Do you ever think that if you just keep going, keep trying, keep pushing that some day you will feel accomplished, arrived, proud?

This used to be my mindset.

I’m Trudy Gebhard, a small-town girl from Montana, living in Wisconsin, Mom to John Michael and Will (yes, they are adults but I’ll forever be their Momma), wife to John, retired athletic club owner (of 34 years), and then, a business and mindset coach.

I was recently working with a client who had lost a close friendship within the past year. She had come to terms with no longer being in her friends life, but as we spoke about it, she began to realize that there were unanswered questions as to why the friendship fell apart.

Have you ever had a day where you were just in a bad mood, where every little thing seems like it irritates you? Yep, me too.

Have you ever woken up in the morning and know the day was going to go badly?

Have you ever had a night where you just could not sleep, and when you did sleep you had horrible dreams? To say you aren't ready to start your day would be an understatement!

Are you living with intentionality?

If you can’t begin to answer that question, I have a tip for you.

This is an exercise that I do myself and with my clients all the time.

First, define the area of your life you would like to focus on.

Do you want to feel better?

Who doesn’t?

For me, the starting point is beginning to find clarity around who you want to be as a person,

A Mom,

A wife,

A daughter.

Are you struggling starting a weight training habit? Me too! Here’s a picture into my brain: “Monday morning again. I WILL start strength training this week. I can’t believe I blew it off all last week AGAIN! I don’t have any willpower. Why can’t I figure this out? Everyone else seems to not have any problem getting stronger. I’m a loser and this bed is SO cozy!”
