I was dying on the inside.... literally. Being overweight was weighing me down. And I knew I had to do something. It was then when I contacted Dr. Ferguson and Coach Arlo. And my life changed. I started to understand that in order to live your "best life" that you need to be at your "best." And I was not at my best. As I started making changes things started happening for me. Not only did I start to lose weight and drop a few pants sizes but I also started attracting the right people into my life. I hired these 2 gentlemen post-divorce and I had no clue how much work I had to do, but we did it and are doing it. I even got to the point where I was able to purchase my own home! And things were going smooth!
And then..... I got stuck. After winning and hitting my small goals and making some shifts and changes in life, I just got stuck. And not just stuck in a small way, stuck in a frustrating way. That was when Coach Arlo and Dr. Ferguson recommended that I start using the "Excellence Is A Lifestyle" journal. And let me tell you... this journal was my gamechanger.
Once I could clearly see where I was, where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be. I was able to identify where I currently was, what was stopping me, and who I needed to remove myself from and connect myself to. Now, everyday I know that Excellence is my lifestyle..... and I'm living it.
